Second 20 miler ever, and first of this cycle. Miles 16-20 weren't pretty. Was acutely underfueled; I had planned a carb-y dinner the night before that didnt quite happen, and did not eat before the run. About 70-75 degrees; not too bad, but enough to get dehyrdrated quickly. Stopped for water for about 30 seconds 4-5 times, and stopped a couple of times in the last few miles, because I was exhausted!
I dont mind not eating before the run, but next time I have to commit to eating well the night before.
Still, good to get in the miles.
ETA: note to self; the next morning am barely feeling the run in my legs/feet; at least partly, i think, because of running on the dirt trails wherever possible.

| From one extreme to the other. Ate TWO pieces of cake right before I went to work out. Got on the treadmill and thought I was going to vomit for the first three miles... then it must have digested because I thought i was going to shoot through the roof with energy.
Kept it to easy miles at 8:30 avg pace.
Leg Strength: squats (40lb); standing lunges (30lb); side lunges (no weight); single leg deadlifts (17.5lb) and leg extension machine (cant remember weight)

Long stretch and foam roll.
I have decided to start posting my weight. It feels kind of weird, but for some reason this is the only forum I feel safe to do that in. I would like to be at/maintain a good race weight for my November marathon, but not diet, nor be overly concerned about it. I want to be able to treat it as an intellectual/athletic pursuit, rather than emotional or body image thing. I think this is hard for (especially) female runners!
Anyway, here goes. I'm 5'3".
Oh, also going to try posting my sleep so I can be a bit more accountable about going to bed early :)

| Workout: 2x3 miles at HM pace with 1 mile jog recovery (with 2 miles warmup, 1 mile cooldown). I have never completed this workout without stopping. I was really nervous about it. I shouldnt have been.
1 x 3 miles: 6:59, 6:57, 6:44
1 mile recovery at 8:58
1 x 3 miles: 6:52, 6:50, 6:43
BOOM.

| Veeery easy miles at around 9:00 avg pace.
Legs quite tired from yesterday's effort.
Plus planks and short arm workout. Running was way more fun than these.
