Fearing eating solids ...

Feeling great after my first 5K. Ran it in a great time, too. So excited.

Joined a running group to train for a half marathon. If I am going to commit to this thing, I might as well go all in.

Nothing sounds good to eat, except jello, but I know I must progress. What to do ...

Ran 5K Sunday and WON my division! I don't know where this is coming from, but it sure is working for me. Woo Hoo Sleeve!

Ran an 8K Sunday and WON my age group! Placed 14th overall out of 241. Thank you sleeve!

Well, I am upping my effort and going to try for the full marathon this summer. I must be crazy ... but ... WTH!

Yes Ellie, I felt the same way. Just eat slowly. You have to re-learn what it means to be full. You are not going to get the same signals you had before. I start eating 10 minutes before my family and finish 10 mintes after. Just go slower. Your body will learn.
