Variety can be bad. It tends to make people eat more.
Planning out meals ahead of time so that you have a plan to stick to and ward off emotion or boredom eating is also something I should think about trying.

FIT:
Megaloop> 2.88 mi; 22:25; 7:47/mi; 238 Cal

That's exciting news, given my HS pre-injury 5K-PR of 21:40-ish. With lower fall temps, race-day adrenaline, proper training w/ speedwork, and not having a big meal before, the time would be respectable. Well, I would have to add on the time for another 0.22 mi, which can be significant. Good progress, though.

Things that pump me up:
Being inspired by the athletic feats of friends (IM the one and only original running buddy, and quite a few ultimate ppl, for ex)
Gatorade commercials

Things that feel soooo good:
Icing post-run
Stretching in the morning when everything's tight
Cold showers post run in heat
