throughth3wallchallenge

i am participating in a keep fit over the winter challenge. its being run by iron wil who i am totally loving right now. i discovered her blog a month or so ago and got totally sucked into her account of her experience with ironman. so i signed up for the challenge, only days after talking about how a food log is a bad idea for me since i eat so much crap all the time. well, having a public log is much more effective then putting it in excel or somewhere where no one would ever look. as a result i have managed to realy curb the poopy chocolate consumption. i'll tell you what will really curb it will be when all the kids are all potty trained and go poopy in the potty because that is part of life and not going poopy in the potty just for some chocolate. eric brings home the big 1/2 pound bars ALL the time. he did before there was any potty training to be had but back then i was never tempted. now its totally pavlovian for me, any time a kid poops, i need some chocolate, too.
i have been sick and having the insomnia all week. tylonol pm is my new friend, but i was able to fall asleep on my own last night. i contribute my insomnia to a several things, because it hit about this same time last year, too. its either the time of year, work or my cloggs.
today i ran a 10k race. i wasn't sure what to expect. i did as well as i was hoping to - hit my goal, not my super stretch goal but my goal which was good. a few times i was thinking that maybe i should just stop. but i kept going and even managed to run the 6th mile in 7:15 which i was pretty suprised by! i am exhausted now though, partially because of the race and partially because we walked the two miles to the race, then i warmed up for about 1.5 miles then we walked the two miles home, UP HILL.
now i've got seamus on my lap, she is not wanting to take a nap but she really really needs to.
oh, we are heading to hawaii here pretty soon, which is pretty exhausting, too, but exciting none the less.
