Well hello!!!! It’s Thursday and I would say the day has started out great but the day is almost over. I took yesterday off as it was obvious to me when I woke up on Wednesday that it was needed. I relaxed most of the day today too until about 4 o’clock when i decided it was time to get my workout in for the day. I felt like I had a lot of energy when I went out today, it was still quite hot but every now and the i would get some cloud cover from the Sun. I knew at about 2.5 miles that I would do more than 3 miles today. I ended up doing a couple over that for 5 miles today and I think I am kind of starting to get used to the heat a little. I am feeling like I can do more everyday and I love the feeling. I still haven’t been able to conquer this minor insomnia (that’s what I will call it) at all so I just go to sleep when I feel like it. Last night was a little past 2 am again but I have a feeling the 5 miles today may have me sleeping like a baby in a few hours. I’m starting to wonder about races in the future. There is a month until the Marine Corps (which I am not sure I will be ready for but I’m already signed up) and I know there will be plenty of events in south Florida coming up through the end of the year and the beginning of next. I’m just thinking for now and I will see how well I come along here over the short term. It will all work out.

On another note I think I have found my place to go when I want something not totally on my diet. I found a little Colombian place last night because if I had eaten another celery stalk last night I was going to grow roots. I pulled into a parking spot in front of Subway, to go there, and this place was staring me right in the face. I can’t even remember the name of it right now but I will be going back for sure. I went in and the lady began speaking to me in Spanish then I told her my Spanish wasn’t to good and I think she figured it was good enough and kept speaking it to me. So I ended up getting some really good food (I can’t remember what it’s called but I remember where it is in the menu) all of which was not necessarily supposed to be in my diet but I figured if I am going to go off it from now on, it will be a place like that I will go to. Who am I kidding, it will be that place. It was small, quiet, and just to my liking. The food also did not make me feel like I did something wrong after I ate it. Well I figured I would tell on myself so there, I did it. I’ll give it a month then maybe I will go back.

Well I feel the soreness in my legs coming on, time to go use my foam roll. Until tomorrow.
