    I ran my first Half Marathon race today. I felt pretty good about my time of 1:52. My goal was 1:55. I had a lot of help from my friends and a pace leader. Maybe later this year I'll shoot for 1:50 or an optimistic 1:45 or better. I'll need to lose a little more weight or start incorporating a few long tempo runs into my routine. I usually run no more than 6 miles when I workout, and I could definitely feel when I crossed over my comfort level today. Thanks Cooriander for maintaining this group! I'm sure I would not have broke 2 hours without the inspiration I get from this group every month!

    So...

    Yesterday I ran 8.6 miles, or so I believed, and today I ran 8.8 miles. Except, it was the exact same path. This made me somewhat curious so I decided to measure the path on a map. It was neither 8.6 nor 8.8 miles, it was in fact 7.02. It seems my perfectly calibrated pedometer is not so perfectly calibrated after all. For every mile I thought I ran, it was actually 0.8 miles. Stupid pedometer lying straight to my face. I have to assume it has been wrong this whole time, so instead of being at 102 miles for the month I am only at 89. This sucks!

    My Garmin has a problem like that, but it errors in the opposite direction. I ran an official 13.1 mile race today and my watch had me finishing only 12.3 miles. I realized my watch was goofy about 3 months ago. So, now I map all my runs so I know what I'm doing. I did gain one benefit from it though. It made me improve my pace, since it had me believing I was running slower. I can't wait to get a better watch.

    April10 - 4 miles
    April 11 - 8 miles

    Question for those of you who run 100 miles plus, do you worry at all about what you eat or are you able to pretty much eat what you want because you run so much?

    I worry about what I eat...I just lost 26 lbs, have 1 more to go to hit goal weight...if I ate what I wanted because I run, i would still be 26 lbs heavier! I do eat more carbs than I ever did...50% of my macros, it keep me fueled for long runs...but stay within my calorie allowance, and do eat back at least 1/2 of what I burned...
