Q: Why a Q&A today?
Because I'm not into writing paragraphs today.
Q: What's up with the title of the post? Are you officially marathon training again?
Yep. I'm officially training for Twin Cities this year, and away we go!
Q: The title of your blog says "Day 2." Where the heck is Day 1?
Day 1s are so lame, I decided to skip it this time. Not really. Obviously, Day 1 was yesterday. Also obviously, I completely forgot about putting it in the title.
Q: So, on this Day #2...what did you do?
Ran 2 miles on a very hot and humid 5:30 AM morning with large dog. And stopped to take selfies.

Q: Only 2 miles? Are you a wimp or something?
I am a total wimp about spiders and the sight of my own blood. But I am not a running wimp - the My Run Plan app made me do it. And I do what the app tells me to do. Maybe the app is wimpy. You'd really have to ask the app about that.
Q: Maybe I will. Anyway, how's the eating today? Still healthy?
Yep. And DELICIOUS.

Q: Any news on the weight loss-front? Is the eating working?
Well, I haven't weighed myself in a while because I keep forgetting in the rush to get my workout in and getting ready for work. But I was at the doctor today and after they weighed me I used the following equation to calculate my weight loss:
Weight on scale - Estimated pounds of clothes I'm wearing - Hey I ate food today so of course I weigh more - Normally I weigh myself in the morning so of course I weight more - Oh wait I forgot I was wearing my shoes when I got on the scale = Hey I think I lost a few pounds.
Feel free to use that math equation for your weight whenever you'd like.
Q: Anything else interesting happen at the doctor?
I fell asleep in the waiting room (I had to wait for half an hour) and then when they took my blood pressure it was on the low side...which sparked a LOT of concern and ended with me saying loudly I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP IN YOUR WAITING ROOM GEEEEEZ I'M ALRIGHT
Q: I think we're at the end of the post now. Do you have a logical ending for once?
Nope. Instead I have a gratuitous and nonsensical animal picture for you. Enjoy.

| Go away. Post is over. |
Q: Are you going to do that stupid "learnings" thing you normally do at the end?
Oh yes - most definitely.
- This week is actually kind of a recovery week..the app won't let me run more than two miles at a time. I hope that changes before the marathon.
- That meal was freaking awesome. BBQ pulled chicken over a baked potato with butter and sour cream. UH-MAY-ZING
- I was at the doctor for a check-up. No freakouts, please.
- Why doctors gotta weigh you all the time? They should just trust you and take your word for whatever weight you write down.
- It was super hot at 5:30 AM. Like it has every right to be hot because it's summer or something.
Tomorrow's workout: Weights! Probably upper body of some kind with some abs thrown in for fun.
