I've managed to up my mileage from a 10 mile average per week to 18 this last week. I find that I'm hungry all the time. I plan on taking it down a notch this week and do more cross training, I have a hilly 5k Sunday. Then a 10k a week later.
I'm sure I won't, but I'd like to come close to my non-training husbands time cuz it irks me that he can just up an run 7 miles when ever, no planning, and eating what ever he likes. Its funny, he's really selling himself short, he'd be much faster if he trained. Won't listen to me though.. His loss.
I know it just a 5k. My best time on this course is sub 35. Gaining weight this week wouldn't be ideal. But neither would be starving. Balance suggestions? And be patient with the calorie adjustment?0 -

Thankyou Elise, I must admit I'm proud to be welsh and I love our little country with all it's fabulous hills.
3.6 miles last night with my hill fit group takes me over my 70 mile March goal so will be upping my goal for next month.0 -
Elise4270.... good luck with your 5k on Sunday and 10K next week end.
Doing a 10k myself next weekend and hoping to beat my previous time of 64min for this race which was my first ever 10k race 2 years ago.0 -
@Elise4270, you're going to do a great job in your races!! My advice is go ahead and feed your body if it's hungry - you're working it hard! As you taper your activity, I think you hunger may assuage, too. BTW, 5Ks are my favorite race.

Saw an armadillo this morning. It crossed the street in front of me. EEEEK! They don't do anything to people, but they just are so creepy!
@elise4270 - I find I get really hungry when my mileage increases as well. I try to just listen to my body and eat until I'm full. The only thing is it is hard to find enough healthy foods to eat. I don't want to eat a bunch of junk just because I ran. The 5K should go very easy since you've been running so much.0 -

@HonuNui - I lived in Kailua on Oahu for two years several years ago. Your photos make make me ache for the island life again. I remember training for a triathlon on the beach one day and spotting a giant sea turtle (honu) under me as I swam. What a rush. What a great place to be.0

Makes a welcome addition to the totals for the month, as well!
Congrats on finishing!
So behind on all the posts, that's what happens when you are on vacation and not at work LOL

2 mile easy run0 -
Yay! I did my first ever half-marathon this weekend. My pace was off a little due to unusually high humidity/heat, a lack of ear buds, and a too-strong first couple of miles. I didn't hit the 2 hour mark like I'd planned, but still, I am now an official member of the 13.1 club. I proudly placed the sticker on my car window before even leaving the event.
My goal is met already. I think I set it too low this time.
I haven't had time to stop in here in a few days. It's gonna take a while to catch up on all the discussion. You sure are a chatty bunch.

@SLHysell - Congrats on your first HM! Definately sport that sticker proudly. That is a great time for your first.
@Elise4270 - I always get hungry when I first up my mileage. It should level out. For now just pay attention to the quality of food you are eating. I am have trying my best to eat more protein for breakfast. This is tough for me since I am not a breakfast fan however I feel like it is something my body really needs.

I am heading out of town for 5 days starting Thursday. There looks like there is a nice bike path right by the Airbnb though which I am planning on getting to know well!0 -
@briebee7 @ddmom0811 @4leighbee
Thanks. I think I'll have to get up earlier and have eggs and turkey bacon in place of fruit and oats for breakfast.
My pants are getting tighter in the legs and rear. Hooray!
Swam 32 laps today. Bike later this afternoon. Massage Friday! I heard this gal will hurt ya... Can not wait...

@slhysell fantastic time! Congrats.
@akirkman86 will the race have pacers? A group you can run with who will be going at your pace?

I took a spin class unexpectedly today ... was ambushed in the locker room by a friend. That's what I get for not being focused on my lunchtime run all morning. It (the spin class) was ... weird. I don't understand that brand of effort: sweating and legs tight and working hard, but not breathing hard ... I am getting better at standup-sitdown-standup-sitdown though. Sigh. No miles today.0

BTW:
We Bay Area residents are facing sever drought warnings, yet,
we got just enough rain yesterday morning to produce this rainbow (full 180, half of it, captured by my phonecam)
By the time I ran down to claim my Pot-O-Gold the bow was gone

@slhysell - congratulations on HM! I would have a very hard time running without earbuds myself. I think that's an awesome time!
@runtimer - love the picture of the rainbow!
@honunui - wow, beautiful picture too!
@briebee7 - I love Airbnbs. I have stayed in many and love it. You meet the nicest people and it is usually cheaper. A lot of my friends think it is so strange and would never stay at one. Have a good time!0
