So I guess 3 miles is the new norm for me.  I mapped out a loop in my neighborhood and my friend and I ran it last night.  It seemed like a L  —- O —- N —- G  3 miles, and it took us about 45 minutes.  I was sore since i had just come from playing volleyball.. not so good on the knees.  But I was able to keep up with her the whole time.  It’s weird…. I’m definitely more athletic than she, but she is a better runner.  Plus she’s about 50lbs lighter and she’s been running about a year longer than I have.  But the other day when we ran, she was quite a number of paces ahead of me on the last mile.  Last night, I lagged behind once but then caught up with her and stayed with her the whole time.  Until she pushed it at the very end… I let her go.  I was WORN out!

Eating has been a tad better this week.  Although this weekend was an eatout FEST!!   It was all fast food on Saturday - breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Ugh.   We were out and about all day.   We went to the beach in the morning, then we went wakeboarding with some friends in the afternoon.   I was hungry yesterday when I got back from my run b/c I had all of 2 or 3 bites of a meatball sub and a bunch of green beans for dinner (before volleyball) but I ate a few chunks of watermelon and called it a night.  I REALLY REALLY wanted to jump in my car and go get something, but I resisted b/c I knew that would blow what i just accomplished with the run!
