Great that you're figuring out what you need to keep feeling good throughout your run. Funny the difference between running and walking. My sis and I walked 10-14 miles every single day for a month when I visited her. We ate OMAD the whole time. Never once did I feel depleted.
High intensity is the difference. I can walk for ever but sprinting or running hard will take it out of me.0 -
I would be just cutting them all up (with the skins still on) and throwing them in the oven with olive oil and a bit of spicy seasoning salt and roasting them up. Did that with a bunch on the weekend and have been eating them (cold with hot sauce!) all week. Even the skins are delicious, in fact, once they are roasted, I think the skins are my favourite part!
But the nice thing about the winter squash is that they last for ages before you have to use them... I think that's actually why they are called winter squash? Because you grow them in the summer and can eat them in the winter (of course I may be totally wrong about that!)
We keep them in the garage or basement where it is cool in the winter and they will last a long time. If they look like they are starting to go bad, we will cut off the bad part, cook the rest and then throw it in the deep freeze. We have had a large 20-30lb banana squash in the garage almost all winter and just go cut chunks off when we want some (the garage is cool in the winter). We just usually bake them in the oven and then I usually eat them with a little butter and salt. My wife sometimes puts a little honey on them. The buttercup (dark green smaller ones) are so sweet, they taste like they have honey on them without putting anything on them! I will probably end up giving half of them away. I've never tried eating the skins.
The are green hubbards (big ones), blue hubbards, sweet-meat, delicatta, spaghetti, butternut, buttercup, pumpkins, and banana squashes (non of the acorn squashes produced!). We haven't picked many of these tell now but we have been eating some melons for the last month or so (I got a late start on them).
The melons are cantelope, honey-dew, crenshaw, casaba, canary, and santa clause melons, and a small water-mellon.0 -
Ran a new 5k pr today (26:43). That is a 8:37-min/mile pace. I think I could have run about 20-seconds faster if I hadn't eaten lunch today. We had people from out of town in and the office went to lunch and I thought they would feel weird eating in front of me so I ate a big tuna sandwich which let me know it was still there during the run. Was very happy with the time though with my goal being to try to break 27-min. Will be trying to break 26-min in the future. I think that might take a little while. If I lose 10-lbs, I should be there.0

EATING:
Fasted tell 5 except yesterday and had lunch due to whole office going out. I didn't want them to feel weird eating in front of me.
Had to work late Wed night and at 5:00 I was hungry. Forgot my wallet so couldn't go get some food. Raided the work snack bar (put in an IOU) and ended up eating the dinner of non-champions (4-bags of peanuts, 2-bags or pistachios, and two candy bars!). Ate a little bit after got home. Didn't feel too great after that!
40/42 days I've fasted tell 5 or later.

Was a flat course and I set a PR! Ate a sandwich for lunch before and it bothered me during the race. Think I could have went 20-sec faster if I had an empty stomach. Total 6-miles. Extrapolated to a 5k (3.1-miles) the time would be 26:43. My goal was to break 27 so I made it.
Will be trying to break 26-min now in 5ks.

Did a fairly hard 6 - mile run in the foothills. Was pretty with the fall colors. Pics don't do it justice. Parts of the trail I was on went through a tunnel of bright orange trees. It was really pretty. Golfed 9-holes on a short course earlier in the day (walked) Think my TDEE is about 3500kcals today. I'm having a hard time eating much right now. A hard run really kills my appetite for awhile.0

Your progress is going very well Bob.
That weight loss graph defines perseverance.

We've got 7-kids, this is our oldest (boy -27). This is our 2nd wedding this year (younger brother a few months ago) and we had two more last year (two oldest daughters)! We still have a single 20 yr old boy in college, a 17-yr old girl at home who's a senior in high school and our little caboose who is an 11 year old girl. We really like the girl our boy is marrying so it will be good. Yes, it has been a bit crazy the last two years. Thanks.0 -

This is my oldest's second wedding, the first did't work out. He had 1-child with his ex, a boy who is almost 5-yrs old. The girl he is marrying today also had a child out of wedlock who is almost 4, so I do have one grandchild and will have another in a few hours! Those boys are both great and I really do love to play with them. I do look forwards to having some more, now if I can get the other married ones to cooperate!
Along those lines, we stayed a night a couple of weeks ago at my 2nd boys apartment while they were out of town and we were attending another relatives wedding reception in that town. As we left their place in the morning, we thought it would be a great gag to buy a crib and leave it in their bedroom as a hint! We didn't do it but it was a good thought!1 -
Did you by any chance watch seven brides for seven brothers at some stage??? LOL just joking, your family sounds sooo wonderful 0
