Me, I like my food to much to starve myself!!!
To lose 2lbs a week, which I think is the highest sensible target I should aim for, I need a deficit of 1000 calories per day, giving 1300.
Of course, the great thing about running is that it allows for extra chocolate/beer/Krug!
Not miffed at all as my charity page is flying already, and the race isn't until October! Thanks to all those wot has donated.
They come in very handy, I can tell you!
I tried on some jeans a couple of days ago that I haven't worn since last summer and I couldn't fasten them! So I'm clearly bulked up from all that carb loading for FLM. But a few weeks of sensible eating
and a bit more running should see to that.
The odd thing is, I've got two identifcal pairs of Gap jeans, same size, and one pair fits me with room to spare and the other pair practically cuts me in half! How can this be?
Like those trousers of mine that say 32" waist, but I'm sure are really 28".
How are you today?
:-)
Cup of tea, SVT?
<looks innocent>
Morning miffers united!
Or should I say afternoon? Nothing to be miffed about, as I had a lazy lie in followed by a gorgeous copious breakfast. I need to take in at least 2500 calories a day or I will faint, even though I have not run for two weeks. <still miffed about injury caused by mninicab>
Off for a nice cycle ride with my new man now, so look after yourself and catch you later.
Hopefully Dude will have been back by then with a PB for the thread trophy cabinet!
<Leaves remnants of breakfast for those who want it: fresh papaya and mango, caffelatte, cake, organic yoghurt, milk, cereal, pain au chocolat and pecan danishes, toast, real butter and organic honey and some chocomilk for those miffed later in the day>
welll.......despite torrential rain, mist and an annoying female equivalent of Mr Motivator barking aerobic orders at me as we waited for the off....
what a great day!
First two K? Lotta bunching and "oops i'm sorry" etc....lost a wee bit of time there and just about knocked a lady over who was holding an umbrella (apologies Miss Brodie).
two-five - started to stretch my legs a wee bittie and, despite one or two tough climbs felt like, you, know...like a proper runner
new top made me look almost athletic....very clever trick that, must be in the fabric.
A big squad of us (I was running with the Scottish Sikhs for a bit) cantered down the Leith Walk and past the Scottish parliament, which still looked mightily impressive pokin out from between the drizzle.
o, then the climb up the side of Arthur's Seat (michty me). Twas a struggle to maintain pace but there were jungle drums a-beating from the top, which was a nice touch, and a sense of achievement at the top.
Windy (as in twists and turns, not gusts) from then on. Disappointed at the lack of support in Edinburgh, but not really surprised. Tis a silly place filled with miserable people (Glasgow's smiles better
Ran for a bit beside Scott Hastings (hero!) which was groovy and got a decent cheer (and a wolf-whistle from a red-haired lassie (better than any medal in the world) just before the final stretch as I gathered a wee bit of pace for the sprint finish and tried to ignore my sore foot.
but alas....
47-somethin
Bravo Braveheart Dude!
..and you got the wolf whistle
(..she's not the red head from the gym is she..
..Hopefully...)

<gets out saw and widens doorways of dude's house>
I thought what a great race report too ST
!
Enjoy your Crabbies Dude :0) ))
at the risk of sounding like Terry Wogan, I've opened a bottle of Pinot Grigio...so please help yourselves!
How did the lasagne party go ST ?
Lagasne party went well. Good to see our friends again and their two boys had great fun on the trampoline. Plenty veggie lasagne left over, if anyone wants some?
How's your day been?
wimped out of a run this evening
Tired this week
:0(
What's your next big race post FLM..or is it take it easy time
Sips pinot G
(where I ran this morning) at bank holiday weekend, so might get both junior STs to enter with me.
Legs felt very heavy running today, though. Sluggish. Hope I feel better than this next week or I'll be walking most of the Dereham race!!
It's only 2 weeks since FLM so I suppose you ae bound to be tired still.
Perhaps you need a drop of Krug
;0)
