Georges Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Monday: Just over on calories. The scale tells me that I screwed up worse than I'd thought on the half marathon, wrong mix of fuel/H2O/electrolytes.Looking back, that should probably have been obvious... and when someone pointed out that I wasn't dripping with sweat, I should have DNF'd.(Instead, I finished, almost-but-not-quite-last, and thought I was recovering nicely from the heat stress until I puked hours after the race.) My arms hurt. My legs hurt. My entire core hurts. I am very glad it's a rest day. Re-hydrating, re-fueling, and hoping my kidneys forgive me. Maybe a recovery walk tomorrow, if the rain cools the temperature down. Maybe no more summer races until I drop some weight. Quote This used to be where my weight loss progress bar was.

Georges Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Race Report, because that's what people do: The weather report made me think it was going to be a pleasant temperature with low humidity. It was much hotter than I expected, and less breezy than I'd hoped. My race prep was inadequate - I forgot to pack my daily allergy med, had to use my inhaler in the middle of the night, went to bed not feeling entirely full, didn't pack breakfast, didn't have time for coffee, and brought too much gaterade (and no water). I skipped sunscreen, but that actually didn't turn into much of a sunburn problem. I started at the back - there's a bit of a bottleneck at the beginning, and I didn't want to be part of the problem. I thought there were fewer than 20 people behind me, but I got passed by a lot more than that, so there must have been some late starters or runners in the portable toilets or something. I settled in at a pace slightly slower than I thought I could maintain for the whole time, and picked my own personal pacer (that is to say, I totally stalked a runner who looked steady and confident and happened to be about 30 feet ahead of me). I started to feel like I was working too hard before the first mile marker, so I took it easy on the hills. I was going through a lot of drink, too, and feeling too warm. I slowed a little more. I'm not sure if I stopped sweating completely or not, but something wasn't right with my hydration. At about half way, I decided I could finish, as long as I didn't get pulled off the course for taking too long. But by that time, I was already trudging (you know, that pace you hit when you're just running because it will all be over sooner than if you walk?) and every time I checked my watch, I realized I was pretty close to the cut off time... and by pretty close, I mean just over. So, I finished. I didn't actually make the "strictly enforced" time limit, but I think they didn't worry about it after the last runner was off the streets and onto the trail that was the last part of the race. Technically a PR, as I've never done a half marathon before, at 3:21:04 (15:20 min/mile). Damage Report: Chafing on my thighs and a little on my back. One painless blister. Painless sunburn. Sore muscles. Threw up about 6 hours after, and was 3+ pounds under normal the morning after. What's Next? I have another half marathon lined up for October 5. It should be cooler then, and I have over 2 months to lose weight and do some speedwork.Without having to put so much of my weekend time into a long run, I'm thinking about what else I'd like to be doing - BBW, cycling, maybe even some swimming?I'll be figuring out goals for the next six week challenge, and battle logging until then. Tuesday: Glad to report that I am less sore instead of more sore.Guts & Kidneys seem happy enough again, so no damage done. 2nd recovery day - included a 1.5 mile walk. 1 Quote This used to be where my weight loss progress bar was.

Georges Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Tuesday Plan:Family visit day. Don't overeat. Stay hydrated.Get enough laundry done so I can work out again someday.Spend less time worrying about things. I was doing okay at managing my weird food/water/travel issues. Then the water ran out. So I reviewed my options, picked one, and drank iffy water. Seems to have worked out okay.Got laundry washed & hung up.Worried. Maybe less, maybe not. Today (Wednesday) is an odd day. Still working on a plan. (later)Odd because after a late(r than usual) night, I had to get out of bed first thing and bring a kittycat to her appointment, with people who were running late, so the trip took a lot longer than expected. Late with coffee. Morning all thrown off routine.Still didn't come up with a plan. Worrying about kittycat all day. Headache (prolly from not enough sleep). Thinking about the next 6 week challenge. I think there will be some focus on job searching (although it's not as stressful as it was when I had no job, it's still hard to buckle down and do it). I know there will be some cardio - mostly running, maybe some cycling. I know there will be bodyweight stuff. I suspect there will be food stuff. One thing I'm thinking about a lot is who I spend time with (both online and in meat space)and whether those people are the ones I want influencing who I am/becoming. Another is my recent tendency to not follow through on things, whether it's promised to myself or others. I know that I also still have a lot of work to do on my relationship with food, as well as my self-image. Anyway, that's just what's on my mind today.

Then I thought about the realistic recovery time for a first time half marathon. It's time for me to start running again, but I don't think I took too long away. Thanks for the perspective - It took a while to realize how far I backslid over the weekend (race pictures were really hard to look at), but it's time to consider how far I've come since starting again, and look towards the future. 1 Quote This used to be where my weight loss progress bar was.

Georges Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Preliminary Challenge Thoughts I just saw a returning Rebel posting in the level one forum. I think I am going to do so as well. I'd already erased my character stats, because they don't reflect where I'm at. It's time to face the fact that I'm not the Rebel in that profile pic anymore, and if I want to get back to that level, or even further, there's a lot of work to re-do.

Georges Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Blargh. This schedule I'm on now is sucking my productivity away. I don't want to work out or run after work, and I can't get out of bed any earlier. Need to account for itin the new challenge. Tentatively:M = bodyweightT = run or bikeW = bodyweightR = the new rest day? F = bodyweightS = run, bike, or walk (when long run gets long again)S = Looooong run. Other things to plan for:Mr.Georges away @end of week 1. Make sure I eat right, do a long run or bike ride while it doesn't take away time together.family visit @ end of week 2. Don't overeat/snack. Do bring sunscreen, bug spray, and swim goggles. Use all three.family trip end of week 6 (cousin's wedding). Hydrate. Pack running bag. Have a food plan. Be mindful of altitude change. I'm not letting anything that I should have planned for get in my way! Quote This used to be where my weight loss progress bar was. Maybe it will be here again when I'm ready to face the scale and work on my fat problem.
