A new leaf? As in Turning over

June 25, 2011 Saturday

Everyday is a new shot at life and so is later on the same day.  Decided to make some changes. I would run first thing when I got up. I finally got up at 11:30 am. Couldn't put getting up off any longer.

10 minute warmup run then ran along the seawalk for my kilometer repeats. (I like the seawalk as it has marked off kilometers). Who would have suspected that there would be a garage sale right in the middle of my kilometer!  The first K I just sort of paused and kept going - 5.56/K.  The next kilometer I stopped , put a few books aside, paused watch, continued on - 5:49/K. Third repeat I tried not to look as I passed, but now the smell of grilled hotdogs and onions was really getting to me, so I spent that kilometer planning my lunch at the garage sale after my run. 5:56/K. Last kilometer I debated the whole time about the hotdog. Gave myself permission to eat it and then decided I really didn't need it as I could have something healthy and nourishing at home. 5:44/K. Finished with easy run then back to garage sale to pick up my books - no hotdog.
