Frankly, I regret not training hard enough for this marathon. I was not motivated enough to be more disciplined in my running and not to mention eating. I ain't gonna lie, I was eating as if I had a free pass to eat whatever I wanted. I wasn't even putting in the miles necessary to have a great marathon.
After looking at my time for the 5K and my half marthon I am pissed. Post race photo's is another topic to be covered, but I ain't going to go there now. It's funny. After finishing up the last of my boards, I was just complaining of how bored I was with life. I'd come home, make dinner, watch tv, etc. I didn't have a goal to achieve. But, now! Oooooh, but now, I do!!! Yes!!! Does this mean the beginning of becoming obsessed with marathons?
I've already started eating a whole lot better. I vowed to not drink any diet soda's, just water. No more fried foods. Maybe I can sneak in a few fries here and there....hehe, hey I'm a girl! I
can't help it. But, really, no more fried foods. Just straight fiber, whole wheat, fruit, and oh yeah NO SUGAR!!!!! Ugh. With this new inspiration, I went ahead and got me a new look. I got bangs!!! I feel super Asian! Like, REALLY SUPER ASIAN with this new look.

The diet thing is really kind of a redherring. I mean it helps, but what helps the most is just putting in more miles. When I went from 25 to 25 miles per week, I saw *all* of my times drop multiple minutes.
Decide what your next goal race is, find a suitable training plan, and start putting in the miles! It's all about aerobic fitness - especially past 5K.
Isn't it insane how bangs can make you feel so much different?! Hope you're recovering well :)
Stacy.. first half is always a HUGE accomplishment. I'm really proud of you. Running gets addicting huh? I can't wait to run again! As far as eating goes.. portion control. I will never give up ice cream or my occassional In N Out!
