I know I am little behind on my blogs. The truth is, they are sitting in a Word Document waiting for pictures and reduction, and I planned to re-write my whole blog but I have taken on other project that consume my time. I will continue to use this for a little bit longer. Once I have the Bear site up and running it will be time for my new blog, and my other idea to be reveled when I get to be 80% done :)
Anyway, I have decided that I am ready to eat right to run well instead of run to eat whatever I want. I have been gaining weight fairly consistent since my first marathon. I lost over 30 lbs when I started running and got to 120 and stayed there until just after my second marathon. I met my goal of qualifying for Boston and my focus went away. I then got into ultra, and well that doesn't help you loose weight. In fact you gain 10 lbs running ultras, I did anyway. I think it is because you have to eat while you are running instead of running every morning on an empty stomach. Long Story short, I am now sitting at 135. That is fat for an ultra runner. Problem is, I feel sexy and think I look good. Motivation to eat right was gone because I could still run well.
Today my running suffers and I think it is time for me to transition from being the fat ultra runner to a runner. I still am going to run ultras because that is what I like to do. I don't like running fast, but I like suffering. I can suffer for a long time and actually enjoy the suffering.
No amount of running is going to make me thin, when I live on a sea food diet. I am going to actually commit to eating right. I am also going to work on my core strength. There is a six pack in there waiting to come out.
Goodbye ice cream, pizza, candy, donuts, bagels, pasta with extra cream sauce, and pretty much everything I eat now. Hello, meat, vegtables, and fruits. I am going to pretend that my kidneys still don't function. That worked really well after my kidneys failed.
