Food, festivities and a disappointing run

Well, the week was starting off really nice because I was able to get a run in during lunch and realized how much I love running. It was a short and sweet 4.5 miler and absolutely gorgeous out. Again, I took the necessary walk breaks that I needed and I couldn't have felt better after the run.

Unfortunately, my Saturday long run was cut in half. I only ran 9 miles and was supposed to do 18. I dunno what happened. I was getting fatigued, a little light headed and I lost all motivation to run the distance. I know that I will be able to run the full marathon next month because I will be thousands of other runners. However, these long runs drain all motivation from me. I am debating now if I will do the 20 miler with the Team in Monterey. It was nice that everyone was so understanding and still think that I am slightly crazy for running for two.


Festivities
The great perk to being pregnant is the guiltless indulgence on food. Yes, before I was pregnant I actually counted my calories and was very religious about not over-doing the carbs. However, now since I can't drink, I can't have sushi, I can't have mass quantities of caffeine....I will in no doubt indulge on foods that I can have.

On Sunday we went to a street festival in Berkeley which had over 23 blocks of vendors. Since this was the first street festival that I have been to in a few years...I took advantage of it. I dined on polish sausage, funnel cake, garlic parmesan fries, shaved ice, some chicken bbq on a stick and a big ole bag of kettle corn. Yes my friends...no guilt.
