Can't Fall Asleep

Well its 11 p.m. and I can't fall asleep, so why not start a blog? Perhaps it will keep me honest with my training throughout the summer. Maybe I can look back on this blog with fond memories of how SMART and proper training brought on respecteble results.
A little background info. I am going to be a fifth year next fall and will be participating in my last year of eligibility for cross country. I have had varying levels of difficulty with my hamstring for the past year and a half. I have a good amount of knowledge of running-I've read 40+ books pertaining to running, and I want to be a high school coach in a few years.
This summer I am going to monitor things very closely-mileage and intensity to not push my hamstring too hard. Also, I am going to try to be falling asleep much earlier than I did tonight. Just finished finals week so I am off on my sleep cycle.
Also, I am going to try to lose about 7 pounds by cross country. I'm 6'1" 161 lb. right now and thats just too big. Got to eat healthier, even if it costs me more money. Get fresh vegetables and whole wheat pasta and limit my fats.
So today, I went to the grocery store and bought whole wheat pasta, fresh squash, green beans, peas, corn, potatos, sweet potatos, turkey breast, chicken breast, tilapia, ground beef, and fettucini, ragu sauce, oatmeal, yogurt and some cereals.
Got to get an early start on a good diet for this summer. Cross Country starts in August.
