Full Moon Good Friday

COMMUTE 9.2 miles

Full moon today at 6:12am but it was cloudy so no moon sighting. What I saw yesterday on the way to the run more than made up for it.

WasGonna ride LP loops this morning but wasn't feeling it. Between being a bit tired and it being only 40-some degrees outside. And also a very light rain, on top of a post-rain pavement. It's my rest day, I should rest. Right?

Yesterday was first day NSNG and No Monster. Which I should just call NSNGNM or No-SGM or something like that. Funny thing, the urge is still lingering (will always be I guess) but it's so easy to override right now. What dictates that? Last night had a few strong tempts in the Last Time category, but no problem.

Went shopping last night, I'm off shopping schedule this past 2-3 weeks going random in small buys, and I'm back to my old ways for the most part. Chicken breast instead of thighs this time, and I'll limit to only 1 egg yolk a day for now. Otherwise, pork rinds and parm cheese last night for dinner!

I'm also happy to say that since my last bowl of oatmeal on Wednesay, my gut has been great. Weds was a long pained morning. No mas.

Today I didn't bring lunch (had BIG brekkie) and was tempted to go to the salad bar. But what could I get there? No cottage cheese, no black beans, and I'm not going to pay $8/lb for veg and raisins. Well all things considered, I've been paying that all along....

This weekend -- can't work Saturday because they are cleaning the floors, so my weekend just opened up a bit. Long run tomorrow, maybe a 10-13 mile hike in Lost Valley. Then ride Sunday with or without a run depending on what I do Saturday. Lots of yard and community garden goals. And the Blues play Saturday, I'd like to ask about watching or listening together but I don't have the guts to do so.

Listening to Ten Junk Miles again, think it's safe to do since I'm running. And now I'm all jazzed up for races. I want to run ALL the races. But I'm hoping for Dusk2Dawn 6 hour, Shawnee Hills 50K, Mark Twain 50M, and 24 The Hard Way. I would have bet $$ that I saw MT50 on the webpage, but now I'm only seeing info about a trail summit that same day. Did I mess up. Thought for sure I saw notes about the park permit being approved!?

I'm now 19 days in to a no-news clean up. No news podcasts or web sites. Only some reddit. And what a slice of life that provides! I don't care so much about the Mueller Report released yesterday, so if that's what's going on, I'm not missing much.
