I have exciting news! I just ran my fastest:
- 1 mile - 8 min 53 sec
- 3 miles - 29 min 11 sec
- 5k - 30 min 39 sec
I have been noticing that it takes about a month for me to make strong improvements in my times and distances. I just have to keep doing it. I'm thinking about running every morning instead of just every other day. Any pros or cons that anyone knows about doing that? Is it better to give your body a day of rest? It might help me regulate my sleeping patterns better. hmm I guess you can only try.
Weigh day #40 came and gone without improvement. I'm so tired of being stuck here! It's a huge uphill battle. I start to get up over the hump and then I slide right back down.

I will tell you my real problem. FOOD. I have a love hate relationship with food. I love to eat it, but I hate what it does to my body. When I'm stressed and I don't have time to run I eat. And life is pretty stressful right now. AHHHH I have to stop eating but I don't want too! HELP
SO I created a list of my 25 favorite snacks 60 calories or less! Why so low? Because when you can only eat 1200 calories a day you cannot waste calories on snacks. So here it is!
- Motivation: The sun was shining!
- Listening to: A new mix I made called Running.. I say it like Charlie Sheen says winning! Running!
- Thankful for: Seeing Trenton and Jami Little driving out of the park!
Route and Stats:
So because I ran the first few miles so quickly I knew I wasn't going to be able to keep up the pace because it almost killed me therefore I did 2 work outs. The 4th mile obviously killed my average for the work out.
SO I ran for a total distance of 5.1 miles and a time of 57 min 39 sec
Nicee. I haven't jogged five miles in MONTHS. =/ I have to work up to it or I get stress fractures in my feet....could be that I need new running shoes too. Love the list of low calorie snacks! I'll have to keep a list like that in my kitchen when I get home. :)
