hi guys...

well i did it, i walked/ran 9 miles today (just to see if i could do it in preparation for the Minnie Marathon in 2 weeks)... i had a relatively OK pace... 16:03 minute mile overall - fastest mile was about 14ish... i need to push harder, but that's another matter... :thumbup:

so i did 9.1x miles come home and am STARVING ... like about to gnaw off DH's arm while the Water was boiling. fixed some Pasta for lunch (i've never had a problem with pasta before) made an effort to eat slowly and chew the crap out of my food ... after 3-4 bites or so i was done...

it's been stuck ever since (going on 5 hours)... i've PB'd til my throat hurts and i still feel 'stuck', yet im soo hungry... (burned almost 1700 calories during my walk/run and ate 1/2 a bar - 100ish cals - for b'fast)...

i'll be on liquids for the rest of the night due to my PB, and i'll take mushies tomorrow.

i guess im just typing to type ... anyone else have this happen? thoughts?

I'm so jealous! I want to do that! AHHHHH!

Granted, out of the 3.25 mile loop that I run, I've got maybe half of that running... maybe I need to up the ante a little...

I do get a LITTLE tighter after a hard workout, but it's almost never bad enough to where I can't eat.

Good luck! That's so awesome!

Oh I always get late to the conversation.

Drink while you are running regardless of your thirst. It's hard to catch up when banded. I've seen runners with belts that hold many little bottles of Water. I'm guess that's so they can evenly distribute the weight they are carrying on their bodies. No?

Cliff makes Cliff Blocks you might want to chew/suck on.

I'm working myself up to a 100 mile bike ride in two weeks. They suggest we stop every 25 to fuel up.

BTW, I'm so excited for your run! I don't see distance running on my horizon, no more than a 10K, you are a ROCK STAR in my book!

thanks Juli,

dont feel much like a rock start right now ...

but, tomorrow is another day, right?

i do have a belt and it has room for a Water bottle, but i just wasnt thirsty during my 9-miler... **shrug** i will make myself drink and eat (splurging on sour cherry jellie bellies) during the race... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

best of luck on your 100 miles... i cant even fathom that long on a bike!!!

Do eat during the race, it makes a huge difference. I find a gel after 10km really gets me going again. And yes, of course, drink regularly.

I only get tight when I stop.

I did 67 miles yesterday and it was a little over 5 hours. I need to bike faster/smarter.

I love it though!

I can't imagine running for more than an hour. You get my respect.

Holy Moly 67miles! WOW!

You are so my hero. wow 67 miles. *speechless*

i get really tight after pilates---I go at night and then after I can eat anything!--and I am really hungery----but then for 2 days I can't get anything in other than liquids!--I was wondering if it had to do with working the abs?---I only go 1 or 2 per week so far---should I go more?---I can't run or anything like that --I have bad knees and legs---pilates is the only thing I like----and hopefully i won't have to have a tummy tuck----but not being able to eat makes my DH crazy--he gets really worried and just starts makeing any kind of soup---

would a mucle relaxer help?
