the gutter may profess its love
6 miles last night in the racing flats. felt good. i never did get my cup of coffee yesterday so i was pretty tired/spacey all day. but i did drink a lot of water all day and i think that helped my run feel more towards effortless than normal. last 7 days: 50 miles.
i've been thinking more about how i feel lately, and i'd really like to figure it out. it affects my day to day life i guess, feeling irritable and spacey and toxic isn't exactly condusive to a work ethic. it also affects my training, and although that comes after family and work, it's a very big part of my life (and mental well being). i guess i could try to eat better...not eat organic because that is a scam.
rant on: everything you eat that is animal/plant is fucking organic (ie carbon based). the 'organic movement' is flawed down to it's name. pay 3 times as much for something that has no more nutritional content than something you buy at woodmans. if you are doing it because it gives you some sort of peace of mind, all power to you (although flushing money directly down the toilet might be more satisfying than paying 6.50 for a gallon of milk). but don't think for a minute that it is any better for you nutritionally. it's not. the one redeeming aspect (in my mind) is reduced pesticide use. and don't get me started with genetically altered plants/animals (we've been selecting for desireable characteristics for centuries).
anyway, back writing about me. i'm trying to eat more antioxidants, less caffiene, more fiber and a lot more water to see what happens. hydration is something i consistantly neglect, so maybe that is the simple answer. i'll try not to complain about it too much...i really don't want to be that guy.
we ate dinner last night with ron, christy and syd-zilla. i call her syd-zilla because she kept making monster noises. once she stopped being shy that is.
happy wednesday.

but seriously, most people buying orgainc for the 'boutique' reasoning should read the fine print:

like almost everything in the usa, a lot of organic producers too are owned by 'the bigs.'
What the hell happened to the Brew Crew in '82? I would hedge a bet that the Twins went 70-92 that year.
