About 25 miles under my belt now. I skipped one workout since I was sick, plus I had to accommodate for potential bad weather.
Overall, not a bad week and I was happy that I ran 6 miles in less than 90 minutes. It was pretty awesome. Especially since I am starting to gain more and more confidence with myself. For one thing, I have no fear of wearing spandex. This is exemplified by the fact that I have bought the world's loudest print under armor capris. I gotta work on my booty a little bit more before I dawn those bad boys. Let's just say insanely busy pattern on a lot of surface area may not be the most attractive.
On the plus side, I have started to eat better. I am contemplating eating some healthier things and attempting to control my calories somewhat because I know I am running and I want to be efficient. But, the major plus is that I can eat more and not gain weight. My 6 miler allowed me to burn off almost 1000 calories. That made the Red Robin Royal Burger an achievable reality. I think running may help me indulge in my next favorite sport, eating :-) That's right no salads for this girl, I need protein!!!
Perhaps the most interesting development is my assessment of all clothes. I was laughing with my friend Ashley this weekend because I found myself assessing flat seams and the ability to prevent chaffage. Yes, I am now primarily concerned with chaffage...somehow it makes me concerned that I am going to have to figure out how to prevent this over the next 7 months. So my marathon training goes something like this:
1. Complete marathon
2. Prevent chaffage while completing marathon
3. Don't die shortly after completing marathon
It's as easy as 1...2...3...
Well, I am super excited because i get to run with Amanda tomorrow. It's just three miles, but it should be fun!
Total Miles Run: 25 miles
Until later, happy running!
