I ran 12 miles yesterday.  It was hard to get through it, but I did!

about 1200 cals

Sat- ran 12 miles (1200 cals)

Mon - ran 4 miles (400 cals)

Tues - ran 4 miles (400 cals)

Wed - ran 4 miles (400 cals)

m0m6, that's no fun!

I have been so busy lately, I've been slacking on these forums, but I need to get back into it.  I've been exercising, but my eating is in the toilet.  I need to step it up and lose like 5-7 pounds....ugh.  Tomorrow is my 12 mile run, so I need to eat right today so that I can feel good while running and not awful!

ljrunner, that's amazing that you still run with fybromyalgia.

I just ran Baltimore last October and I loved it!  I have also run St. George, Utah twice, Top of Utah once, and Salt Lake City once.

I want to do Baltimore again next fall.

What training program are you following?  Do you have a time goal?  I did one of the Hal Higdon training programs for my last three.  I found that worked really well with a busy schedule and I still did good for me.

I ran 4 miles on Mon, Tues, and today.

lj-good luck running the 16!  I've run 5 marathons, but I haven't done Pittsburgh, sounds fun.

4 miles today ~ about 400 calories.

Today I ran 11 miles and burned about 1100 calories. 

I wanted to do 12, but I got off to a late start this morning...maybe next Saturday my long run will go better and as planned.  The good news is that my heel seems to be doing a lot better!

Today ~ 4 miles on treadmill, about 400 calories

weights for 20 minutes, about 100 calories

My heel felt better today on the treadmill...yeah!!!

I ran 4.2 miles again, which is about 400 calories.  I totally intended to get to the gym and do eliptical and weights, but woke up too late once again, so hopefully my heel will be ok for my long run.

I take Fridays off and then have to try and fit a 12 mile run in on Saturday.  I hope my heel can handle it this time.

I have done a decent job of sticking to my calories and I think that actually helps my heel when I weigh less.....more motivation to stick to plan.

OK, so I know I said I was going to take off of running for a week, but this morning I woke up and my heel felt a lot better.  I decided to go out for a slow, 10 minute pace run and no faster.  I ran 4 miles and I think that's about 400 calories.  I felt soooo good afterwards!

My heel did hurt a tiny bit after, but not too bad, so I'm thinking gym tomorrow and then hopefully run again on Thursday.

Today I managed to get in 12 miles, but I had to walk about 3 miles of it.  I hope my heel gets better soon.  I've tried taking some time off of it, but I tend to go crazy without exercise.  Anyway, at least I got 12 in, even if I had to walk part.

I did pretty good yesterday with my calories too.  I'm hoping to do the same today and get more fiber and protein in.

I've had about 950 calories so far today and I still have to plan dinner.  I'm thinking it will have to be a light dinner.

Yes, I need to get back on track!  I gained about 5 pounds over the holidays and if I don't do something about it I will keep gaining.  It doesn't help that my foot is now injured, so jogging isn't working out so well.  I need to really keep track of what I'm eating, though.  I'm motivated to get back down.

I'm currently 5'2" and 129 pounds (yikes!)  I want to get back to about 125 or 124.

I would try and figure it out with the doctor.  It sounds like he's not getting the proper nutrition and perhaps this makes him uncomfortable and unable to sleep well.  Or maybe there is something else going on.  Does he have other health problems?  Ear infections, throat infections?  Anything that would cause him enough pain to wake him?
