I might be pregnant.

What is it about the food lately? Why do I want to eat so damn much and why do I want to eat so many strange things?

Necco wafers? There are some Necco wafers in the cupboard and I was considering eating them for a snack. A damn roll of Necco wafers. Chocolate Necco wafers, but just as gross as Necco wafers always are. No idea why I wanted them.

What did I end up having? Spaghetti sauce right out of the jar with a spoon. Several spoonsfull into it, I kinda snapped out of it and got the what-the-heck-am-I-doing feeling. Fortunately, my wife didn’t see it so I didn’t get the what-the-heck-are-you-doing look. How did I salvage the situation? I poured some of the sauce onto a semi-dry end crust of bread, added cold shredded cheddar cheese (full fat, yuck!) and ate that instead. Cold. It did stop the cravings. I am so very messed up it isn’t funny.

I ran intervals last night. 7 x 400 (actually .25 mile), and walked 400 in between. It was really cold out and they were storm clouds swirling around but no rain so I got lucky. When I got out there I realized that I hadn’t checked the pace I needed, so I guessed at about 7:00, which turned out to be wrong. I really needed around 6:10 (actual times of 1:32 - 1:36). Splits: 1:45, 1:46, 1:44, 1:41, 1:39, 1:38, 1:40. It was a good workout, but I didn’t get it down to where I really needed it to be, and I was holding back a bit so I didn’t overshoot the times. Oh well. Did the full icing routine (shins, ITB knee) when I got home, just to be sure everyone was happy.

I was surprised to see so many people at the park on such a rotten day. Mostly disc golf players. And its such a paradox too. The disc golf course is in the center of the park while the 3 mile running path circles around it. On the path are all these people running and biking and trying to get fit and get into shape. In the center of all this are these bummy looking college guys eating Doritos and smoking cigarettes. Wierd. At least they aren’t eating spaghetti sauce from the jar.

    It’s just your body’s way of telling you that you aren’t getting enough from the “sauce” food group.

    You might be lacking items from the red food group or you could be pregnant. If you start peeing too much you’re definitely pregnant.

    I’m a wop and even I don’t eat spaghetti sauce out of a spoon. Well, if it’s homemade sauce that I made I will but…

    Anyway, you need to get yourself a jar of Nutella to put in the cupboard. Now THAT’S some spoon eatin’ goodness!

    The disc golfers takes me back to college - man, nothing like a spring day with nothing to do but have a couple (ten or twelve) beers and play frisbee golf… Many, many miles between then and now.

    The food - sign that the working out is going well.

    Are your breasts tender? That would be a good indication it’s preagnancy! LMBO

    Well, when I hit ‘the sauces’ or something wierd like that it means something is on my mind I need to work out…then again with my weird circuitry that probably isn’t a relevent sign for you! ;)

    If you need to eat something off a spoon Jon, you want yerself some PB or Maple Butter.

    Jon this could mean your wife is pregnant - when my first wife was pregnant I always got the cravings (and put on major weight).
