What Not To Eat


Recently, on my way to run I start to get really nauseous and my stomach starts to hurt. I always chalk it up as whatever I last ate...even when I wait for my food to settle for hours.

So I figured I would do some research and see if I am eating the wrong food before my runs.

The first thing google pops up....
Can you imagine? Makes me sick to look at it.

Rain makes me inSANE



It's been a rainy mess here for 4 days now. One more day....just one and hopefully it's all over. It never rains here and when it does...people flip out. Apparently this is the biggest rain storm California has had in 25 years. It took me 3.5 hours to get home from school last night. Flooding, freeways closed, wrecks...idiots everywhere. The news is showing people determined to kayak in the ocean...idiotic. I was about to pull my hair out everytime my eyes saw 5 mph. It's not only rainy as hell, but it's windy as Amarillo. Poor Romeo has serious cabin fever.
So my run was forced to take place at the good 'ol gym today. I don't know how I made it to 5, by the grace of God. I hate that damn treadmill. Although, you do see some characters...not that you don't see them at the beach. Check out this chic I spotted while I was stretching. The hair!!! WTF? Repulsive.
I have the house all to myself for 5 days...I honestly haven't been lonely like this in quite some time. I was kind of excited to be able to walk from the shower to my room, naked...but it's very quiet here.

Running North

Forced myself to run today. Juggling school and this training is proving to be quite the challenge, which I expected.
I just couldn't go my same route but the beach has to be on the horizon. I headed north from Newport to Huntington Beach Pier...but didn't quite make it to the pier. My breathing was off and I think I was dehydrated...ugh...it was just all wrong...so I didn't make my goal of 7 or 8...only hit 6 miles. Tomorrow I have to be well prepared. I have decided to start jotting down my thoughts, sights, scenes, after each run. This is going to be a fun 3 weeks. I swear I am going to start blogging regularly. Trying as hard as possible to keep this training somewhat interesting.
-Very tan bum
-douche bag cyclists
-firepits in the sand
-bbq er's
-RV's
-Pugs and even a puggle!
-"Babes Rentals" every mile
-Beach cruisers
-Jealousy toward the fast rollerbladers
-dreamed up my new wall scape for the living room
-extra gum
-ipod skipping at mile 5...didn't know ipods skipped
-dehydration

My heel is in a little pain. It has been much, much worse so I am not complaining but I have to keep up my exercises.

TGIF doesn't apply to me anymore....weekends are where the real work happens.
