Day 81

Yesterday was a good day.

I woke up a bit cranky, though, and needed a few hours to get my head on straight. I had some fruit salad for breakfat (finishing off the remaining fruit salad from Sunday's dinner), and a can of soup for lunch (I can't believe how good that damn Chunky chicken gumbo remains to this day), and went out for Japanese food for dinner (the chicken teriyaki bowl was top-flight, but the shrimp tempura roll wasn't that good).

During the day, I got the urge to snack twice, and satisfied it with a popcorn cake and a bunch of grapes.

I also got in my run yesterday, and for the first time increased my run to 1 3/4 miles from 1 1/2 miles.

I have pretty well mastered the fatigue I used to feel right after starting the run. I am able to hit a stride and not immediately feel like quitting. But the internal debate about adding the 1/4 mile to the run begins almost instantly. That said, I pulled it off, deciding to add the 1/4 mile at the last minute but not really feeling much different when the run was over. Well, not feeling worse, that is. I did feel pretty good about myself having run that far.

Anyway, that was the day that was. Now, some facts:

So that was yesterday. Today will hopefully be a pretty routine day. I do have therapy today, which I always enjoy.
