Why I run

For inquiring minds, Thursday's run happened, my legs were tired, and I didn't get hit by any cars. The important part of Thursday's run: LAST RUN BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY!!!

So, I run for a lot of reasons. I run because it makes me happy - lots of good endorphins. I run because it keeps me in shape. I run because I want to accomplish a goal. I run because I get to buy and wear cool running clothes. I run because Mike loves running with me. I also run because it burns calories. That comes very in handy for birthday week.

Mike and I typically eat pretty good. Lots of veggies, fruit, chicken breast, whole wheat. And while that can be good, I would choose brownies over any of that any day. So, being that its my birthday week (and I get to do whatever I want), I did. Here is a little summary of what I have had to eat this week:

Sunday: McDonalds. Fillet-o-fish are on sale because it is Lent. I love Lent.

Monday: I actually ate good-for-you things on Monday!

Tuesday: I ate good-for-you things on Tuesday, too!

Wednesday: German sausage sandwich for lunch. Our neighbor's leftover spaghetti for dinner. Brownie sundae for dessert.

Thursday: Brownies for breakfast. Taco bell for dinner. mmm.

Friday: Chevy's for lunch. We will go to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. Then popcorn and candy. Then ultimate brownie sundae (Mike gave me an entire box of ridiculous toppings for my birthday including gummy worms, sweedish fish, peanut m&ms, and sprinkles - he's pretty awesome).

Saturday: Whatever it takes to keep me from passing out. 15 miler Saturday. Kickin' ass.
