Changing this years goal

So I'm changing this years plans, still running the…

Running NSV
So I've been running since Sept. training for a 1/2 marathon in June. Today I went out and ran the13.1 miles in 2hrs and 10minutes!!! This is huge for me. Last year at this time I couldn't run across the street without being winded. At first I wasn't sure I could run the distance but after today it's all positive. So now I…

Extra calories earned?
I'm sure this has been covered before but I am fairly new to the site. How do most of you handle the extra calories earned from exercise. With my goal settings I'm basically consuming 1000 less calories than what I burn for a normal days activity. I haven't been using the extra calories earned as I feel it defeats the…
