Peep Show

I love my mom.
She is a strong, intelligent, caring woman. But right now, I'd like to kill her.
She sent me marshmallow Peeps for Easter.
2 GIANT packages.
I've almost destroyed one already.

My name is Sam, and I'm addicted to sugar.

I purposefully do not buy sweets because if they enter this house it's ALL I think about until it's gone.
You know those people who buy a candy bar and eat half of it and stick in the fridge? Yeah, I loath you. I've attempted it and it's like something out of a Poe short story.

I hear the thing in the fridge saying "EAT ME... EAT ME NOW" and I often listen to sugary treats with a menacing voice.

I think I'll donate the last package to... some grad students or maybe that dude near the Waffle House that walks around with a sleeping bag.

The 5 Miler

I did something I've never done today.
I ran 5 miles.
That's right. 5 miles.
I'm not a fast runner, or a graceful runner, but I did it. And so can YOU.

I can't even put it into words, I'm just proud of my accomplishment.

Get moving!

ATTN: Blog Re-Route!

I'm terrible at blogging.

But you all knew that, right?

In spite of my crappy attendance at my own blog, my wonderful friend and I have decided to "co-blog" on her blog site, HereComesHealthyLittleMe. I have a feature every Saturday there called "see Sam run Saturdays". I will be living there permanently because, lets face it, I suck at updating my own blog regularly.

But to bring everyone up to speed, this is what has happened since we last chatted...

• I ordered and began the Insanity workout. It is, indeed, INSANE. I'm about 3 weeks in and have decided to add running back into my routine a few days a week in addition to the work outs. Yes, I said running. (PS- I have baby biceps and I'm stoked about it!)

• I have been running again. *GASP* last week I logged something like 12 miles. I ran 4.2 miles yesterday and my legs/feet feel great. I think Insanity has a little something to do with that.

• I signed up for a 5k in April with HealthyLittleMe mentioned above and I'm considering a 10k that takes place the following day. She's doing it. I want to. But it sounds completely nuts. 

• I'm finished with data collection for my thesis and should be writing as we speak, but I'm procrastinating and that's how I ended up here in the first place, updating my pathetic excuse for a blog.

So that's that and please follow HereComesHealthyLittleMe, she's far more entertaining than I and she updates like every week, sometimes everyday. I know, over achiever.
