Today was weird. Everyone was in a grumpy/ weird mood. It all started on the hike when I couldn't get my mind to communicate with my legs and I was slow but then I got into it and went farther into this hike then I did last year. I completed the whole hike, including the "dragon's back" part and the final incline. The photo is of me, Lindsay and our friend Daniel on the top by the part they call the vortex. We could not go down in it this week as it was full of rain - maybe next week. The other photo is of me a
nd my friend from Alaska Robert. He is a 56 year old retired navy guy and so nice to me and Lindsay. He is the one that rented the car and drives us to the movies and shopping. He is losing a ton of weight and feeling great - I think I have lost some weight - I noticed my ankles this morning :)

The photo is of yesterday's dinner - amazing!!! They are teaching us to leave a morsel of food at each meal to get use to not overeating. We are continually be taught that food is fuel and nothing else. So many of us talked about how it is love. We love to cook, eat and spend time with our families eating but I will not be eating as much now as I am learning that it takes 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your head t
hat it is full so if I eat slower than I will not eat as much. Still get the love and the fuel needed but not overdoing it.

I also loved going and playing tennis - totally loved being outside and smashing the ball back and forth.
Tonight I realized that we are 2 months to the Chicago marathon. This Saturday we are running our 29km long run in preparation. I am really looking forward to it to test how fast and how long it will take me. Got to get to bed as I have not really slept again this year - argggggg.
