Hello! Here is the race report. Finished 2:23:03, a 16 second PR! Honestly at first I was super bummed about not hitting 2:20. BUT after getting reasonable emails from my running coach and training team members. A PR is s PR you have to take them when you get them. I am finally accepting that and not feeling like I failed. I guess the reason I was so bummed was that I really felt prepared, more prepared than any race I have done and the weather conditions were perfect. I just felt so str...Wednesday, October 3rd 2012

Taking the pressure off of eating perfect helped me this past week. I know I still need to address the sweet thing but I need to do it gradually because this week I felt very comfortable (no panic feelings) with the eating. Weight is staying at 225 right now but I will take it as it is not a gain.I recognize that I still need to change my eating to reach my weight loss goals BUT I am willing to take things slower so this next phase in my nutrition plan will not feel restrictive BU...
