Performance Anxiety

I have a regular checking-in appointment tomorrow with my surgeon. The three pounds I gained over Thanksgiving are gone (and thanks for your comforting words during my freak-out).

But I'm at the same weight I was at the last appointment. Ugh, what was I thinking, making a weigh-in appointment less than a week after Thanksgiving? What was I thinking???

I won't be asking for a fill or an unfill at this appointment. I think I'm at a good place with restriction, and my food intake isn't bad if we're not talking about the day before, day of and day after Thanksgiving. So I'm going to stay the course.

I also think I probably won't be running the NYC Half marathon. The Team in Training director told me the event is oversold and there's a strict three-hour time limit on the course, which means once they hit three hours everyone has to get off the course (quit) no matter how close to the finish line you are. That's a 13-14 minute mile, which is incredibly slow but I'm pretty sure I'm not even that fast. So I'm looking at the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll in June, but only doing the half. I don't have a full marathon in me right now.
