March 11, 2009 - 2 miles (and random thoughts)

It seems to be the re-occuring theme for me....run two miles...wait a week...run two miles...wait another week...
Last night I was motivated but had no accountability. Tonight I chatted online with Beth and there it was, accountability. I told Beth to check my blog because I was going to run after the kids went to bed. And I did (although it was tempting to stay in bed with William and fall asleep like I did last night. He's so cute!). But I had told both kids I was going to say goodnight and go run. Hey, they can be accountability partners too!
I finally finished watching "Hitch" during my last run so I've now moved on to "Raising Helen". After the two miles I walked a quarter mile to cool down.
Tonight was also our Lenten service so we didn't get to homework until later and thus bed time was later as was running. Plus, I putzed around updating our family calendar before running too.
Before church, the kids and I ate at McDonald's. I had the fried fish sandwich and fries. Do you know that McDonald's puts a nutrition label on the box!!!!! Look, I already know that the food is bad for me. Why do I need confirmation staring me in the face?!?!? Oh well. I do love fried fish. Although as far as fast food goes I prefer the Wendy's version over McDonald's. Although Wendy's doesn't come close to Haegan's (sp?) by Beth's house! Mmmmm....now I want more fish.
In other random, non-running news, the check engine light came on again in Roxy (my Pontiac Vibe). We just paid $500 for a new catalytic converter in January! That, and the fact that she burns a quart of oil every two weeks, makes me think Roxy's ready for retirement. Problem is, she's not paid off yet and we just bought a new car in October. Tell me again, why was I so anxious for my own car in high school and college? I really should get going on this whole running thing. I may be running to work!
