A new day a new way to do the walking.  Today was a walk only day.  I slept right through my friend at my door.  Seriously, never heard a thing.  Oops, I really must have been tired.  So I waited until we were ready to go to soccer practice.  We went early and we all went walking together.  My oldest is not used to doing this since we do it in the morning.  She started complaining about 5 minutes into the walk.  That did make it harder than usual.  She stopped a lot and went slower so I did not get the complete workout I normally would have.  For this reason I went longer.  I think this will give me more incentive to go in the morning.  I may do a bit of running in the basement tonight.  There is a debate I am looking forward to watching and so I will most likely run in place while watching.  I am going to need to go to the store and get an insert to put into my right shoe to help the over pronate. This way my foot wont hurt too much.  I cant wait until we run the 5k.  It is only a few weeks away and I am so looking forward to finishing THIS step in my journey.  I am reading a fabulous book right now and it is on CD and I think I will be able to concentrate on it when running.  So I may download the book and listen when I am out.  I think it will give me a push to be out more and go farther, then again maybe that isn't a good thing.  I went grocery shopping today and bought healthier things to eat.  I am pretty good at knowing what things we should and shouldn't be eating.  I am a pretty good cook and used to make my own bread and noodles and other things that are healthier.  I cant do these things anymore - Energy- and so the items I bought are healthy but easier.  We are going to have Tilapia with tahini sauce, ham and potato soup, basil chicken over whole wheat angel hair pasta,Ground turkey casserole etc...Don't those sound yummy.  Any other good recipes that we might like are always welcome.  Change things up a bit.  The weather is so fabulous and cool.  It was probably 58 when we went walking tonight.  And the leaves are turning and it is getting so wonderfully perfect outside.  I wish this would last for a long time but I know it will change all too soon.  Have a good one....Bye

I have a great recipe for minestrone (not sure if that is how you spell it) soup that I just learned how to make from a friend here and I have a great one for beef veggy soup I will email them to you. October is totally soup month! I was reading the tips you learned about running in your last post and wanted to add that you need to pace your breathing I like to breathe in every three steps and out the next three... not sure if you knew that one but those other tips are right on! Good Luck and I am rooting for you!
