Diary: March 16, 2010 (DAY 6)

Today was a pretty good day. My energy level was up which was awesome since I had so much work to do. My muscles feel MUCH better today.

I managed to eat pretty healthy today, but dinner went awry...as in, I didn't have any. It turns out that Buca di Beppo's small serving that supposedly serves 3 only serves one adult, one 5 year old, and one 1 year old. Um, yeah, that left me without dinner. I just couldn't bring myself to spend MORE money on MORE dinner after that.

My run tonight was good, really good. My muscles responded and my breathing/asthma didn't get out of control. I felt that I *could* do more, but I've done that before and injured myself, so I only increased the intensity a little (for now).

And as a side note, I feel generally out of shape, but tonight The Beast (aka my 50 pound Boxer that tears my arm off with the leash) made me feel better when I had to practically drag her for the last 1/2 mile. Apparently I am not the only one in this house that's out of shape. Dog, you are going to have to step up the pace...you aren't even 2 years old yet...get it together, woman!
