Body Wars

I've been running with Chase the last three days (well, walk-running) and it's amazing to see how fast my body adapts. The first day I ran 1/3-1/2 and walked the rest (alternating). Yesterday I ran about half, and today I ran 2/3. YAY!!!!!! Soon I should be able to run 1/2 way without taking a break, hopefully.

Such a snarky brat, he is.

But now everything hurts :( My legs hurt in weird places that they never hurt during track season. I don't know if I ran poorly then or am doing so now. Or if it's just because the terrain is different. Or if it's something I'm doing/not doing in yoga. *shrugs* My abs are killing me, especially my obliques, thanks to my 300 crunches routine that Morgan taught me back when she and Deborah and I were going to the gym together. My arms, sadly, are actually fine. I think it's because the heaviest hand weights we have are 5lb and I need 7.5lbs.

I love that the more I exercise, the less junk I want to eat. I don't generally crave junk food anyway, I just eat it becase it I'm bored and it's something to do. Now when I'm bored and I stand in front of the fridge I think I am so not hungry right now and if I eat that it's just more weight I have to haul around the block tomorrow.

I did make pizza though! Homemade whole wheat pizza with spinach, pesto, and fresh tomatoes. It was also supposed to have feta but I forgot...oh well. Good for my mama, who's watching her cholesterol: 0mg cholesterol and 2g fat. And very filling, we each only had one piece.

And for dessert? Key Lime Pie yogurt! Another tasty Yoplait flavor that I adore.
