The race is over, now what?

Well, I ran 13.1 miles on Saturday.  My third half marathon in 3 years.  I ran it in 2 hours, 29 minutes.  Just 2 minutes SLOWER than last year. 

My pre-race weight was 173.5 -- exactly the same as last year's. 

However, post-race, I was not quite as indulgent.  I slept more and ate less -- though I did have a fabulously good meal on Saturday evening. 

As such, my weight today is 174. 

Only a half pound gained as I focus on balance. 

How has my weight been?

I was at 172.5 yesterday and 171.5 today... I should hit my target of 171 by Saturday (or Friday) just in time to be the lightest I've been before a half marathon.

Pizza and Cookies...

mean a weigh-in of 174 this morning.

Yep, an office lunch can ruin your weight maintenance plan... Fortunately, I'm running a 5K tomorrow, so hopefully, that'll help me...

But... that third piece of pizza...bad news!

Today's post...

I weigh 173

yep. Still hanging out there... 1 week and 2 days away from the race... and of course, I've got a 5K on Saturday... we'll see if I hit 171

soon.

Can exercise help with allergies?

YES!

Because, according to RealAge it: "enhances mood, sleep, immunity, and energy levels"...so sure, it won't make you NOT allergic -- but it will make your symptoms much more tolerable.

My weight today...

173

Still hovering in the 172-173 range. Running a 5K saturday... we'll see.

My Weight Today is...

172.5

I'm moving toward my race day weight of 171.
