It's hard to believe that the race is coming up so soon. While I've been cheating by running more miles than I should, I still feel as though I'm going to be out of shape. Funny how that works: I've been racing for ages, and I still haven't learned.
Friday and Saturday were my first days working at the running store. It was easy to jump back in to fitting people, but I'm worried that I may become too burnt out. Also, I started working there to support my running habit, but since I'm only working on Saturdays and most races are on Saturdays, I have to choose between the two. My plan is to wait it out for a few months, see how it goes, and request off whenever I want. I'm trying to remember the following: I am the one who decides to feel stressed out. So if I'm stressing, I need to make changes to fix it. No one else can do it for me.

After asking the Boss at work if he had any words of wisdom for me - he simply replied...

That is all :-).
I haven't really reached for any preservative-laden foods lately. I'm also spending a crapload keeping all fresh fruits and foods around, but it's getting better now that I know how much I really need to keep around.
Here's an average activity/consumption day:
Wake up
-hot lemon water
Post morning workout/Shower
-larabar, banana
Drive into work
-Ezekiel 4:9 toast with organic peanut butter
1st "break" at work
-shortcut carrots, baby spinach, celery, broccoli cuts (whatever I threw in the bag - usually gallon sized and snacked upon over the course of 2 days)
1st lunch
-steamed spinach and broccoli with flaxseed oil and apple cider vinegar dressing
2nd lunch
-edamame soybeans (whole bag)and usually a good fat snack like avocado, sliced in half, sprinkled with lemon and a touch of salt
Afternoon "Slump" (2ish)
Clif bar or alternate "pick me up" bar
On the way to the gym
-1 or 2 small apples
Post-workout
Stir fried or steamed vegetables with brown rice
Snack (if I'm not bursting already)
