Today has not started out so well. First I should tell you that yesterday I was SO hungry! It was like all that running on Saturday finally caught up to me. On Sunday I was barely hungry, but yesterday was a whole other story. I almost felt faint and weak at one point. It was really strange. Unfortunately I didn’t prepare for hunger like this and tried to get the best snacks I could. I just felt like I couldn’t get full. It was really frustrating.
Last night for dinner I just did a pizza with veggies and a small bowl of low fat ice cream. Sorry no pics-I was too involved in House and Lie To Me and totally forgot.
As for today-I wanted to start out on a good foot and do an 8 mile run I had scheduled, but by mile 2 I was having major stomach problems and had to walk home. I hate when that happens. Then when I got home I decided to start reading my packet for this weekends 1/2 marathon. Yes, thats right, I said PACKET! It is really overwhelming when you get a packet of information to read for a race you are running. There are 1,500 people signed up for the half marathon and 500 people on the wait list. INSANE! Anyways, as I was reading the rules and regulations I came across the Prohibited Items and “no musical devices of any kind” was listed. NO say it isn’t so! I need my iPod. You don’t understand! Music is the ONLY thing that helps keep me pumped up and going while I’m running. My heart just sank when I read that.
Now I have NO idea what I am going to do. I know there will be a lot of people to pump me up and cheering, but nothing helps me keep going like my iPod and music. I am so incredibly bummed right now. I’m discouraged, worried, nervous, and upset all at the same time. I was already nervous about this race to begin with because it is such a HUGE event, but now that I can’t wear my iPod for 13 miles. Lets just say I’m freaking out!
I’m trying to make the best of this morning so I’m going to do some stretched, watch some much needed Gossip Girl on DVR and have some coffee out of a new mug I found.
Be back lata.
