Wow, it's been awhile since I've written. Time certainly flies!
I'm less than 2 weeks away from the Rhinebeck Half. I've been training diligently and unfortunately gaining some weight in the process but I'm not really surprised. I always do when I train. I'm at 183 today. I ended up being most comfortable at 174 and I plan to get back down there when the race is done but honestly, I'm still comfortable, I would just feel a little better a little lighter.
The training and doing weights and cross training has really made a difference in my body. I wear a size 6 in one my pairs of jeans! That's completely insane to me. I have never been that size. I know pant sizes are never consistent but still...
I'm up to 9 miles in my training and I will be running 10 miles in a couple of days. The running has been very challenging at times but it always is. The one bad thing I've run into on my last 2 longer runs was low blood sugar attacks. The timing of when they happened was different for each one and I was emailing with a nutritionist from the bariatric runner group on FB. I basically need to eat more and more consistently. I'm definitely going to work on that. :)
