Off Course

Life is out-seriousing me.

I haven't been to the gym in almost a week (first my period whallopped me, and then the second bridal shower kept me from the gym for 3 days as well as making food logging a challenge/utterly depressing).  I ate Dunkin Donut Cinnamon Sugar Munchkins. I ate Eggplant Rollatini with Ricotta. I ate cake. I ate a NYC everything bagel (got walnut/raisin cream cheese and didn't like it, so I scraped it all off).

So with 10 days left in my 100 (miles) in September challenge, I'm way behind.  I've completed 51 miles. I need to run 5 miles every day until the end of the month, with only 1 day of wiggle room. This means, it'd behoove me to double up and do 10m (~16k) on the weekend. 

However, this weekend I'm scheduled to travel this weekend as well.  I did the only thing I could -- asked the person I'm supposed to visit if she has guest passes to her gym. I figured it was worth asking about versus stressing out.  Luckily she was able to accomodate the request.  This is a huge relief.

This morning I woke up late. I didn't get to the gym.
I haven't eaten lunch (unless you consider a spoonful of peanut butter lunch).

I need to get back into the swing of things. I was doing so well there for a while.
I will not feel like a failure. I'll just acknowledge this as all part of the struggle.
