Completed my first half marathon yesterday (go me yes that is a brag), plus the witch decided to make an appearance and this morning I woke up to a 7lb weight gain!!! I'm used to being up a couple of lb at the end of a lifting cycle but 7lb in one night, that's just mad.

    It'll be a combination of water weight for muscle repair plus the hormonal water weight.

    Congratulations on your half marathon :)

    I've done it. The next few days those 7 pounds will be gone! Congrats!

    Yup, that's post-race water weight. Your leg muscles are recovering. It'll go in a few days.
