Goals, BB, & Book #43

1) eat clean (will write more later about particulars, but am basically using tips from internet research and a couple of book I recently read*)
2) lose 10 lbs (before my b-day in two months? Going to try NOT to obsess about "dieting" but more just refer back to goal #1. Just want to take off a bit of bloat-pudge, and pay close attention to how my body responds.)
3) keep running :)

My next race event? http://www.fleetfeetjackson.com/big-butts-50k-100k (Andon, one of the runners I met at the Stage Race, told me about it.) lol..I find a race called "Big Butts" amusing; my personal theme song for it should be Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls"! I think I am going to register for the 50K race- but am considering then continuing on to see how much of the 100K division of this trail race I could actually complete? It's a slightly longer road trip down to Clinton, MS but it would be one more summer event, the race registration is inexpensive, and it seems like a decent low-key trail ultra.

Ugghhh... I either have some nasty insect bites or an itchy patch of poison ivy behind my right knee..and I'm cramping and bleeding heavy AGAIN today when I thought I was finished with my period for this cycle. :(

book #44

44) Nasaw, Jonathan. THE GIRLS HE ADORED. New York: Pocket Books, 2001.

Creepy psychological mystery/thriller. Same good guys (FBI Agent E.L. Pender and therapist Irene Cogan) and bad guy(Or is that bad guys? Ulysses Maxwell, diagnosed DID multiple personalities patient and serial killer) whose story is continued in the novel WHEN SHE WAS BAD. I'd read the later one, published in 2008, first, but both books worked all right as stand alone stories as well as a series.
