today, regis & kelley, ellen, dr. phil, oprah, ent. 2nite...

i have not been able to pull myself away from the TV this past week. i have so much work to do, so i really shouldn't be watching anything. but i feel a lot less stressed than i normally would, so i think the TV is the way to put the work out of my mind and relax a bit. today, however, i need to make sure the TV stays OFF. it is saturday, and i'm not into sports, so i should be ok.

i have to leave in an hour to go meet lucy for the NTELOS 8K. i have barely been able to run regularly since coming back from india because of my hip and then i pulled a muscle in my calf. i have very low expectations for this race also bc it is 40 degrees outside-- a bit too chilly for me. i think i will wear running tights and a long sleeve cotton t-shirt. i'm also worried i did not eat a good breakfast: pumpkin bread, soy milk, blueberries and cottage cheese.

i'd really like to do some more races this year. but it is such a fine balance between running and injury lately. i might shell out a few bucks and go to a sports medicine clinic to finally get this hip issue corrected. after this race i am going to get on track with a steady program-- i'm turning into a couch/cubicle potato.
