Long time no see

I've been sick non stop.  I've also been travelling a lot, so lots of on the go, and not as much working out as normal.  I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.  I'm trying to run more, and build that up so that my ankles are strong.  No more injuries.  I'm trying to eat better too.  I also want to become a better cook.  I'm a terrible cook.  Oh now, baking....hells yes I can bake, but other stuff, blech. 

Igor sent me this meal plan that he wants me to follow for 10 days, but I don't think that is possible.  It has 6 meals in it, and it's sit down stuff that I can't eat during the day while at work and on the go, or foods I don't like (such as nuts, oranges, or kiwis).  It also has a shake in it, but I have no idea what kind of shake to have for it.  I don't know what to do, or how I am supposed to follow it. Now I feel even more stressed out about that.  Actually, it kind of makes me feel like crying because I feel like I've already failed before I even started.  [Today in general was a really stressful day.]  I wanted to start tomorrow and make that day one, but I think I'm going to have to talk to him about it and see what kind of options we have.  Plus there were only two days, and I can't eat the exact same things like that for 10 days.  I will go crazy.

I can comfortably run a 10:30 mile right now.  I plan on building off of that.  I would like to speed that up even more after a while, but more importantly is to get really comfortable at that speed, and then continue to go for longer periods of time.  That's what I want right now out of running. 

That's a general update about me right now.  Life as always, is super busy, and I feel like I'm spinning in a million different directions.  In general I do feel happier, and I hope that sticks.  I don't like bouncing back and forth between highs and lows.

Instead of successes and setbacks, today I want to pick something out that I'm looking forward too.  I'm looking forward to running my best 5k ever this summer.  I'm looking forward to cooking food that ends up tasting delicious.
