I also have a huanbsd who is picky eater. I know that this is no coincidence. He tries very hard to not express his pickiness to the kids, but they know. It is a struggle in our house. When Macartney was a toddler, she was incredibly picky. I went to a picky eating seminar put on by our health region that helped a lot. Here’s a couple of things I learned that helped:-Don’t put emotion behind food, whether that be a positive or negative emotion. For example, don’t scold kids for not eating something. At the same time, don’t praise them for eating well either. Food should be food, not something emotional. By making it an emotional issue, we teach our kids to eat emotionally.-Think about nutrition on a weekly scale, not a daily one. Kids might not eat any vegetables one day, but may make up for it the next. So instead of thinking that they need a certain number of servings of this and that, think of what they are getting all week long.-Don’t force it. They suggested at this seminar not to even push the one bite rule. I have at times, but I try not to. We do all right. We are not the healthiest eaters, but in general, I’d say we have a healthy diet. The problem is that we as parents like junk! I’m doing better and we are slowly improving. I have found that focussing on the things my kids do like really helps. Macartney isn’t as picky as she used to be and we focus on all the healthy things she does like, like spinach and salmon. I try to include at least one thing I KNOW the kids will eat each meal. So if that’s all they eat, I try not to worry about it. This week, dinner was very unpleasant one night when no one would eat. So we talked about what healthy foods they would like to eat. And I made those meals. Guess what? Success! Healthy, delicious food chosen by my picky eaters!

Thanks Jen! We are preparing to put our house on the market (hopefully in the next week!) and I had a lot of house stuff to work on this weekend so maybe that helped keep my mind off it too! Thanks for the note- sounds like you really relate and that makes me feel good to know I’m not alone!! 🙂 Thought your post the other day that included “what runners are really thinking” was hilarious!

Ugh, another reason I’m just like you! Even though I always tell you not to….

Bad idea. Otherwise- it would’ve been ON SON.

I am great at giving advice that I don’t follow myself! Right now my advice that I give and don’t follow is drink more water and stretch :/.
I have not had a hamstring issue…but I did have runners knee awhile back and I kept running with it until I could hardly walk! (bad idea)
I think I came close to having another injury a few months ago but we moved and that forced me to take several days off and for about a week if I did find time to run it was only a couple of miles. I think that helped me a lot and if I didn’t have so much going on I am pretty sure I would not have taken a break.
I think if we are all honest we all at least compare a little! It is just a matter of focusing on what your best is on that given day and going out there and giving it your best and determining that you are proud of that. When I get hung up on comparing I also try to put it in perspective…I am not a pro runner. I love running and work hard at it…but it is not all that I am 🙂
It was nice that you had a rest weekend :). Right now I take 1 day a week off completely. Who knows….sometimes the best races come from what we think to be not the best training
