All day today I have been hungry. I have no idea why. I even woke up early and ate a complete nutritious breakfast because I wanted to not be hungry all day.
All day I have also been cold. I was cold at work as I was backing up folders and staring at the freezing rain that slowly turned to snow. Even my space heater wasn't warming me up. Tonight I have been cold and hungry despite turning up the heat in the house and throwing on David's fleece. What normally would have filled me for dinner did not.
I have this serious craving for a beer or some ice cream, neither of which are currently in the house.
The ice and cold outdoors totally defeated me. I just can't bring myself to get outside in that crap tonight. No need to fall on my ass this far into training.
Speaking of feeling cold and hungry and falling on one's ass I had a fall out with some friends this week. A lot of little things kind of snow balled and I let it take over. Su probably put it more eloquently than I could. While I am still worried about her (If you didn't hear she is training for an Ironman in June, so I am not worried about her mental health or anything, just the good kind of I don't want to see my friend hurt kind of worrying) I am glad that we discussed our issues and will work through them to remain good friends.
Tomorrow I hope to get up early and get in some miles. To be completely honest I was worried about all that mileage this week anyways. I think I would have had over 40 miles after Sundays long run and I haven't run over 30 a week lately so I want to be careful upping it. I should hit 33-38 even if I cut it a bit short tomorrow.
Tonight I almost won Catan but sadly R beat me one turn before I was going to win. Grrr!
No workouts of any sort today, sorting through emotions and backing up a hard drive do take a lot out of you though!

Glad you could work things out with Su.
I'll save some beer for you.
Things will get better!! Don't beat yourself up!! Take one step at a time and you'll be doing 40 mile weeks in no time!!
All I can offer is words of support .....
Hey life throws me the curve balls at times and it can really get me down .... after working through these times, I come out better for it and I'm sure you will too.
This weather is flat-out dangerous...not worth wiping out, especially before Y-Town! Curl up near a fire...and have some ice cream, too! hee hee :)
Cold and hungry just makes everything seem so much worse, doesn't it? I find a hot bath followed by hot cocoa spiked with Bailey's works pretty well! then lots of fleece and a few layers of blankets seem to do the trick.
Hope things work out all around...and thanks for reminding me that I should do some clean up and back up too!! Happy Weekend!!
Glad to hear you can work things out with your friend. Hope you have a great weekend. Have fun in Y-town.
Yay for you guys patching things up! I thought I felt a rift in the time-space continuum (sp?).
It is amazing how much better one can feel after a good talk. Glad to hear it!
I thought beer and ice cream were just my cravings...unfortunately (or fortunately??!!), I let myself indulge in both this week!
i get the cold and hungry thing every once in a while too. i usually equate it to training hard and the body being really worn down. get some rest, fuel up and take a nice hot bath.
oh, and beer and ice cream? those sure are odd pregnancy cravings...
So awesome you gals worked things out right away, it's not worth being mad at each other forever.
Beer and ice cream, hmmmm sounds like a good plan for a Friday!
If more people just talked things through like you guys are doing, the world would probably be a much happier place!
Beer and ice cream..i never thought of that before. Thanks girl.
I always have craving for beer..that's just normal :)
I'm with Jeff on this one. Do you suppose...?
A cup of hot or warm ginger red (black) tea warm you up right away! Try it and you will be amazed!
A nice hot relaxing bubble bath is in order. I am glad you are working it out w/your friend. Friendships like any other relationships take work. You obviously care about eachother enough to put in the effort and energy. Take it easy. Have a nice relaxing (warm) weekend!
i LOVE kings of convenience!!! happy to see it on your video this week!
i hope you're finding a warm and happily fed medium soon - feel better!
happy weekend,
anne
When I start craving stuff, it usually means I'm not eating enough for my energy expenditure. Shelley had a great post on that recently... you should check it out.
I hate being cold!!!! But not as much as I hate being too hot. You can only take so much off... but you can always put more on :)
I'm with Cliff, that's gotta be some sort of new ice cream float - ice cream and beer. :)
That's a deadly combination - cold, hunger and cravings for beer and ice cream. Hope you survived. ;)
No beer OR ice cream in the house?? That sounds like a problem!
I would send you some warm weather but ours seems to have left us!!
