Pounding the pavement

So another day of exercise comes and goes. I added another walking partner to my group which is great because then hopefully someone will always be able to go with me.  Tuesday we pounded out 4.13 mi of steep hills and graduated hills, Wednesday was another 4.1 mi also of hills, some of them different, and today ended up being about 4.96 mi of walking and jogging up hills. I tried to keep up with, or rather, outdo CB because I just can't stand to have someone beat me unless I know there is no hope. I'm a realist. I have no dilusions of grandeur when it comes to my abilities. So far I'm doing well considering the fact that I generally get shin splints. Thing 3 is hopefully coming to expect our little outings. There has been less crying at least less crying all at once. I don't feel much different as far as the lbs or inches are concerned. I will, however, change my ticker to reflect my current weight. I don't know if my starting weight was wrong or not but I guess I'll take it. I realize, though, why it is important not to weigh yourself everyday. I look at myself after each run and think, "hey, Porker! what's going on?" The scale has stayed pretty constant until this morning when it said two pounds higher. I blame the Chipotle's burrito that I ate the other day. My body must be saving some for later. That better stop!
I've been having cold food cravings lately. I have been wanting popsicles like mad. Question? How many popsicles does it take to totally negate my run? Whatever the answer, I probably ate that many.
Yay for running tallies! This week so far has been my best. 13.19 miles so far and at least one more day to go! I guess it's strange that I'm almost excited to go walking! That's what having companions does for you! Yay for motivation!
