Well, today was a little easier with the cravings. Admittedly, I thought about food quite a bit, but looking at it was actually ok (even watched a cooking show on PBS. I do like Ming Tsai quite a lot, and I always wonder why he’s no longer on the Food Network.) Anyway, the real craving came when I drove Aimee to Punjabi Dhaba so she could pick up her dinner. Man, that smelled delish! What else would you expect from the second best Indian restaurant in Boston after all?
When we came home I made up a glass of lemon juice, toot-sweet, as it were. Earlier in the day, though, Aimee and I went shopping for a few things; mainly, we shopped in preparation for a bit of a run. Today was the first day, and I’ll tell you what, it felt good. I’ve never felt good with running, though I’ve always wanted to. By the end of the twenty minutes, we weren’t even jogging, we were actually running (inadvertantly). Great fun, and we’re both looking forward to the second work out on Tuesday night.
And that’s it, I’m writing this just before I drink my nightly cup of senna tea at bedtime, and watching Eye of the Leopard. Fascinating show – I love big cats. And the bit with the baby baboon was heartbreaking.
Day 4 should be interesting.
Not Caught Up? Read about Day 2.

I’m not sure if you’ve answered this, but why lemon juice instead of just plain water? Is it straight lemon juice, or is it watered down?
I highly recommend Hal Higdon’s _Beginner’s Running Guide_, which you can get from http://www.halhigdon.com/books/bookorder.htm for about $5. My second bit of advice: after a few weeks (not more than a month) you should take your shoes to a decent running store (they’ll examine the wear pattern to see if you need additional stabilization) and get new shoes, expecting to spend somewhere between $70-$120 per pair. Good shoes really do make a difference, and they need to be replaced every 300-400 miles.
