    @Bakins929 - Congrats on your anniversary! My husband really wants to do that hike.
    @kgirlhart - Great job on having your pace get faster during all this heat!

    No run today - but weight training and a Spinning class tomorrow - maybe I can work a run in there as well.

    I had to get out for an evening run because 1) the temp is so nice right now and 2) I had a big custard-filled donut from a local bakery at jury duty this morning. So good. It almost made up for the interminable waiting around. Eventually I was dismissed and now my service is done.

    Anyway, the run was ok but I am having some trouble with my foot going numb. I think it's my shoes wearing out an I've ordered a new pair. I hope that will solve things.

    That's quite the day of eating @MNLittleFinn! I'm jealous of the Dairy Queen - we don't have them here (or at least very few, I have heard rumors of one I need to track down)! I have to hit it up every time I get back to the midwest to visit. Getting so close now to your race! Exciting!

    We need this in Huntsville.

    Description
    The timed Taco Mile will be on Tuesday, June 27 at 6:30pm starting at 135th & Oak. We will run the race in several waves based on projected times. Each participant will eat one taco before running each quarter mile in the race, for a total of four tacos of eating and one mile of running.


    How does one even project their own time for this?

    The Rochester, NY version is called "Taco de Mile" and is held on Cinco dey Mayo, of course. I didn't run it, but I've heard several runners discuss the fine points of balancing the eating and the running. It was put in as a warm weather follow up to the Donut Mile on January 1; same thing, only 4 donuts instead of 4 tacos. Based on my perception of the mass American desire to appear to do healthy things without actually adopting a healthy lifestyle, I expect both races to be around a while.

    I might go watch Taco de Mile if it's convenient next year. I expect the Donut Mile will conflict with the 7.5 mile Resolution Run on New Year's Day, and I'd rather run 7.5 miles of hills on January 1 than go watch people do a 4 x (eat a donut, run a quarter mile) workout.

    I do not know how Strava works, but I spoke with RunKeeper about runs that ended up shorter after I uploaded the run to the server (not often, but very occasionally). They told me there is a "GPS Clean up" that runs to improve the accuracy of the data. So people that are really trying to reach a specific mileage should run a little further to make sure their distance survives he clean up. Strava likely does something similar.

    So, I miscalculated my calories/carbs/macros for the day. Carbs were 58% of calories at 508g.... but I will have eaten 3342 calories today...843 over maintenance.... But, being under my average weight for the last 4 weeks, there's no worry there... come on glycogen stores!

    Food diary for today: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/MNLittleFinn

    Note, this is not my normal eating... go figure.....LOL



    Only 58%?
    seems like that's too much protein and fat for a carb load.

    Here was mine:

    Did my second 60-minute run today; actually a couple minutes over because I wanted to get to 5.5 miles. Average pace 11:15 so just a bit faster than last one. I was feeling so good running today. Just because. :smiley:

    My next run is another 60-minute run, and then the full 10k. I'm close!

    June goal: 24.55 / 50

    That's great!
