Hump Day

It was hard to roll out of bed today - like any day! A good run with Christy, Jenny, Elyse and Jill. We got to hear all about Elyse's recent saga in her professional life and on the other end of the spectrum we heard about Jill's recent saga in the Mosh Pit at the Buck Cherry concert. Who says this small town doesn't have much diversity!

Unfortunately Jill, Elyse and I were too busy talking because we let the speed demons lead. No wait, that wasn't it. Elyse had to tie her shoe. It wasn't that we are slow. Nope. Those darn shoes!

Studies

I read the following with interest:

A recent British study involving a small number of chocoholics found that the simple act of walking reduced cravings for this cocoa derived delight. Walking briskly for 15 minutes not only reduced the blood pressure of study participants, but it reduced their cravings as well.

Hmmm... I think the trick to walking to reduce chocolate cravings is the fact that they were walking AWAY from the chocolate. "just walk away, just walk away, just walk away".

A good run this morning with Katie, Jenny and Christy. Elyse is out with a cold, so don't worry Jill, you didn't miss hearing any of the latest in the school drama. I know you will be relieved. Something to get you through the day after the Buck Cherry concert last night. I know we will all have to talk louder during our runs so you can hear us.
