Just found these new weight and calorie features. Wish it would just take my weight and distance and calculate calories for me. Im too lazy to go to some website to do that. So I think 400cal for my morning 3.65 and 900-1000 for my 8.1mile afternoon run is reasonable. I guess ill go look that up right now to confirm.
Oh, and for henry and bedoukian's information, that 167 is down from 178 just a few weeks ago. It is coming off and im not stopping until at least 150. I ran the 1:18:45 half at 152lbs and I attribute that time mostly to the weight and less so to the 80mpw the previous 3 months and less so to the long tempos and other workouts I did. Right now despite my superior PR, I think that I am the underdog. I have 5 months to match and surpass your fitness. For the first 2 months I will be losing weight and building mileage. Then in the heat of the summer I will start some serious workouts. Ive always said it is easier to train during the winter. We will have to see how this goes.
Looked up the calories and they seemed super high. Like 500ish for the AM and over 1100 for the PM. I think that must have been not subtracting out what you would have burned basal if you had not been running. I am only interested in excess calories burned for this. Overall of course I am just wanting to take in less than i burn overall but seems silly to include that in my running blog.

AM: 3.65 Sooo tired. Probably from yesterday's 8 mile run. On blackstone there were these total poser runners who got on a block ahead of us and proceeded to run about 7 pace. This is not okay in my book. So we slowly picked it up until about a mile later we passed them. Then jamie surged for the pawtucket city line a mile out and stupidly i went with him knowing he would crush me. Anyway, nothing hurting particularly on me so thats good. Over the past few days had a bit of a scare with my ITB and some mild plantar fascitis. But good old ibuprofen came through once again.
PM: Red Rooster Ramble in 31:03 for second. I biked down there and have upped my mileage so much in the past two weeks that I am very happy with that time. It was a decently hard tempo but I figure I could go at least a minute faster racing without biking. And if tapered then maybe better. But this was really just a baseline from which to work off. Now I know that fat, broken down, and tired I can run 6:12 pace pretty well.
The calories burned includes my 22 mile bike ride 11 down and back.
AM: Jesus Christ I am tired. Went suuuper slow but oh well. That is the nature of post workout morning runs.
PM: A world of pain. But I can feel some adaptation already. And I am remembering just how much I can endure. And as always, the easy days hurt the most for me.
AM: super slow again. Im sorta glad my morning runs are alone right now. I would be very frustrating to anyone reasonably fit and I couldn't lolygag as I have been doing.
PM: 8.1 feeling decent only in comparison to how i have been feeling.
