It’s race day … or in this case, race night. Start times are flip-flopped from am to pm in our attempt to beat the heat. Wondering what will happen for this 13.1? It’s been about 3 months since I even did 10 miles, but I have been doing those sprints.

I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me ~ Phillipians 4:13

So, race day weigh in is right at my  goal when I started my jog log. I wanted to get to 170 and this morning I am at 170.5. Life lesson #34 – don’t worry over the “.5” things in your life. Celebrate the big picture!

The Big Picture!

Today’s Meals:

• 7:30am – 2 fried eggs and 3 strips of Morning Star bacon
• 10:30am – Thai Che — just look at the picture if you’re not familiar, but I have to warn you, you are going to want one. Cococut milk, basil seed, coconut meat, and pandan jelly. Our friends called me this morning and asked if I could come over … it was to deliver this. They are the best! Thanks Sarina!

Had a 1/2 cup of a watermelon, mozzarella, and basil salad. Good, but not feeling it. Found more fresh watermelon. Eventually settled on a 1/2 bag of Sun Chips Original flavor. That salt is exactly what I needed and hit the spot.
