Wendy's Hamburger + Running = BLA!

Just in case anyone out there needs to know: Eating a Wendy's hamburger and then going running does NOT mix well. I went running about 2 hours after eating it but still. I felt like my stomach was sick and I was having indigestion too! I should've known. I should've gone running when I went to the park this afternoon. Oh well. Lessons learned.

I can't believe the half marathon is in almost a week!!
I'm a little nervous.
I'm going to be really glad when it's over.
I'm still going to run after the half is over. It might take me a couple weeks but I'll be back :)

P.S. Why is it that I've been running so much and eating well and STILL NOT losing weight? It's pretty annoying. I'm still not to my pre-pregnancy weight and I'm pretty flustered. I know I've said in the past that everyone's different but really? Geez!

10 miles!

Yep, I ran ten miles on Friday! It was hard. We (my sis & I) ran 5 miles then took some gu (one each) then we ran some more until about 7 miles and I hit the wall! It was terrible. I felt like I couldn't go anymore. So we walked for a couple minutes until we got to 8 miles and then took another gu each. We ran some more and by the time we were done with our run I was on fire! I had SO much energy. I felt so good. I felt like I could run another few miles still. So, it was a good trial run for the half-marathon which is in 2 weeks!! I think for the half I will take the gu at 3 miles, 6 miles, and then see if I need another at 9 miles. The gu seemed to take a little longer to work than I thought it would. Anyway, so things are going good, still on track. And I'll be honest in that I can't wait for this to be over. I just feel so much pressure to perform! It'll be nice to walk during the week and run just one day a week.

I hope everyone else is doing well!

10-12 miles

Tomorrow I'm supposed to run 10-12 miles. EEK! I'm pretty sure I can do it. I might pee my pants but I can do it. I have been running 3 days a week every week since my last post and doing good. A couple saturday's ago my sissy a.k.a. running partner and I ran 8 miles at once! It was pretty intense! I felt like I was going to die so we'll see how tomorrow goes.

In weight loss news I've stayed pretty steady at the same weight for a while...I don't quite understand but maybe it's a combination of eating more food than the average person, gaining muscle from running, and who knows what.

Anyway, ugh, I guess I'll go to bed early tonight.
