5.75 Miles

This week went well. I procrastinated running until later in the week, but I still got all my miles in. I did 2 on Thursday and 3.75 on Saturday. It was kind of funny, on my run today there was a motorcyclist who waved at me. I was holding my iPhone with my right hand, the hand I use to wave back. Anyway, when I went to wave back, I meant to put up my ring finger and middle finger so I could keep a hold of my phone, but I accidentally just waved with my middle finger. So I totally flipped him off. OOOPS!

Being off sugar is a lot easier now. Once it's out of your system, you don't crave it so much. In fact, I don't think I could do the whole once a month or once per week sugar day, since it would put all that sugar back in my system and I would go through the sugar withdrawals all over again. No thanks.

As my wife and I left to go on our date a few nights ago, my mom offered me a chocolate bar. Then she remembered I am off sugar. Instead of saying something like, "Oh, never mind," she said, "Do you want it anyway? It can be a splurge." Geez! I said no, of course, but it sure doesn't help when your own mom is trying to get you to break your resolve. She means well:)

My running and eating healthier is paying off. I run with a heart rate monitor, which requires me to have a heart rate strap around my chest. Well, during my run on Thursday that chest strap was so loose that it fell off my chest and down to my stomach. So I had to tighten it quite a bit.

Well, next week I'm doing 6. Hopefully I don't save it all for two days like I did this week. I think it'd be a lot easier to do 2 Monday, Wednesday, Friday, but we'll see how it goes.
