Hi everyone.  Just a quick blog to let you know I'm alive. 
 
This week has been a study in set backs for me.  Seems that when you have a setback in one area, other areas get jealous and want to join in.  It tries my patience.
 
I think I figured out my running energy crisis.  It seems so stupid.  Apparently I was deficient in some basic things like iron and fats.  I have been eating more iron rich foods the past couple of days and last night I was able to do the full run with only a spot here and there of walking.  I also rearranged my eating so that my biggest meal falls at lunch.  This leaves my body time to absorb the "fuel".  I am NOT trying to diet, but I do try to keep my food intake under a reasonable calorie count.  Maintenance.
 
My reason has been busy and not communicating.  It feels like I'm holding my breath.  No amount of reason or logic makes it feel better.  I'm hoping this weekend he has more time to share.  I go from sad to angry and then a little scared when left to myself and I resent that.  It's a real test of what we've established so far to see if we can pick up where we left off.
 
Other parts of my life are sooooooo boring.  I feel like all I do is work (which has been very boring), come home and run, and sleep.  There are a few hours at night where I'm literally just laying around with no energy to do much more than watch a little TV or surf the net a little.  I'm sure there are other things I could do, but somehow my interest is lagging.

    Hi uni, I'm here.  Eat more carbs -- I like the sound of that.  I suppose that means good carbs like whole grain shit and not the really good bad carbs like cookies and chips...

    MMM - LOL I think technically I could eat the bad carbs and fats, but then I'd just have to lug around more "body" on my runs.  I'm increasing good fats like avacados, nuts and fish but have also indulged in the bad fats on the days I run.  Glad to see you here Miss Meems!

    Well you definitely sound drained. I'm glad you've gotten your eating regimine figured out and I hope it keep working. I'm sorry other areas aren't so great. I hope that changes quickly and you can be a little more at peace and gather your gusto again soon.

    Hege - I hope they change too.  I'm not especially good at waiting.
