AM: (9 miles, 1:17:44). Interesting. I ran about 6.5 miles easy and then ran the last 20` at MP. I ran this same "workout" last September, and the last 20` this time was near 15 secs slower (bummer), BUT, the overall run was faster by over a minute. So, I guess I am happy ;-). I am still working on getting my eating back up to speed. I kind of like that I have lost weight (I am still down about 8 lbs) - but I am still trying to get my nutrition worked out. One of the things my doctor said was *don't skip meals* - and I try hard not to, but somehow two times this week I was not able to eat lunch until 3PM - which meant, of course, that I did not really eat dinner. It is not really my fault, both days I quite literally had meetings for 6 hours straight and it just wasn't feasible to eat. I think I just need to try to schedule things a little better. Anyway - I am just happy to be feeling better!! I am eliminating wheat gluten from my diet for the next couple of weeks, to see if this helps. Alicia Shay and I were talking yesterday and she said that true blue celiac disease runs in her family, along with gluten sensitivity, and many of her family had similar problems to mine. The problem, for me, is that being a vegetarian makes it difficult to ensure that I get enough protein and other things that are often in foods with high wheat gluten content. The "gluten-free" stuff in stores is really not always that healthy, so I really believe that natural (not processed) alternatives are "best". The problem is that we are so busy that planning meals (and, obviously finding time to eat them ;-) ) is not really that easy. PM: easy 4. Happy March, bloggers!!
