Daily Life, Running, Eating

My Aunt and Uncle got me a George Foreman grill for christmas, so I've been using it every day for lunch, which is a chicken breast (comes frozen) - they're actually quite good, filling and very healthy! I was surprised at how easy it was for me to eat better and healthier with just a single meal (I don't get hungry etc afterwards.)

I started at target of 2200 cal a month, then dropped it to 1800, then to 1400. As I slowly tapered it, I was hoping to hit my "break point" and think that I hit it at 1200 calories on my attempted 10k run yesterday. I just crashed big time at the 8k mark. I knew it was coming ,so I looped back after 4k so I could make it to my car without walking.

I DID run a half marathon last Thursday. I saw on Wiki that people tend to train for 3 months for that. Well....I sorta off the couched it. Ran a three days doing progressive runs (and some multi-run days) - then just did it! I'm hoping to work my way up to a Marathon, maybe in march...we'll see...
