The first long run of the new training is complete, thank goodness. It was a long one but it wasn’t really too bad. The bottoms of my feet are a little tender but no blisters, YES!!!! It was tough getting up today but I had to, I’m glad I did it. My eating went well all week long with the exception of Monday due to all the grilling being done. Notice I say eating and not diet, diet sounds like a punishment so I prefer eating. I made sure to eat every three hours so that I kept my energy up all day. I never felt too hungry and I consumed a lot less calories. So far everything is going well.
