Medium run, 6 miles, 1:07:45; splits 10:03, 12:21, 11:16, 10:13, 11:38, 12:15.<\/p>\n

Hazy & cloudy with the sun just starting to break through. Nothing remarkable about the run. Afterwards I walked another 5 miles doing my trash pickup<\/a>, so a high energy-expenditure day.<\/p>\n

It’s too bad I’ve gained some weight back–not a big deal and that’s not any part of my goal, but I know that each pound less on marathon day makes a difference. Carrying one pound 26.2 miles takes a certain amount of energy. But my body’s set-point has been 120-125 for so long that it’s really hard to bring it down. I stuck to the no junk food rule faithfully for a while, and I’m still doing well, but it’s hard to avoid eating just a little too much anyway. I am hungrier! But I only burn about 80 calories per mile. The frustrating thing is that 115 seems to be a magic number at which I suddenly feel much better (more energy, more muscle tone). Well, it’ll happen or it won’t–my focus is still just sticking to my schedule and crossing that finish line!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
