4/18-24
Definitely a tough week of running which included my longest run yet and the most mileage I’ve accumulated in a week. The previous week was a bit of a let down when I bonked at mile 14 on my long run and I had to cut my it short by a mile, but this week, things went a whole lot better.

After watching the Boston Marathon this morning, I decided to go out for my own run. It was a tempo run for 8 miles and at a 9:21 pace. Hooray! I really needed that speed.

My Marathon Weekend

I hit the wall at mile 14 on the Friday run and things went downhill fast. I was going to add another mile to that run, but decided to just call it quits early. As for the Saturday run, it was slow, but nothing too...
Food Poisoning
Having trouble keeping any liquids in. I’m down 3 pounds since Friday. The long run planned for today is completely out. Hot yoga for tonight is out as well. Curses!
Weight, its all relative
I currently weight in the low 190s and I’ve mentioned to a few co-workers that I wanted to lose weight to help in my distance running and all have just looked at me like I was crazy.
“Do you want to look like a bean stalk?” one replied.
I think compared to the rest of the people in my office, I’m thin. No offense to my coworkers, but we’re fat. We sit in front of...
