Sunday and this week so far

I did my ten miles again on Sunday, and did it faster than the previous Sunday. Sure, by only a few minutes, but that counts! Next week is another ten, then I start increasing again until the half marathon. I feel totally confident in my ability to do this, which makes me so happy!

Food intake has sucked for the last couple of days. And I go to the gym tonight. Maybe the scale will be back to shock me into eating better. Although, it's funny, the 2500 calories on Sunday felt like nothing, and I totally am not guilty about eating all that, but the 1900 calories on Monday seemed like way too much and I know I should have done better. It's all about the rest of the day. Everything has a place.

I went and visited a school librarian today who has worked at overseas schools. I just wanted to get some perspective. She totally inspired me. In addition to having travelled all over the place she was totally confident and impressive in her job, and fit and energetic. She just had her second child and there wasn't any extra baby fat on her, either. I hope when I'm forty I have that confidence and maybe some of that health. :-) She also made me feel a little better about the Bolivia job. I'm even more excited than I was, and a lot less worried! Yay!

On a side note, the weather has been getting better which means I've been wearing my capri running pants. This last time I went running I noticed about halfway through that they were feeling lose. My first thought was that I didn't realize I had lost enough around my waist for pants to be noticeably smaller. Then, as the sensation became more obvious I realized that the knot in the drawstring had managed to untie itself and that my pants weren't loose, they were falling down. Oops. I've since convinced myself that no one else noticed. I think.
