Oh the things that are bothering me.....

Well well....I have a few things that are bothering me today. Indeed. So here I go....

Let's start off with my 10 mile run. To sum it up, it was NOT a hard run AT ALL. I enjoyed it. What I did not enjoy was the outcome of it. It was the longest, slowest, lowest calorie burn EVER. It is truly upsetting. Seriously. Bothering me so very much. It turned out to be 2 mins per mile SLOWER then my last 10 miler or for that fact then ANY run I ever have had. Took me 13 mins LONGER (so SLOWER) then my longest 10 miler. As well as I burned 400 calories LESS then my last (which is also my lowest) 10 miler. Seriously?!!? I have no idea what happened. Thing is I am upset with my self and any LITTLE bit of confidence I had about my running has been thrown out the window. All because of THIS run.

I had bought some energy bars couple weeks ago to try out (quite a few!!!) and I am keeping those to try during my 13 milers. SO I cna figure out what would work best for my marathon training and marathon itself. YESTERDAY I was @ the store and the store had clearance on some Larabar's, Powerbar gels, and Clif gels. Mostly the Lara bars (which were .50 and I got 11). Well I brought one today JUST IN CASE but did NOT want to use it. Heck I didn't need it, I have run 10 milers before with nothing like that so why would I. Well....5 miles into it I was FINE but my HUNGER hit me and I felt like uh ya....low blood sugar...hunger...running...I am going to eat 1/3 of it. Just to fight off hunger. Well swell choice because it worked. The part that is bugging me....is the fact that I did that 2 more times to finish the bar. 2 miles after the first bite and then 2 miles after that too. Why? I do not know!! The thought of I want to make sure I keep a little carb's in me so that I do not wait til it is too late crossed my mind BUT I did not NEED it! So why would I eat it!! Just made it worse when I consumed it and then later saw how little I burned on my run...compared to every other run EVER. Like seriously my 5 miles during the week burn almost the same amount as I did TODAY for DOUBLE the mileage of 10 miles! So not only did I consume the bar when I did not feel like I needed it, but I consumed it when I burned so little and almost basically just ate what I burned.

Sticking to "running" topic. I asked my mother to be inconvenienced for 30 mins from 630-700. (Thinking I would not run as slow as I did or they would wake EARLIER) come to find out when I walk in the door @  730. SHE was sound asleep and my boys were awake BY THEMSELF from 615-730!!!! Are you ^&*%ing kidding me!!??? I am so sorry for the language but I asked for you to be awake and just keep eye out for 30 friggin minutes...and you let them take care of themselves for ONE HOUR & FIFTEEN MINUTES?!!!! OMG what could have happened!??! I am fuming and upset. She woke little bit ago and asked how my run went...Really? You do nto even care that my children YOUR GRANDCHILDREN could have HURT themselves while you stayed sound asleep letting them be ALONE!??! Ah!!!!!

On another note of what is bothering Jodymarie TODAY...is....I was going to sign up for 2 1/2 marathons yesterday FINALLY after eye balling them for EVER...come to find out the 1/2 you need to be SHUTTLED by bus. That is the ONLY way you can get there since there is no parking to public or blah blah blah. ONE I do not like that idea of having to drive somewhere and having to be bussed and wait to get back..and TWO (most importantly!!) NOONE other then myself can go!! They will not shuttle my family...the idea of NOT having my family (my son's!!) there when I can help it is not acceptable! I NEED to do 1/2's though!!! Why does the only company that are doing 1/2's have to do that?!! What the !!!!!!

There has and is probably a few other things bothering me today but I am so caught up with these things that right now I can not see past them...

Besides the dead beat ROOMMATE of mine...but that is a whole other bull-crapped issue there!

That is all folks!
XOXOXO
