The Garmin broke. A button fell off. I can't start the timer without a pin. I emailed the Garmin company and am awaiting the response of their customer service department. It's only about a month old, so I am not pleased.
It was 5 degrees when I started my run. I was supposed to go 5 miles on a tempo run but only went 4. I can't really blame that on the weather. It's not like I was completely freezing. I just wasn't feeling it. I was already in a bad mood because the Garmin was busted, and was just suffering from an overall bad attitude. I'm not sure if I'm getting sick as well. Last night my stomach wasn't doing too well, but I thought that was because I spent part of day in the air on the way home from New Mexico. So those are all of my excuses...Tomorrow is an easy 4 mile run.
In good news, we got a crock pot. Bill made some fantastic soup for dinner, and we have plenty to freeze and eat later! This is a good thing for me. I've been a little (or a lot) out of control with my eating. Hopefully the crock pot will provide some new, fun, and healthy options. I realized this weekend that I've put on some weight. I don't weigh myself often, so I'm not sure if this has just been very gradual or what. Doesn't matter, need to get it under control. And I will! When I get back to work next week, I can get into a healthy routine. Of course, it's a little easier when the holidays are over. I know how much better I feel what I eat what I should be eating; I need to keep reminding myself of this when I am tempted to eat ridiculous amounts of junk food. I have cut back significantly on soda recently, and I know that's made a big difference in how I feel--maybe because it forces me to drink more water and Crystal Light instead. I also don't take in nearly as much caffeine as I used to. When I do have caffeine now, it's almost like taking speed. I'm all over the place. It's not a bad tool to have in my arsenal for when I can't get going or need to motivate myself for a run.
