you get out of it what you put into it

Good for you! I am a total slacker. I meant to run, but I slept in yesterday thinking I would run after work. Then my son had a "behavioral crisis" in the afternoon that crushed my plans for the rest of the day.

That's a speedy mile you did there. I had no idea it was National Running Day. But I ran, so I guess it's all good.

glad you were able to celebrate national running day. great split on a full stomach...i wish i could do that.

I would throw up if I ran that hard with food in my stomach. I'll call you Iron Woman from now on. I have a friend who participated in law enforcement torch run here; she ran five miles with a police escort! And, she was on the news! How cool is that.

Oh KP, you are a Southern Gal, that is for sure, for whom Krispy Creme is a State food (along with anything deep fried, veggies, pickles, just about anything ;-))

You rock.

Nice pace on a full belly. I think that pace with a stomach full of food would cause severe problems for me.

You're really keeping active with running and swimming.

Thank you for the heads up on Friday...I'll be stopping by the KK for a treat :-)

krispy kreme and running....was there ever a better combination?

i seem to run on a full stomach a lot. you'll notice that i don't skip meals... i love to eat too much! i really do think y'all could do it too; just give it a try. my "full stomach" consisted of a cheeseburger with mustard, chips and mexican cheese dip, pudding, lays chips, and a reese cup. yes... it was quite the variety. most every "meal" i eat is.

bonnie - you are absolutely correct. i LOVE fried foods! i have a friend that moved to huntsville from green bay about 3.5 years ago. she runs more now than she ever did, yet she has gained 30 lbs. she blames it on the fried foods. everything down here is fried, and every function you attend is centered around food.

QP - the swimming is just for fun. i try to spend quite a bit of time at the pool over the summer. while you're out running (what i should be doing) i'm soaking up the sun.

john - i couldn't agree more. you going to do the krispy kreme challenge this year?? i'd actually like to try it. i think.

Oh sweet heaven!! Friday is national doughnut day?!? All my stress just left my body knowing that I'll get to eat doughnuts tomorrow!!! Thanks KP, you truly are the greatest!

Oh, and nice job on the speedy run. We may have to re-evaluate our .2 race...especially with you getting speedy and me eating 50 doughnuts on Friday :)

I'd have to take a couple of stops in the woods after a meal like that. Sign me up!

My mom is from Mississippi but I grew up in Arizona, never knew I was eating southern food until I moved to Houston and started getting the same thing in restaurants. She couldn't make donuts like KK though. I think if you run to the shop, order one and run back then repeat, you could do round trips all day with no damage.

I didn't know about national running day but I did know about the donut day. I guess I know where my priorities are now!

You are doing a great job of getting miles in this week! I like how you run a few miles here and there and then by the end of the day you have a substantial total. Thanks for the heads of on national doughnut day!

Whoa look at the speedy mile. I think you can hit a sub 7 min mile with some speed training.

Well sounds like I better go get a doughnut :)

Get out and run!

In Utah we have these big chocolate donuts from a place called Dunford Donuts. They are a little (big) slice from heaven, especially if they are warm. Only problem is they have 500 cals a piece. Yep. I think I'll go have one.

Have a great weekend.

NOOOO...are they really 500 calories each? You know that was the doughnut I had this morning! Who in the world can pass up a dunford chocolate on chocolate doughnut? Especially on National Doughnut day?!? I guess maybe it's a good thing I didn't buy 2 like I was planning :)

HOW do you limit yourself to just one? oh my! let me just say that i have had A LOT more than one donut today... a whole lot more. they are certainly worth it in my opinion. i'm running a race tomorrow; the calories will burn off :)

I had to go to the gas station (where you buy the Dunford Doughnuts) and I only bought one. That is how I have to do it! If they were sitting in front of me (or I'd have bought a dozen) I would've eaten them all. This is what happened when I bought a dozen last weekend from KK :)

500 calories? That's only about 5 or 6 miles per donut :)

Rad- Yep, sorry to say 500 Cals. I looked it up and it bummed me out for a while too. I used to eat a lot of those. Hey, you can buy a whole box of them at Costco. DO IT!! :)

Glad I skipped out on the doughnut and got ice cream instead!

KP----great job on the FAST full belly mile, very impressive!

Have you ever run the Kripie Kreme challenge race? You get to down a dozen of that mid run. You will be great at that, doing both things you love at the same time!

You make me laugh!! :)

That was a fast mile!!! You deserved that icecream sandwich!

How are you? Why no posts?

mmmmmmmmmmm.....doooooonuuuuuts (Said in my best homer simpson voice)
