Week 1 is in the books :)

Week 1 of training is done, and I am happy to report I am still excited about everything!
Saturday was about 60 degrees in January so of course I ran my 6 miles outside! Loved it!! But I am seriously debating calling a nutritionist or not... I choked down half of one of those GU things before I went to run (and I had an egg and cheese burrito and protein shake) so I thought id be good to go hungry wise... Not so much... I was running at a local park so after mile 3 I ran to my car to choke down some more of the GU but after running that next mile I still felt really shakey... So I ran to my car AGAIN and the only thing besides water I had was a day old Coke that I drank the rest of and finished the next 2 miles of my run fairly well... What am I honestly supposed to do about this?? In my fanny pack, I mean hydration belt, I wont be able to pack a few sandwiches to take along. There's only 17 more weeks of training to get it right... I'm going to head over to the Big Dawgs at PR running and ask them for some advise before I call my doctor. 
I have had this quote stuck in my head lately: "no matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everyone on the couch." I keep that in mind when I look at the calendar and see that by the end of the month I am already going to be running 10 miles at a time. I have to admit that although I am excited to just be able to run this marathon, I do want a good time. And I get a little anxious about the whole time thing. I guess it's the athlete in me and I have to keep in mind no matter what there are sooooo many people who didn't choose to do what I am doing...
So you know you are old when you pluck out 4 grey hairs and still see plenty more but stop because you're too afraid to pull out the brown hair... Cripes this is depressing! Last week my hairdresser told me I shouldn't think about dying my hair until it's 20% grey... ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Sorry, hairdresser Lynn but I may be going to get a second opinion even if I've been going to you forever! 
Until then I am off for week two! Some changes in the days because of work but i will get my milage in don't you worry :)
