Of couse, I'm the only one left fasting 24 hours later.  He said he couldn't concentrate, was lightheaded, and  admitted being weak and not being able to handle it. The big baby poo-poo head (althought I really was worried he'd have a seizure or something).  So, even though I was doing it only to support his purposes--I am self-obligated to finish what I start.  I said I'd go 2 days.  I will go 2 days--even if it's pointless.  So I'm still fasting.  I took my miles really slowly today 9:22 av.  I was going to run 8 this morning-- but cut back a bit because I'm going to give Saturday my best shot for 17.  Catherine called-- 3 weeks into physical therapy --and wants to try and do the long run with me on Sat.  I had planned to maybe go up to the JRP to run with the girls up there.  But I have not seen Catherine since June and I miss her.  So, here I am weak and feeling stupid that I must finish my fast because of my own dumb rules about finishing what I start--even though the purpose was not my own.  I can't wait for Saturday--though, I'm not looking forward to those long-long runs in the next few weeks.

Hi there!! Fasting and running, that sounds impossible. What are you running Sat.? Good luck my dear on the fast and race!

I wanted to run the JRP with you guys--I need 17 this Saturday, but my friend called and asked if we could stay closer to home since she's nursing a recovered tendon. And yes, fasting and running is a stupid combo. But I am having some calories from the maple syrup that's in the concoction. I was just doing it because my friend was feeling really lousy, and asked me about doing a 'cleanse'. I really did think it would benefit him and shock him a little into reevaluating his relationship to his mortality/food/health. And he was interested, so I was doing it to be supportive. But look whose reevaluating their mortality now! Anyay, I wouldn't suggest running while doing it ever. I just have more fat stores than most people so it's ok for me.

Luz - trust me on this. You don't have a heck of a lot of fat stores. You just think you do.

Hey, help me out here. I was supportive when you were trying not to buy delicious things at the store last night!

(hanging my head in shame) - I am being supportive - just don't want you to think of yourself as being fat. I think we as women are all too hard on ourselves, while men are just babies and poo poo heads (or something like that).

Go Luz! Fast Away!

Hey - don't forget to contact me if you want database assistance!

Hope the fast is going fast for ya. You're a finisher for sure!!! WAY TO get out there and run with no food. Jeepers!

Have fun with Catherine on your 17. You're such a great supportive friend!

Hope you're eating now that the cleanse is OVER!
