Connections

Day 1 of Paleo and I'm not dying! I'm hungry only because it's 8 pm and I always snack at this hour but I was satisfied with my meals all day. I went to the cafe for breakfast where the owner is a member of CF and created a Paleo-friendly menu. I got the "Box Jump" and it was delicious: 1 egg over easy, sauteed portobella mushrooms, spinach, tomato, and onion with a chicken sausage and avocado. It was really good and I had enough for lunch as well. When I ordered the owner came out to see who was ordering a Paleo meal and he introduced himself to me. I have wonderful friends but I don't have many connections to people up here. It's nice to be a part of something.

The workout tonight was ridiculous, as always. It's unreal what some of these people can squat. I am such a light-weight when it comes to that stuff but, oddly, I don't feel bad about it. I don't feel like I'm in competition with anyone like I sometimes get with running. I'm just there to get through the workout and do the best I can. It will all come along. Everyone is so encouraging anyway. Again, it's nice to make connections.

I found out some of the CFers are doing the Tough Mudder. I've been signed up for awhile and had planned on going up solo. It will be cool to know some people up there. Again, connections. I didn't realize how important that is.

We're due for another storm so I'm definitely going to try to get in a lunchtime run tomorrow because the rest of the week might get messed up if the snow is as bad as they're predicting.
