Total Distance

15.50

Did my 3.5 mile morning run.

Then a 12 mile run in the afternoon. This was a lot of miles for one day for me so I took it slow. Plus I went out at about 4:45 pm so it was still close to 90 outside. I pulled an old runners trick and cut into the golf course to grab a drink of water. It tasted so good the first time that I found anouther one about a mile later. I'm down to 155.5 the lowest I've been since runing at UVSC in 2001. I really don't want to lose much more. In fact I need to start lifting a little to build my upper body. Trying to find the time or energy to lift has been an issue.

HI. That is one heck of a first marathon. Anyway just my 2 cents Re: Lifting. 2 X's a week 30 minutes each time is sufficient to build strength & see notivable results after 6-8 weeks in your upper body. I enjoy lifting weights and actually am cutting back from 3-4 times to 2 times a wek to get more miles in... Just like putting the mile in get to the gym & put the reps in...

Holy Moly. shoe man. talk about putting on the miles. Don't expect to get much bulk from lifting. running tends keep you slim. you will gain some strength.

How tall are you?

From SuperFly on Tue, May 02, 2006 at 10:14:30

5 feet 10 and one half inch tall

From Sasha Pachev on Tue, May 02, 2006 at 11:49:51

You are exactly as tall as me. My weight is 140 after a hard run in the heat, and normally 145. However my arm bones are very thin. So I'd say unless you have very thick bones, you are probably still on the high end in weight for a marathoner.

From SuperFly on Tue, May 02, 2006 at 12:05:20

I do have bigger bone mass, and a pretty thick muscal mass for a marathoner. I know if I keep training like this I'll continue to lose weight. However its not a priority any more. If it happens it happens. Before I stressed about it and ate to lose weight. Now the only thing I have to lose it muscal and pride.

Just train hard and eat right - no junk, lots of quality foods. Your body then will automatically pick the most optimal weight.
