BUSY WEEKEND, TURKEY TROT, CRAVINGS.....

How does it always work out that on weekends that I don't have to work I am the busiest? Just once in a while I would like to be able to relax, ya know!! Oh well, you know what hey say, idle hands are the devils workshop.

I signed up for the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning today, woohoo! This is my first 10K race since the 80's, man I am getting old. The last 10K I ran in was down river in Allen Park. I don't have any lofty goals other than finishing in less than 60 minutes. I continue to get a kick out of the reaction I get from people when I tell them about races like this. "Why on earth do you want to get up so early and run in what will probably cold weather?" They wouldn't understand!!!

I am still getting some pretty severe craving on a daily basis. They don't seem to be getting any worse, but they aren't dimishing either. The only reason I can figure for this recent outbreak is the fact they I haven't been running as much. Running was a huge motivator for me when I quit, because I knew that if I smoked I wouldn't run, and I HAD to run.

Have a fantastic weekend!
