I ran 5 miles on the mill this morning. Today's goal was speed. I worked up to an 8:00 pace for 2 miles and then ran three miles at a 7:30 pace. Total time was 45 minutes after cool down. It felt good overall. No complaints...other than I wish I had time to run more.
Despite my efforts to eat healthy during the day, my late-night snacking is reeking havoc on my diet. I've been trying to add more rest days in my running schedule so as not to over train, but I forget that I need to adjust my caloric intake accordingly. Less running means less need for excess calories. I know Runner's World has some great articles on what to eat while training for a marathon. Perhaps I'll investigate and get some tips on what to eat as well as how not to over eat before/after my runs.
