Sunday, weigh-in and run
Ugh, horrible run today. I did my 10 miles, but at a fairly slow pace, and with two walk breaks, and two full stop breaks (plus a bathroom pit stop, but I don't have to count those, lol). I should be able to go straight through! I just felt doped...maybe 'cause I haven't been eating enough? Or eating the right stuff? I dunno. We'll see if it's a trend.
Weigh-in Sunday: 149 (-1 from last week)
Food success for the day: made whole wheat pizza crusts for the week, a batch of chili for my lunches, and blended up some hummus (first time trying that) to dip carrots into for the next couple of days. Yay me!
I don't know quite how many calories to budget for days where I do my long runs. In theory I'm going for 1500-1800 on normal days. Sparkpeople says I burned around 1000 and my GPS says 1200. I ate about 2500 today. That sounds like a lot, but it's less than "normal + expenditures". I dunno. I suppose I should ask the marathon training group on Sparkpeople, or LJ...
