Too much junk food

I went nuts with the junk food last night, probably cancelling out my entire run for Thursday morning. I sure to love the sweets though. I still have leftover candy from Easter. There is nothing finer than Easter candy.

6 A.M. !?

Thought we might try our run before work instead of after, so I was up at 6 A.M. this morning, a time usually foreign to me (I dislike mornings), especially when I can't yet see the sun on the horizon.
We picked a doozy of a morning to try it out. It was unduly cold and quite windy. A man ran past us on the path, his hands wrapped up in his long sleeves...I feel ya, buddy.
I forgot to get a picture. I'm pretty sure I was grouchy about the experience. I'm thinking we hold off on the morning run until it warms up a little.

My knees are happy campers

When I started pre-training for the LLS run about 5 or so weeks ago, hoping my lungs and muscles remembered the days I was a runner, sometime during the George Bush administration (that's G.B. Sr., mind you). However, my legs were also lugging around a frame that was probably 70lbs lighter. Needless to say, my knees felt the brunt of it.
Then I bit the bullet and bought new shoes ideal for long-distance running. I never thought it would make such a difference. Thank you Asics! (if this were a movie that would be my product placement.)
The pre-training is 3 days a week and going strong. Piece of cake really.
