Half Marathon Training

So today is day 4 of half marathon training. So far so good. Although I wasn't expecting anything less. I've had two runs, a rest day, and today I went to a body pump class class followed by a 3 mile walk. I'm more worried for when the long runs (LR) start that I'll fall off the wagon.

I did beat my mile time (since college) I was faster in high school, but there are some things I'm happy to leave behind in the old high school days- I was the awkward kid, actually I'm still awkward, but now I'm okay with that. I really need to review my diet to fuel my running. These 3-4 milers are no big deal. When I up the miles to 7-12, that'll take a toll on my energy level if I don't watch it.

It's not just about eating less or more, it's about eating the right foods. Although that's true of everyday life. You're body gives you back what you put into it. Good foods= feeling good, and same thing with crap food. Too bad I love the crap foods. That's actually how they decide if foods are healthy or not, if I like it or not. Jokes. But really why does all the crap taste amazing and healthy food takes some serious work to taste good? I'm not a cook. I hate cooking (I love baking, convenient right?). so keeping a good nutritious diet is really hard.

I've got breakfast and lunch down, but dinner is my least favorite meal. And I don't really know how to prepare or decide what to eat. That's my goal in the next month. Finding and trying out recipes. Stocking up on some dinner foods, and experimenting. Here goes nothing. I'll update (hopefully with pictures but let's not overly excited) and maybe I'll have some exciting recipes to share!

Have a good Thursday everyone!
