Well, Emily Ward, you got your way. I'm taking some time off, but not because I am smart and listening to you, but because I'm actually quite stupid.
No, I didn't hurt myself running.
Yes, much like the rest of my life, my reckless diet has betrayed me.
Last night after the "workout," I inflamed Dave and my tastebuds by talking about McDonald's. In previous week, Mike Smith had done the same to me but we hadn't followed up on it.
Well, I woke up several times that night with paralyzing indigestion. What in the world is this? Am I an adult? I need Tums! I have none! Ugh.
Needless to say, my plan to run to work ended up like many of my morning run schemes.
I spent most of the day acknowledging what I ignored before- I shouldn't be eating fast food. If I am serious about losing weight and running efficiently, I need to cut out the worthless foods I eat.
"Anyone who's ever built an empire cowered in the floor in pain where you are right now."
So, I will take today off. Depending on how I feel, I may take tomorrow off, too. Then when I am back in gear, it's time to eat for nutrition, not expedience.

Charlie - I love your posts, but I think you need to sit down and develop a long term and short term plan here. You have to stop running yourself into the ground (from all angles!).
ReplyDeleteBTW...I have been considering starting a blog, too. You are my main inspiration.
