It's been a while...

Sooooo, let me essplain, no there is too much, let me sum up: Since the celebration of my Aunt's life which was the weekend of the 25th, I have been vegetarian, at least to the best of my knowledge. It is possible, however unlikely, that I might be eating steaks in my sleep. Unlikely because I have been wandering the streets of the San Jose, searching for something to eat, but I cannot put my finger on what it is that I am looking for. I feel a little like Alex the Lion from Madagascar.

On the up side however I have been feeling lighter and generally "better", but for all I know that could just be psychosomatic. My mileage has gone up a substantial amount, with last week hovering around 40 miles. this week I am hoping to take another jump up, shooting for whatever I can get. Today I ran around(wait checking map my run...) 10 miles total, with 7 in the hills this morning and 3 this evening. Today marks my first double day, something I have not done in quite a while. I suppose it is justifiable considering that I ran so slow this morning that one of the high school girls I used to coach was not too far back on the uphill.

In other news the toe shoes are going to get shelved for a bit while I rest my thoroughly bruised feet in some good old foot coffins. The rocks at QS and LG murdered them last week so now its time to rest the hamburger before I do something real dumb. On top of that, dodging every tiny rock both up and down hill is seriously impacting my speed and enjoyment of the run.

Is it July

Between discarding my watch, going to class every day, and simply running farther and lighter than ever, this blog is officially on hold! To sum up, I am running every chance I get, which is fortunately every morning.
