December 16th

I feel good about the way things are going in my life. With all the negativity and drama going on in the world right now I have to stop and realize just how good I have it. I was in a steaming hot shower the other day when all of a sudden I thought how great that shower was. It was 10 degrees below zero outside and I was so comfortable in that shower I didn't want it to end. I realized that for a short moment I was living in the moment and not thinking about the future. When I shower I start planning my day and I don't live in the moment. That was the best shower I have ever had. I am starting to heal up from the Vegas Marathon. Last week I walked a couple days on the treadmill for a total of 4 miles. This week I have only walked, I might try running some today. I have been sleeping more than normal which I need for my recovery. I want to get in 1000 miles of running for the year. I have 935 in, so I should be able to meet my goal. Starting the 4th of January I am cutting out refined sugar and all chips from my diet for 30 days. This includes candy, pastries, sweetened cereals, anything with to much added sugar and all chips. I am using this as an experiment for the class I teach at work to see what each individual goes through during the 30 days. Remember to train smart so you can run consistently. Just Run
