So today was my last long run before my full marathon. The pressure was really on since it was my last chance to get in a long run before I have to taper back. I was nervous that I was going to have a bad run and really “psych myself out”. So much of running a marathon is psychological –…

No Run 1/9/2009
Morning Everyone 🙂 Today is a rest day so I just took a short walk with the perros. I wanted to do more, but I had to be at work earlier than usual so I didn’t have time. I am planning to take a walk with the BF after work or go to yoga. I have so much to do today…

Eat 1/9/2009
Word up 🙂 I was craving a smoothie for breakfast this morning. It’s kind of random because it’s still so cold out here. I also had a piece of toast with pumpkin butter and half a Larabar.Since I missed oatmeal for breakfast I had super deluxe oats for lunch. They had oats, PB, raisins, Fiber One, brown sugar and the…

Vegan/Vegetarian Update – Not found
So, I didn’t find the article my friend was referring to, but I did find this old article : Vegetarian diet leads to weightloss I also found other articles that said that vegans seem to have a slightly higher metabolic rate than non-vegans (it doesn’t say how slightly). There is a lot of information that supports this idea out there, but…

I am just curious about it because she said it was very interesting and I can’t find it online. Hmmm. Let me know if you have…

Run 1/7/2009
I couldn’t decide if I wanted to run today or use it as a crosstraining day, but since I wasn’t sure if I could make it to yoga I ran 3.5 miles. I plan on walking the perros later and searching for a nearby yoga class. I am pretty new to yoga and have attended a few classes at a studio I…

As I mentioned previously my Florida trip got my Marathon Training off track. I have missed my key long run – the 20 miler! 20 miles is the longest distance I will be running before the full Mary. I reviewed a lot of training programs and most beginner marathon training plans require just 1 or 2 long runs of 18…
