Another workout today. Target was 2x2 miles at 6:52 pace with a .5 mile recovery in between at 8:09. Went better than that. Went and ran in Paul's Valley which is more or less flat. 2 mile warmup 8:55, 8:54 2 mile tempo 6:52, 6:47 .5 recovery in 4:05(8:10 pace) 2 mile tempo 6:38, 6:42 2 mile cooldown 8:34, 8:19 7:45 overall average pace. Felt strong the whole time, although the last mile of the second tempo I was definitely feeling it and got ever so slightly nauseated in the last quarter mile. One circuit of strength drills. So, two weeks of eating as much as I want as long as it is healthy, which equated to a lot more food and a lot more energy, and the verdict on the scale is.... no change whatsoever. Haven't gained, haven't lost, but definitely have been feeling better. I will stick to eating this way. I'm not hungry and honestly am not missing the junk much.
