with Wagon!
I've been walking along side the wagon...occasionally going for a short ride -- then quickly hopping off for all the wrong reasons. Slowly getting back to my routine. Can't find all my favorite foods -- if you can believe it. It is shocking how few light foods are here. Lt bread is difficult to find. I use to buy lt english muffins, bread and buns. There is little to no options here.
We live about a half mile from a gourmet grocery store -- that is now our favorite place to go. I think you can imagine the trouble that may be.
signing out.......Lucy

Wagon?
Wagon? What wagon? Forget what direction it is going, where is it!
I have big fat ZEROES on almost every day of my mile chart for Oct. All I do (besides my usual life of kids, carpooling, and working) is Halloween Planning. Put on a H"ween Party, and gain 5 lbs, b/c you have no time to shop or cook. Lots of subs and eating out!
But the end is in sight - the party is this next weekend (and it is going to be awesome). Then I can refocus. I am fully concious that this is not the right answer - that "the program" needed to stay the priority. But something had to give, and once again, that was it. Time to ponder later. And in the meantime try not to be too sloppy.
I have to get up at 3:30 am to head in to NY tmrw morning. Why can't work ever be the thing to "give?" LOL!!

Checking In
I'm trying to get back in the groove...so I'm using all my resources! I'm about 50/50 on my commitment level. But slowly am getting back to what I need to be doing.
Just for reference...I want to up date you on my progress. I have completed 861/1000 of my miles for the year! As long as I keep up some reasonable running miles I should have no problem hitting my goal. Also I was tracking my running miles separately on my half marathon training. I completed 260 miles in training. Probably short a few based on my slacking off at the end -- but a good guide for what is needed for prep! Kind of crazy when you think about it.....train 260 miles -- run 13.1! Who knew!
Found my soon to be WW meeting center this weekend! And found my most coveted food product in Houston...my Joseph Lavash Flatbread. Only place in the entire city that carries it is Walmart! Yuck -- but I'll go there for it -- it is a must have!
Jodie -- if you are out there....please come back and tell us how you ate doing!

DONE
After sitting at a
soccer game yesterday while it was hailing and freezing, I was not too happy to
note that it was 34 when I headed out this a.m. to do my last long run (10
m). I have been soooo crabby
(particularly at Doug – who is gone for the weekend, and of course it is his
fault that my exercise schedule is all messed up – I was supposed to run
yesterday. It had nothing to do with the
storm going on). I have been in such a
rut (gee, again).
And Lucy you will be happy to know that I spoke with Becca, and she said it is GORGEOUS in Houston! No humidity this time of year (which I don't think is the same definition as we know, but still nice!)

Mile Update!
Sharing the end of Aug update . . . 729/1000! If I am calculating properly, end Aug should be at 732 so I am right on track!!
A little nervous what to do after the half this month . . . but I will figure that out when I get there! Just biked 8 miles in the dark. I don't recommend it. I did 6 this a.m., but didn't have enough time to do it all so planned on putting a few more in later. Then I had to unexpectedly do the football carpool, and the boys were delayed so we did not get home until 7, then had to eat as a family so before you know it, the sun is setting this time of year! Mostly I was on a trail, and I had a light, but it is still a little freaky.
But I did it! The sweat dripping down my back is evidence. So Sept so far is on track!
BTW, while in Chicago I saw an ad for a Lucy+Ethel show. Is this a play or musical? Have you heard about it? I will have to look it up and advise. I wonder if it is in NY! We will have to plan a date!
