Yesterday, I ate too much food at our potluck and as a result, I not only used all of my daily points, I used up the remaining four weekly points I had left. At lunch! Which means that I had no points left for dinner or for my nightly Whole Fruit Lime Bar. That was clearly unacceptable. I had to run to earn my dinner.
I went to the park about 8:15 last night and man, what a great night to run. It was BARELY 80 degrees (thank you Mr. Cold Front!) and the sun down behind the trees again. The sky was this incredible pink that you only see in movies titled Barely Legal Volume X. I was jamming Rancid in the headphones and enjoying the scenery. It was a tough run, but I did approximately two miles (it’s tough to get a correct read on the trails because the marker posts are down and the google map hack isn’t entirely correct on this one). The time was 23:30 for the whole run…not too shabby for someone who couldn’t walk up ONE flight of stairs without getting winded three months ago.
I earned enough to eat a three point dinner (romaine salad with half a pouch of garlic tuna) and my Whole Fruit Lime bar.
Fridays start my new weekly allotment of points, so it’s good eats tonight. Laurie wants to go out to dinner to celebrate her new job, so I’ll probably have to run a fucking marathon this weekend to make up for it.
