I “officially” started the training program for my half
marathon this week and put in 7 miles. I’m pretty excited about my training,
right now. My rib was still bugging me
on my short runs this week so I went and got another adjustment at the
chiropractor again, on Friday. I really felt a difference at my race on
Saturday, so I’m glad I went.
I also had a follow up appointment with the nutritionist at
Max Muscle to discuss the eating plan he recommended. Since I came up with my
own meal plan, and stopped losing weight after the first 2 weeks, I knew I
needed to have him look it over and see what I should change. Basically, his
thoughts were that I was just retaining water because my sodium was too high.
His suggestion was to increase my potassium, reduce my sodium and carbs a
little more, and then keep everything else the same, but make sure that I was
actually hitting 1900+ calories per day. It’s still been a struggle on that
last part. 1900 calories is a lot when my body only feels hungry for the first
1500. We’ll see how it goes. I go back in 2 weeks to discuss how it went.
Saturday was the St. Patrick’s Day 5k race, which was awesome.
I got a PR, and I didn’t walk at all. It felt so good to be able to do that
again. It’s been over a year since I have run an entire 5k without stopping.
I got my "easy" 2 mile run in on Sunday, and that went just fine, too :)
