Went in for an Oil Change...

came out with four new tires.

We're leaving in one week for the lake. It's nice to know that we have fresh oil and a little thing called "tread."

My run today sucked because I didn't have breakfast before I spontaneously decided to get brand new tires and upon waiting over an hour ate 2 too many Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. My heart rate was through the roof and I couldn't get it down. It doesn't help that I've been running on my toes lately. This is a low impact style that is easily converted into a sprint. It actually makes you work harder with out the joint stress. So... basically I'm back to panting.

I can actually feel myself loosing weight through out the day after my runs and have cut back my frequency of trips to the gym. I would like to move up to running five times a week again, but for now I'm afraid of getting sick if I go too often. This new run is kicking my ass! I love it!!

Did I mention we're going to the lake in a week? That place makes me so happy. It's so serene in the cold months. The dogs will go too. That's a different kind of serene - two adults, two kids, two dogs. I'm going to try to remember to jog.
