That’s happened to me only once.\u00a0 Normally I can finish a book out no matter how much I hate it or the characters, although there I have been times where I’ve stopped just because I couldn’t get into the book.\u00a0 However, Twilight, is the most craptastic piece of drivel I’ve ever read with horrible characters.\u00a0 I was able to finish the first two books but could not read anymore of the series for fear my head would explode from all of the bad.<\/p>\n
Under the Dome<\/em>, I’m close to being about 200 pages in and while some of the characters (most of them) are dolts, I’m still able to push through alright.<\/p>\n I got up this morning and headed out for what I was hoping would be a longish run. I wanted to crank out at least 6-7 miles this morning but that was not happening.\u00a0 It was 31 degrees out which was warm but still below freezing.\u00a0 It was also misting out which meant that everything was covered in a thin layer of ice, including the roads.\u00a0 Because it was such a thin layer I couldn’t wear my YakTrax but it was enough ice to make things miserable and difficult.\u00a0 I managed a 3.5 mile run and had to turn in and come home.\u00a0 It was just too risky to do more and with cars slipping and sliding everywhere, I could not justify trying to do more miles.\u00a0 I was really cranky about it too.<\/p>\n In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a big deal but you know how it goes when you want to run, run, and run but can’t for whatever reason.\u00a0 Meh.<\/p>\n The upside is that being 31 degrees I only had to wear one pair of pants and a running hoodie, wooo! My HRM<\/abbr> has been acting goofy lately, it bottoms out.\u00a0 I don’t get the Flashing-Double-Zeros-Of-Death but in the middle of my run it will suddenly tell me that my HR<\/abbr> is like 80.\u00a0 Then in a little while it will jump back up to a normal reading.\u00a0 Clearly this is not proper behavior and even though my endurance is up and my heart is stronger, I can in no way pull off an 80 HR<\/abbr> in the middle of a run! \u00a0 So what is the deal?\u00a0 Is the signal getting lost some how?\u00a0 Do I need to clean it better?\u00a0 I love my little HRM<\/abbr> so I need to know how to take care of it!<\/p>\n Breakfast was fun! And yummy, but I don’t have a picture for you because pictures would have looked neither fun or yummy.\u00a0 I made some pumpkin chocolate oatbran!\u00a0 And since I can’t take a picture of dark foods to save my soul, I spared you have to view my breakfast.\u00a0 It was regular oatbran with about 1\/2C pumpkin and 1TBSP unsweetened cocoa mixed in.\u00a0 Delish!<\/p>\n Smoothie today was very pretty and very tasty.<\/p>\n Oh yes we\u00a0 sampled some of the famed Maca powder<\/a> the Mayans loved.\u00a0 This was given to me by the fabbo LG<\/a> and I finally remembered to pull it out and try it!<\/p>\n Here is a slice of convo Scott and I had about it:<\/p>\n Scott:<\/strong> So I see you’re using the new stuff.\u00a0 Maca.<\/p>\n Me:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n Scott:<\/strong> So what does it do for us?<\/p>\n Me:<\/strong> Well, I don’t remember everything off the top of my head because it’s a lot, but I do know it’s supposed to increase libido.<\/p>\n Scott:<\/strong> I see.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/OHC-01-19-10_sign.jpg\" "\\"Shit")
<\/a><\/p>\n\u00a0 Still had to wear my toboggan and gloves though, let’s not get crazy here.\u00a0 I have a feeling that this warm weather isn’t going to last. February can tend to be a psycho-hosebeast sometimes and March is just plain old emo wanting attention for being “Spring!” but not getting it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
