Hmm....I have a little to talk about. Just jibber jabber. :)
I had a 8 mile run this morning. I did it just fine and dandy. All on only 30 mins sleep. LITERALLY. ONLY 30 mins. The adrenaline would not go away!! ;) Probably because all I kept thinking about was WORRYING. How this how that what this what that. Brain would not STOP! All had to do with YEAR from now for my marathon. I am more relaxed today because it is a YEAR away. I KNOW I can do anything I put my mind to. I will figure it ALL out and everything will be fine. I have come up with conclusions/decisions on some things. So along my way to blogging I will discuss what I have come to conclude.
Oh ya 8 mile run...lol anyways it was a very NICE run. I was relaxed and ran SLOW. I told myself just to run slow. I did...but not happy with how slow. It ended up being an EXACT 12 min mile average the whole run. I usually run LOW 11 min mile if not under (10.50 min mile). So to see 12 I did NOT like. My other long runs I still average the same but never 12.
I have decided that I am now going to add the 3 miles starting 2 weeks from now to get me from 10 (longest I have run technically 10.5) to 13. I will then stay there til middle of year when I train for the marathon.
I have also decided I am no longer counting my calories. Yes it is a year away but I need to learn and focus on my training (running) NOW. Eating when I am hungry. Choosing healthy stuff. It is what will work for me. I get full few bites into my food (on certain meals)..so I will stop eating. Yes I usually get hungry 15 mins later so you know what I will do if that happens? I will start eating again. I will put it away and if I am hungry take it back out and eat some more. I need to start LISTENING to my body. Yes it has only been a day but I feel fantastic about this. I even had some extra veggies yesterday and felt like I MIGHT start freaking so BEFORE I even thought about calories I mantra-ed to myself FOOD IS FUEL FOOD IS FUEL. I did not ONCE freak or worry about my food that I had extra of. Which is HUGE for me. I am happy with my decision. It also makes me feel like I do not WANT chips or sweets because I know I NOW can have it if I wanted. So whats the point in making yourself sick from eating so much if you know it is not off limits. It takes not counting and all this for me to feel that way. So if it is what works...I am doing it.
I will eat extra meat/fish, and veggies @ dinner. If I am hungry after bfast I will eat cottage cheese, or yogurt. I will buy EXTRA fruit so that I may snack on an apple or the extra banana I buy. I will have @ plums for my mid afternoon snack instead of 1. I will also have 2 oranges before bed instead of 1. I am eating extra yes but it is HEALTHY..right? RIGHT! I WILL have pasta once in a while and a bagel if I want. I will instead of having 1 egg yolk and 5 egg whites I will have 2 egg yolks instead...with a bagel or bread. I will not do this every time but it will happen.
I will occasionally make HEALTHY pancakes that I would love to make for my family, because I do not have to worry about NOT having the calories to eat it.
Heck even this morning when I got home form my run..I ate cottage cheese with my coffee and cup of milk. FOOD IS FUEL. SO I have not regretted it AT ALL. I am proud of myself.
I will track ONLY my water AND cardio. That is all.
I will be signing up for a HALF marathon in the next few days if not more then one. I have to do some before end of next year. It's happening. I will do 1/2's in 2012..not this year.
I have had alot of I am crazy and I can not do this thoughts about the marathon...I know I can. I will. If anyone is negative and does not believe in me like I do I will delete. Wheter from FB, Spark (NOONE has been so far! :) TY all!) or life. I ONLY need positive people! :')
