It has been a crazy few days for me. Work was crazy busy and so was homelife. I did not do a very good job of logging my food last week and we went out of town for the weekend as a little get-a-way/my half marathon. So I was up 3.5 pounds this morning, 222 this morning. Oops. I don't feel that bad about it. I enjoyed myself over the weekend. I will get back to it this week. I need to!Here is how the half marathon went:
The first 3 miles of the race were mostly downhill so I ha...

Had a nice and relaxing labor day weekend. Not too much running around. I really needed that. I did another 16 mile run. The first 12 miles were great but the last 4 were rough.... but I finished.

Thursday and Friday last week were very tough days for me. I was just so crabby and tired and my eating was not very good. Honestly on Friday, I just allowed myself to eat what I wanted without worry or regret. It is bad to say but it just felt good to eat what I wanted and the quantity I wanted.I am sure it was a combination of PMS, stress about my knee and just general tiredness.
Good news! I ran my 16 miles and it went very well. No pain in my knee at ALL!!! Just a tiny bit ...
