Ramblings

Monday: ran 10 miles in American Fork Canyon and almost stepped on a rattlesnake.  When they say these snakes can blend in to their surroundings, they ain't just a-kidding!  I don't know what got my heart racing faster--the run or the snake!

Tuesday: hiked to the top of Timp.  It's been a while and I didn't have much else going on so what the heck.  Should have started earlier, but still had a good time.  Lots of flowers up in the meadow.  It's perty this time of year up there.



Wednesday: back to work, but Happy Birthday to me!  Daughter #2 took me to lunch and daughter #1 took me to dinner.  I think I went significantly over my calorie limit.

Saturday: Sogonapmit Marathon.  Did much better than I though I would.  I actually enjoyed myself and I think I can attribute much of that to the workouts I've been going through with McCade.  The first half is all up.  The second half you just retrace your footsteps back down.  Ended up with a negative split by 15 minutes!

It really was a good week, but you'd have been hard pressed to convince me.  I wasn't eating as well as I needed to--above and beyond the birthday stuff--and my mind likes to play games with me anyways.  Woe is me, woe is me.  Seriously, sometimes I'd really like to just smack myself up the side of the head.  I'm starting to realize how much of an emotional eater I have been (and still can be).

  1. Sure glad that the snake didn't strike you. Look's like Timp was a good idea thanks for sharing the pictures. If you had a great Birthday with your Daughters it was all worth it. We all have our ups and downs and that most likely will never end. We just need to concentrate on the good. Sounds like your doing just fine.
