#running issues

What a great way to start a Saturday. 2mi in the track at the YMCA. I am finding that the hardest thing about starting back to running indoors at the track is getting your timing back down when you can fart and not gross the other people on the track out. Best case you get the nice long gap when you hit the curve and see no one and can relax, but if you can't and you are going to pass gas near someone you have a dilemma. I mean do you crop dust the 75 year olds who probably have lost the sense of smell and won't notice, the young kids who will just giggle, or do you slow down and give a weird look in a group and try to pass the blame. Who'd a thunk running could have so many questions...

Uggg so I've been doing the Couch 2 5k trainer and the last two runs have been awful. I think I did something to my foot because it still hurts when I walk. And my knees were acting up. I think I need a few more days off running so I doubt I'll finish the week on time. Any brilliant advice for foot issues? I did ice it this morning and it's better in shoes, but bare foot is not great.

The past 2-3 weeks have been incredibly awful foodwise. My head is in the right place, lifting is going good, but running and food are just... ugh... I need to get running back in my schedule. And I need to get the food thing under some kinda control cuz eating almost a kilo of chocolate covered almonds in 24hrs simply isn't good. I wanna run that half in September and prep needs to start NOW. And I NEED to lose that extra fluff as much as I WANT to. Problem is getting to the bottom of this infinite pit of crazy hungerless hunger monster...

Griff is having me set goals for my run tomorrow: I want to run 2.0 miles, and I will take 3 walking breaks only. At .5, 1.0, and 1.5. I want to run it in between a 22 and a 23 minute mile. Hopefully setting goals like this will help.

happened today when I went for a run. The temperature in miami has been cooler than normal so I felt like going for a run. After a mile and 8.5 minutes (pretty fast for me) I felt a crazy amount of pressure everywhere from my ear,head and chest. I felt slightly nauseated and had to stop. I've had a pretty heavy cough since and my parents just said I'm probably coming down with a cold. It felt verrry strange though. And now I feel like a quitter for not finishing the run. (I did sprint to the car though)

Do you know how much dirty laundry that adds up to???
