Today was my long run, I didn’t get to run yesterday because my schedule was messed up.  The plan was 9 miles, which I knew I wasn’t going to be able to complete because of time constraints.   From the get go I just didn’t have the energy I needed. I felt like the run was lasting forever and I was only able to complete 2.5 miles in 33 minutes.  To save face I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. After all, my journey is not specifically tied to running but also to toning up my body.

While I was doing the elliptical I was watching the latest Turbo Jam(now it is Turbo Fire) series. I did turbo jam a few years back and it is energizing, the music is awesome making you come back for more. I figured tonight I can do the dvd I have at home(turbo fatblast),  but this morning I had no luck locating it. I was thinking of finding some of the new rocking ones on ebay and get back into it. I figured they can supplement some strength training days, since I see the trainer only twice a week (30 min sessions). 

The soda habit is fighting strong. I drank about 30 oz. of soda at my desk. :/ It’s like habitual. I don’t even think about it. I like the way the soda bubbles in my iced glass. I am not as fond of the taste as i used to be, but that still hasn’t stopped me. I know I should quit cold turkey but I don’t think that is possible. I was watching strange addictions a few weeks ago and there was a girl that drank a crazy amount of soda cans a day, it may have been 30 cans or so a day. And they had to ween her slowly off the caffeine, granted my addiction isn’t to that extent maybe I am just making excuses. :/
