What kinda OF KARMA do I emit to attracts the crazies!!!???.... I mean really.... who else has someone jump on the track in front of them, TRYING TO STOP THEM, in the middle of a race? SO I arrive in Tom’s River NJ this am for the USATF NJ Indoor Track and Field Championships . The goal was to see how my training was progressing and to obtain some points for my Philly Masters Track & Field Club. On arrival I was kinda intrigued by the whole Saran Wrapped looking indoor track... but kinda freaked about the vacuumed sealed rotating doors that made your ears pop... I love track meets.... unlike road races where you can usually only see the runners start and end.. in track you can see every painful mile... I had hoped to run the 3,000 & 1,500 meter races.. however a slight twinge in the shin caused me to ditch the 1,500. Prior to the start of the women’s race I was talking to a lady who made mention that she had recently been to France and raced the 3,000 meter there.. WTF!..I thin...

I am sitting here at work with my coffee and an apple.. HOW UTTERLY BORING is that!!! ...I am trying to behave… dreaming of a French pastry or nice cinnamon scone… sigh … its that time of year (in March) that I have to drop the extra 5 pounds that I carry in the winter to keep me warm.. OH YEAH… it’s a great excuse (carrying an extra 5) to be able to eat what I want and so on through the holidays.. but now it's time to get serious… GOTTA be able to run like a cheetah come spring… I think I may starve to death…. this will not go well… I AM MOST CERTAINLY SURE I WILL STARVE TO DEATH..!! Whinny girl… NO cheese steaks tonight… Cutting back overall… SIGH

Wendy GOT THE BABY in the king cake !!!!! Good luck for a year!!!!.... (or does that mean I will get pregnant??) Yikes!!! For those who have NO IDEA what a king cake is… here is a bit of history I googled ..(I crossed out the part where I am suppose to bring a King Cake to the next party or gathering… and added my own comments in red…) The New Orleans tradition, begun in the 1870s, borrows heavily from European customs. As part of the celebration of Mardi Gras , it is traditional to bake an oval cake in honor of the three kings - the King Cake. The shape of a King Cake symbolizes the unity of faiths. Each cake is decorated in the traditional Mardi Gras colors: purple represents justice, green represents faith and gold represents power. A small baby, symbolizing the baby Jesus, is baked into each cake. In New Orleans, King Cake parties are held throughout the Mardi Gras season. In offices, classrooms, and homes throughout the city, King Cakes are sliced and enjoyed by all. Like th...

Laying here, feet propped up in order to redistribute the blood flow correctly and to stop the pulsating throbbing in the leggies... wondering if going to bed at 5pm is too early... Joe and I had our “long run” today.. . we knew after yesterdays quick 6 miler and the subsequent 2 hour MTB adventure ...not to expect too much... but boy was that an overstatement....half way through our 10 mile run...there is a hill ...a real ugly type hill... one of those really LONG seems like FOREVER hills...well today I was feeling a little "Off" and I promised myself that if I made it up “Suicide Hill”... if I ran the whole freaking way up it... that I would stop at the top ...for just a second...to rest-tee-po a bit.. Although my first thought was of throwing myself on the ground to see if when Joe caught up to me if he would step on me or over me ..... so after reaching the pinnacle of that hateful hill I stopped for a few seconds and took a glance behind me.. YES.. still no Joe... See t...

Well …..we woke up bruised and battered from our fun, relaxing MTB (Mountain Bike) ride yesterday. Yeah, I was EXHAUSTED... thrown off bike twice… Joe flipped off bike too... traction was awful... I want to say fun ride.. and it was…but what a mud fest…you should have seen Joe's flip.. he attempted to go over a rather LARGE log…. jumping it with the bike.. um the bike stopped but he didnt.. he did like a midair dive tuck forward roll.. I guess all that Karate he took as a kid paid off... clap… clap.. clap…. …9.5…9….9.5….perfect 10… yahoo.. My first catapult happened when the back wheel totally slipped out from under me in the mud as I was sailing down a small hill and I went flying off to the left without my bike… I ended up on my back looking up at the sky, with Jill (the gal riding behind me) looking down at me… “You alright” she said…. “ UM YEAH”.. I picked myself up out of the mud and back on bike… onward… second time same thing, fly off to left, Jill look down at me.. ... po...

OMG I am like a giant salt lick now... NaCl.. Sodium Chloride...I accidentally opened the wrong side of the salt shaker on top of the cheese fries.. now not only did we have cheese steaks and cheese fries they are now smothered in salt... 900 calories for the cheese steak... 870 calories for the cheese fries.....I THINK I AM GOING TO DIE.... Excerpt taken from the web: Running and diet. Running does not increase appetite. In fact,exercise tends to diminish it, acting as a suppressant. "For better running, watch what you eat and when you eat it," is the advice of the Running with George web page. Runners pay close attention to their diets, as most runners try to maintain a balanced diet that is low in fat. What part of bullsh-t is this.
