    Sub 2 hour marathon with no water or fueling and almost 1000 feet of elevation. You know, that sub 4 marathon might actually be doable. I really need to find time for some actual long runs though.
    um.... unofficial World Record?

    Yep! :lol::lol:

    Meant 1/2 of course.

    So unplanned rest day for me. Had errands to run (EVERYWHERE IS OUT OF GF SUGAR COOKIE MIX WTF!) and I have this twinge in my ankle/leg. It was super painful yesterday going up an incline/walking fast. Much better today but trying to rest it a bit more.

    Today's notes: Today's assignment was 1 hour easy road run. Since we had mommy/daddy date last night, I slept in this morning. Finally got to my run at 1945 this evening. Went out as the first snow was falling for the winter weather advisory we have. Went out there and got in just about 6.7 miles in my hour, for an 8:55 pace. I ended up with something a little harder than an easy run, but it felt good so that's what matters.

    Hope everyone had a Runderful day!

    Man... I need to stop tracking calories. It is depressing. Ran 13 miles... and still was not enough to burn off dinner at Red Robin last night! :lol:

    @PastorVincent sorry but eating out is the issue. The only way to eat out is to plan the meal. Like Red Robin has this fantastic Avocobbo salad and the calorie total is reasonable.(You can even get away with eating some fries) The other option at Red Robin is to skip the bun. Most of their burgers are very tasty on a lettuce wrap. The same type of meal made at home is usually half the calories.
    So its a few hours after my run and my calf is indeed sore. I was planning an elliptical run for Friday, I'm considering a rest day or at least reducing the intensity of the exercise.

    I did plan the meal - as in I planned to go stuff my face with bottomless fries and Red Robin Gourmet burger with Gluten Free bun. There are only so many options I have when I eat out so, I pick based on that limited set.

    I guess I will just have to see if I can fit another 13 miles in today :lol:

    I just eat reasonably healthy, my nutritionist doesn't want me to count calories unless I gain or lose weight.

    So true! I love Red Robin. We go once or twice a month. And I can eat their fries! There's so few places I can have fries that I will eat them when I get a chance. Plus, I don't really eat salads and I hate when I think I've found a new place to eat, only to find out their gf options are.... salad. :s
