Crunch time!

We are less than 4 weeks until Vegas .... whoa! I'm starting to get super excited, but nervous too because I'm not just going to Las Vegas to hang out .... I have to RUN 13.1 miles! I've vowed to try and eat better and really be good this next month until the race, because up until now I've continued to eat like crap. I just love snacks too much ... I'm so guilty of eating ice cream for dinner, lots of cereal, and packing my lunch for work that is similar to a pre-schoolers. Seriously ... everyone makes fun of me because I eat Kid Cuisines, Lunchables, and bring stuff like string cheese and pudding cups to work. I can't help it ... I just love that stuff. Kid Cuisine with the corn dog, french fries, and chocolate pudding with sprinkles is my favorite! (It has corn too ... but I pass on that ... HA!). Not saying I won't continue to eat that stuff, but I'm really trying to not pack 9 extra snacks into my lunch box. So far this week I've only been halfway successful ... I've eaten better for the main course of my lunch, but I bought some Halloween candy on sale this weekend and I've been chowing down. I'm typically not very successful with this kind of stuff, especially when it comes to limiting what I eat! :)

This weekend we are running 11 miles .... oh gosh! It's been rainy and nasty here today because of Ida, so I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill. I decided that I needed to push myself a bit more, and put a time limit on my 5 miles tonight. I did it and actually felt pretty good and accomplished. I tend to struggle for the first 2-3 miles of any of my runs ... and after that I seem to get this second wind and do pretty well. I hope it's the same this weekend for 11 miles!!!

Even though I've met my fundraising minimum (thanks again!!), I am still continuing to fundraise to help find a cure for Crohn's and Colitis! Be sure to visit my website!
