Despite the rain, my last two runs have been great. I ran about 10 miles or so today in the rain and I didn’t mind that much. Yesterday I ran in the rain and I felt really good.
But really now? I am sick of the rain. It’s June, Portland!
All of you that have nice weather, send it my way. Please and thank you.

Tuesday’s workout: Over an hour run and about 15 minutes on the elliptical
I began my run at 8 AM and got to school a little bit after 9:30 because I had to take my math exam at 10:30. I bet everyone enjoyed my soaking, sweaty self.
The exam went fairly well I think. It took me an hour and a half compared to last time when it took me two hours (and I didn’t even finish). I have a B in the class so I don’t care that much.

Afterwards I was starving so I decided to hit up the food carts! If you don’t know, Portland has a lot of food carts. I’m sure we are known for our food carts. Watch the Cooking Channel sometime. Eat St. has an episode or two on food carts. Have you ever been to one?
I ended up going to this German food cart. I totally forget the name, but it has been featured in GQ Magazine and is voted the 6th best food cart in the U.S.
I got the eggplant sandwich that had romaine lettuce, red pepper spread, and parsley on ciabatta bread. The thing was bigger than my head.
Update on weight: I weighed myself on Tuesday. I’m not at square one anymore. It’s more like I am at square one plus another square. That doesn’t make any sense, but I don’t feel like saying my weight because people get all doctor-y and tell me facts.
I do not believe in BMI facts, etc. If I feel healthy, maybe I am at the ‘right’ weight. I don’t think I am just yet though. I do feel hell of a lot better, nonetheless. I am eating more. Perhaps not enough, but I feel better even though the scale isn’t going up. I just want to let everyone know that I eat! I just do not eat enough. I do not starve myself either.
Currently, I want to let go of some of my fear foods. I have let go of many in the past several months, but I still have some like: coffee, French toast, waffles, pancakes, protein bars that have more than xxx calories, and some other foods. Why can’t I drink iced coffee when I am craving it? I just don’t want to drink my calories. I don’t know why.

Wednesday’s workout: 45 minutes of weight and over an hour run that equaled about 10+ miles.
I feel so good about lifting once again. I have gotten a bit stronger. I can squat about 45 pounds and I have increased on most of my weights. I know, 45 pounds is like nothing compared to a lot of you, but my legs feel it. I love it.
By the way, if anyone knows of any websites or blogs that offer some great weight lifting workouts, hit me up!
I was starving after my workout so I was going to hit up the food carts, but I saw the Portland food market was open.
I bought a vegetarian tamale. Best thing ever! I don’t even know what a tamale is, but I want more more more more.
I hope everyone is enjoying their week so far! I have graduation rehearsal tomorrow plus a track workout. Saturday is my graduation. Huzzah! I am somewhat dreading it because I’m nervous about not being able to run. I’ll wake up at five if I have to. I don’t care. Call me crazy.
Has anyone seen the Twitter picture LeAnn Rimes posted?
Do you think she is too skinny? Everyone seems to think so. Honestly, I don’t think she is overly thin. I think she looks damn good… just really thin. She could be healthy for all we know.
