Fried food is disgusting

I hate fried food. I despise everything about it. Nothing healthy is ever fried, unless you think that catfish and chicken are healthy to begin with. But, I guess some healthy things can be deep-fried, but then suddenly they become instruments of obesity. For dinner tonight, I was forced to choke down fried catfish and chicken. Now, I normally wouldn't have eaten such terrible things, but those are the only options that I have sometimes. Larry goes out, and buys fried food. Dave needs to eat, so he eats it. Sometimes I curse my body.. having to constantly devour food to stay active. I guess it could be worse. I could be overweight and disgusting. Oh man that would suck.

Luckily it is the off season and I don't really need to worry about what I eat. Not that I normally do, but I'd like to think that I eat reasonably healthy. I stay away from fast-food as much as I can, though I occasionaly love having a nice sandwich from subway. I mean, one needs to indulge one's self every now and again. I guess if I really wanted to be in peak fitness that I should probably eat better, but I just like food way too much and use way too much energy to try to survive off completely health foods. I guess I eat a lot of fruits and veggies.. but I do indulge in candy and sweets all the time. I realize that high fructose corn syrup is the devil.. but man, skittles taste so freaking good sometimes. But yeah, I guess I'll never be 100% due to my diet.. but at the current moment, I'm not going to be running in the olympics, and I mean.. triathlons are sort of a hobby, not my life. Maybe when I start being able to live off racing (doubt it'll ever happen) but at that point I'll start eating correctly. At the moment.. I just eat what I want and enjoy it. Never really been able to gain weight.. though i bet that'll change one day too.

But yeah.. off-season time. I want to get in great shape in the next 5 months or so. Run some 5k and 10k races, swim a lot, hit the gym like I'm some sort of maniac, and really just whip myself into a good racing shape for next season. I'll probably hit it really hard come March.. bump up the training and get ready for Memphis in May.. I think that'll probably be the first race this season. I also want to see if I can get out West and visit the family as well as run some races out there. I've always wanted to do the Death Ride, or Escape from Alcatraz.. though maybe I should train more before doing any big races like that. Maybe 2006.. who knows. But yeah, I want to get stronger legs.. never been completely happy with my bike splits. I feel they could be much much better.. I just haven't been riding long enough. I think with a good few months of training I could really knock off the minutes. Erik says it is just all about experience.. so maybe I just have to be patient and continue training. With the new bike.. I feel I need to work harder so as I feel that I deserve it. Ahh.. I'm looking forward to the winter. Now without school, though work might mess it all up, I'll be able to train. I don't know.. we'll see how it works out.

Oh yeah.. Yankees suck.. stupid Yankees. I bet I could have a really good ball club if I had hundreds of millions of dollars. Of course, then I bet everyone would hate my team too.

This post has gone on way too long. I should probably run. Enough rambling for one night.
