alright. i have not been very good since i've been back... an ulcer & stomach issues have proven to be quite detrimental to eating almost anything but bread & saltines. i also have not been running or working out quite as frequently due to the severity of my school work & working full time & actually needing to sleep.
so, today i started again. my stomach seems to be back in working order, and hopefully i'll be back with the raw diet, or at least mostly raw, starting now. i do miss all my crazy smoothies & juices & all that good stuff. this morning i had oatmeal & a coffee, and i'm drinking juice for lunch: 2 carrots, 2 cucumbers, 3 key limes & an orange. A friend suggested JUST cucumbers & carrots, but to be totally honest with you, I just couldn't drink it. The key limes make it quite tart(left over from a key lime pie I made the other day), but it was better than carrots...
to be continued..

disney weekend
disney weekend went pretty well, despite snow, sleet & freezing rain (which virtually never happens in florida). the weather ran me down, and i finished in 3:12:07. not too shabby for my first try, a half marathon in february(maybe 2?), a triathlon in may, and a FULL marathon in october.. i'm hooked.
i'm still dealing with this ulcer/food allergy thing - i think i may have developed an allergy to NUTS and the worst possible allergy of all, HUMMUS (only one of my favorite foods). i'm trying to eat no dairy, no soy, no gluten, etc. to sort of purge my system : but to continue with my raw diet, nuts is a large part, so i'm not sure where this will go. i'm hoping if i just lay off certain foods for a little while, they will correct themselves.

disney weekend is here!!
The weekend I have been training for since August is here! I'm leaving tomorrow at 1pm to go to Disney World in Orlando for the weekend to run my first half marathon. I went to go pick up my race packet today & really started to feel the magic(cheesy, I know). I am SO excited!!
On another note, I got what I think is an ulcer(I was in the hospital last year over night because of one). It hurts when I eat anything, which poses a problem because I do need to eat before I run without being doubled over in , pain like I normally am about 30 minutes after ingestion. I went to the doctor today to get checked out, picked up a prescription, and next week I will having some minor surgery(an endoscopy) to find out what's going on in there. Hopefully, nothing that serious...
Either way, not going to let it stop me from running, and again, thank you so much to everyone for donating!! I will be thinking of you all when I'm running on Saturday. Oh, and I've decided to run the FULL nike women's marathon in San Francisco in October!! Looking forward to updating everyone about my weekend on Monday!!

new years
happy new year everyone. my friend, tym, shared this with me, & i thought i'd share it here:
"a new years benediction" by neil gaiman
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books, and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art. Write, or draw, or build, or sing, or live, as only you can.
May your coming year be a wonderful thing, in which you dream both dangerously and outrageously. I hope you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it; that you will be loved, and you will be liked; and you will have people to love and to like in return. And most importantly, because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now, I hope that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind. And I hope that somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
on another note, i have not eaten raw, or well, for that matter, over the holidays, and have put on a few pounds(not something i'm pleased with). nor have i really been keeping up with my running(thank you snow). i'm a little nervous about being able to run my 13 miles next saturday at the big race(only a week away!!!) because of lack of keeping up with it. i'll do a little training when i get home, but nothing too strenuous so i don't hurt myself. i'll be back on board my regular eating habits & lifestyle once i land in florida monday night.
