AM: 3 to work and 3.45 around campus. Got a little lost and ended up running .45 more than planned. Felt good. I just need to lose more weight so I don't feel bad about going shirtless as it is a must in this weather.
In response to your weight loss question. First, I definitely had weight to lose. Most of my life I have lifted weight, thus my goal has been to gain.
In training for my first marathon, I lost 6 lbs from November to May. I basically ate what I wanted to eat and justified my mileage as a reason for doing so.
It's amazing what you learn about yourself in actually running a marathon. I was keeping a descent pace until mile 22 and then averaged 15 minute miles for the final three.
That's basically what it took to inspire me to change my diet. Nothing extra special. Just following popular advice. I eat 4-5 times a day, am rarely hungry, have replaced unhealthy snacks with fruits/vegetables/even breads. Snack less in the evening and have began doing crunches/situps during TV time (baseball game/news/etc.). The only desert I have had in the past month is low-fat frozen yogart. Anyway, good luck in training for your Fall marathon!
