Weird, cold makes me hit the wall! Hope you feel better.
This is why the runs here for the Galloway club start so early. We do 3.4.5.6.7.8.9 (or something to that effect) then the rest are all 10s. A 10 mile for me is at least 2 hours and by 9AM here in August it's at least in the 80s. If I decide to go for broke and train for a full, it would be 18s.
They provide water stops and such too, I think.
On week 2 of no alcohol. I will admit that we broke on our anniversary (last Friday) and had a few glasses of red wine and probably went over calories. We butchered up a whole filet mignon from Sam's into 2 thick steaks (and a bunch of smaller ones for the freezer), grilled and topped with lump crabmeat, served wth bleu cheese mashed and corn on the cob. I also approximated the old-style mussell appetizer from Le Cellier, which is chowder style with bacon and shallots and cream. Substituted ff half and half for the cream. It was all really good, and I am glad we stayed in rather than going out. He brought me 12 red roses, as well, which I am not usually a flower kind of girl but it was a nice surprise.
However, other than that, no alcohol and been on track food wise. This week starts back the exercise regime. Gym bag packed and ready in car.
