Day 103

I know that I have been MIA lately. Unfortunetly, I let my training slow done due to a few different reasons. However I am back on track.

I did not end up doing the Harbor run. I just was not ready.

Taking a trip to Fleet Feet (a great but be it overpriced) was exactly what I needed to get my butt in gear. That and all of the attention from people over my weight loss. It is frustrating; I am happy that people notice, but I am sensitive so when people say, "you look so amazing/great/etc"., I just keep thinking gee, did I really look that horrible before? I just feel the scrunity with these people. Because I am in a lull with my weight at the moment, I feel I am dissapointing people that the weight is not coming off fast enough. Or that if I am bloated due to my period, people will be quick to say, "oh look, she has already gained some weight back". It is truely making me miserable.

So.....anyway, I found another 5K that is about 3 weeks away. The registration has already been submitted and paid for so there is no backing out. The race is Sept 18th in B-ville. Kevin is doing it with me but will probably finish a good 8 minutes before me. I am not looking forward to it, but at least I have a goal to work towards. I think it is exactly the motivation I needed.

So I have just been focusing on running. My YMCA memberships starts back on 9/20 so I really look forward to getting in some cross training.

This post sounds really whiny, but it is how I feel at the moment. :-(
