I am always hungry

I love the fact that I have three programs running on my home computer right now and I am able to go back and forth between them, scroll, and actually use them all without the three hour wait it would normally take to type a letter while using dial up. I LOVE TECHNOLOGY! Only when it is working for me, and not against me. For the most part it works against me. Well, I think it's just my lack of knowledge-inanimate objects can't DO anything unless you program it...oooooh robots!
Ever get a new piece of machinery at home or at work and refuse to read the 300 page manual that comes with it? No matter if it is a new cell phone or a giant copy machine that has 14 compartments and 250 different colored buttons that beep at you "no, no, no, no, no" every time you touch one of them out of sequence. Anyway, you challenge yourself-"I know how to do this. How hard could it possibly be?" Oh, mere mortal, it would have taken less time to sit on the beach (including the plane trip to the beach) sipping on a Colata and reading, in detail, the entire manual than it would to try to figure out the dang contraption yourself.
I guess that's a bit of an exaggeration. I can usually figure things out given the time.
Every runner I have ever known (2) has told me: I run because I eat, I eat because I run. SO TRUE! I LOVE FOOD! And, thank goodness, I enjoy running. I knew that when I started training I would lose weight rather quickly because I upped my miles from 10-12 a week to 17-25 a week. That's a lot of mileage so you better believe I have lost 3 pounds in just two weeks. Yeah, 3 pounds is not much, but when you have to pack in the carbs during the day so you can maintain a good pace for over 3 miles and up, 3 pounds is a lot. And that is just the first 2 weeks of training. As with my last training schedule 8 months ago, I will lose the weight but most likely gain it back in a few weeks after the marathon. I'll forget to stop eating so much, but once I get back on track it will just be a maintaining situation. I'm good with that.
I need to start weight training again. It's just difficult to keep everything on track-running, weight training, eating, sleeping, working, trying to have a life. Yeah, that last one is going to quickly dwindle within the next couple of weeks, so I better do what I can and love now while I have the time and energy.
I lost my train of thought-did I have one? I need to get my dads birthday present together so he can actually use it when he opens it up in a few days. Which reminds me, I need to go to the liquor store...well, my sister needs to take me anyway!

Ciao!
