Tonight...well, tonight did not go as planned.
Why, you ask. It's a kind of funny and slightly gross story. I have been trying to find a suitable beer battered fish recipe for months (if you know one please email me) and thought I would test one out tonight. Review: If I was being generous I would say it was bland and heavy. The photo below is NOT what our dish looked like. I waited 1.5 hours before deciding to get my training in for the day.
Wednesday's call for speed training. The speed training consists of quarter mile splits run in 2-2:25 minutes. Tonight I needed to run 7 of them. After 4 splits I felt like my failed fish and chips were going to make a reappearance. I had a horrifying flash of me cleaning the treadmill while it was still going. I stopped running at that point.
While I was traveling for work I used to talk to my dad almost every night about my training. I was struggling with a grueling work schedule to get my runs in. One night, I told my dad how I had just finished dinner and was going to hit the treadmill. He told me then that I should always run before I eat. He said that I wouldn't get a good run in if I ate first. To a reasonable person this seems to be common sense. Apparently, I am not a reasonable person.
To all the both reasonable and unreasonable people that aspire to move their tushies a little faster one day, I hope you enjoyed my dad's words of wisdom. As for me, I am going to get my runs in during the day and I'm planning on reading an extremely boring book before bed. Suggestions?

Try the phone book! You might find a restaurant with good beer battered fish!
Hi Laura! I'm not sure if you're opposed to a little "self help", but I actually have a horrible time trying to stay asleep, and my doctor recommended melatonin. Your body creates it anyway, the supplement just boosts it a bit.
By the way, Oola is Jessica Handlos.
Laura,
Thanks for the post and the words of wisdom. I second that. It is in my experience better to run before you eat, always. Also.. I second melatonin. I've struggled with sleeping at night for years now and melatonin is the only thing that doesn't leave me groggy the next morning.
<3 you.
Laura,
I was having a hard time sleeping, to the point were I had to call into work from being worn down. Not tired just worn down. After a few people told me I should try Melatonin, I finally picked up a bottle of 5mg pills. It worked! slept the whole night through and woke up feeling well rested. Good luck. Love and miss you tone!!!
