off day for xt

Today is an off day and when I woke up I found out why he has us xt every other day.  It is because I was surprisingly sore.  My hips were sore and my back is sore.  The first step out of bed I felt like I was 100years old.  I was moaning and squinting and holding on to things for the first 5-6 steps.  And I was famished!  I hate eating breakfast.  I have never enjoyed breakfast foods and generally my tummy gets upset if I eat any earlier than an hour after I get up.  Not today though, I got out of bed hungry and went right to work on oatmeal.  Hearty, yummy and good for you.  I am not complaining about the stiffness and soreness.  It doesn't bother me too much but I can tell I should not run today.  So I will do some kind of strength training today although I have not a clue what I will do at this point. I am so looking forward to running on Thursday with a friend I have not ever before had join me in a run.  She may end up being a key motivator in this journey. So it is almost lunch time and I am not hungry but I have been drinking more water than I normally do at this time of day.  All of these are good signs that my body is starting to adjust to our new lifestyle.  This could be the most exciting thing that has happened yet.  Only because if my body adjusts it will be easier to continue on this journey long after Vegas.  I think I have become to companioned with running to ever give it up or stop.  what a shocker!!
