February 15-21st

Tuesday: Alright, boys, I'm back after a month of feeling sorry for myself, I put on my shoes and ran around the neighborhood. I ran for only 6.5 minutes before I needed a walking break but I only walked for a couple of minutes before I was running again. I must admit I walked on the steepest hills. I did get a beautiful new view of the city (I will walk with you there next time you visit Greg). Google maps says my route was 2.4 miles. It was a dubious start, but it was a start. I am thinking I will start what I did the summer I was unemployed in Missouri -- I ran whenever I was bored. I think I can run a couple of times a day when I'm thinking about taking a nap instead.

I'm planning to develop a healthy eating plan this evening and shop around that. I don't mind eating healthy, I just have to have the good foods on hand. I double-checked my savings this afternoon and it's very strong. Even though I don't have any income, I may splurge on an iPod Nano soon because I really think that the Nike Fit running tracker is SO cool. Maybe I will reward myself with that if I run for a month regularly.

I also have to admit its much more fun to run outside .... I ran down Polk street, which is lined with interesting shops so there were a lot of people to watch as I raced by.

Wednesday: I ran this morning as soon as I charged my iPhone after waking up. I ran for 8.25 minutes this time before I needed a walk break, but I walked most of the walk after that. The hills were rough (one of my knees feels weird) and it was quite hot. I washed my Nike running jacket for the first time today because I noticed it really smelled funny. Google maps says I ran (travelled?) 2.3 miles.
