Not Fast Enough

Today's Running Goal: One mile fast
Accomplished: One mile in 10:08
Damn that eight seconds. I was able to run outside this time, but I was running into a pretty strong wind half the time. I always have an excuse don't I? There was some uphills and some downhill sand a three second break at a stop light (I hit pause). I guess I have room for improvement, but I really thought that I would be able to run a mile in ten minutes. Knowing that I don't have to run any more than that should get me there a lot faster, but it turns out my legs and lungs just won't let me go that fast.

I'm worried that I ruined a perfect eating weekend tonight. Jennifer called at the last minute and invited me over for dinner. Well I had already eaten quite a few calories for the day and was planning my short run and then a light snack. But I wanted to spend some time with her on her birthday. So I made sure to get my run in and then headed over to her house to join them for dinner. I didn't do too horribly; I ate a light salad and just a few bites of steak. But I had three glasses of wine, some bread and four mini-peanut butter cups. Oh, I didn't mention that I had to go to a pancake feed for breakfast (at my mom's church). I ate three pancakes but had light syrup. Hopefully I can be down a few pounds tomorrow morning. I did so well the rest of the week!
