The miles are starting to build, where I used to have to push to get 3 miles on a weekday, and 5 was a goal for my weekend long run, now I am pushing 4 on my weekday runs, and I cracked 6.5 miles on my long run this past weekend! 20+ miles in a week is becoming the norm. It feels so good to see and type those numbers. I can feel myself getting stronger, and know that I can do even more so long as I stick to the plan.
On other news, the meal plan is working pretty well. I mostly stuck to the goal of no eating at the coach or my desk, making a point to separate my meals from the rest of my life. It's too early to tell if it is sticking for the long term, but it does feel right.
Also, I have been battling something lately. It almost feels like an obstruction again, but the feeling only comes after a big meal, and eases off after I move around some and drink some fluids. One obvious solution is to not eat big meals. But the other lesson is that it is possible that maybe my body is adjusting to the miles, and is seeking a different equilibrium as far as appetite. All I know it that I will be careful about the eating and try to lighten up a little on my cheat days.
