Man....I really was too tight. Probably for about a month and a half if I am honest with myself. I have been training for the 1/2 marathon at the end of February and my training dropped off dramatically in the last month or so. Mainly because when I would run, I just didn't have the energy to go very far. It was getting harder instead of easier. Don't get me wrong, nothing about this trianing has been easy BUT, I really feel that because I was so tight, I was not getting enough calories in to fuel my body. Which resulted in me not being able to improve my time or sustain the progress that I had. Since the deflation, I have been keeping my calories at 1100 calories and have been KILLING it at the gym and on the trails. So, lesson learned. It is still hard, I am having to do a lot more meal and snack planning to outsmart the hunger that comes every 2 hours or so, but I already know how to do that. :)
So take a lesson from me! Tighter isn't always better. :)
Oh and PS - Tonight, the woman on the treadmill next to me flipped off backwards and even though I wanted to laugh, I didn't. (I laugh at inappropriate times, you do too. Don't deny it!) So be cafeful ladies, and while I may laugh if you fall, I will always help you back up!!!!

Wow that was a treadmill fail! I laugh at innapropriate times and when I get nervous too! I think it's human nature! Awesome work on the planning!
So glad your training is going better. OMG! I'd laugh but I just know karma would come back to bite me in a$$ if I did.
I could watch treadmill falls all day on YouTube. I laugh at the worst times, at funerals, weddings, it's a curse. Glad to know you're feeling better!
