Wow- it feels good to type a new, fresh entry (after screwing up my entries earlier this week)
Today I met up w/ Heather for 5 mi. around my hilly neighborhood. We haven't run together for a week and had lots of "catching up" to do. I was happy that we kept a 9:19 pace with all the hills & talking.
Tomorrow is the Run 4 Kids 5k. It'll be fun to see the bloggies and meet Kim! Also have some friends from my ward going to race: Lanae (10K) Lanae has 9 great kids, don't know how she find the time to train, she's amazing! Sara (I think this will be her 2nd 5k?) & Andi. Its Andi's first race- GO ANDI! (Andi is also a supermom of 7 children!)
Ok- I have a weird question for the bloggies- does anyone out there experience a flushed face when they eat candy (chocolate or any sugary candy?) This is new for me, the past few weeks. Could be perimenopausal stuff, or maybe just a blood sugar spike? Either way, its obvious I need to cut out the sugary junk food & this may be just the push I need to do it. The face flushing (feels very hot w/ very light perspiration) seems to be getting worse each time I eat candy. Cookies & other sweets are OK, but straight candy or chocolate get me bad. I'm sure you all think I'm crazy, just wondering if anyone else has heard of or experienced this? |
