Felt really good for a speed workout. Pressing a little more on these weekday workouts is really starting to payoff. Glad I made that change. And like I said the other day I am feeling more confident about my ability to complete the marathon in 3-4 months.
Diet & living with Diverticular disease
Well it has been mostly good for the last couple of weeks. I've gradually gotten better at meeting my calorie goals since the blockage issues a couple of weeks ago. And I have settled back into my required high fiber diet.
Which is the biggest thing about living with Diverticular disease. Gotta have that fiber! And not eat too big of meals. And I had let the fiber slide some, slipping into a bad habit of eating sweets that had no real good content.
My diet is a mix of things: I need that fiber (which does meet the Skinny Rules diet as well.) And I try to mix in some variety in my breakfasts, making sure I get in the extra protein on my running days. But I also consume higher and higher calories on my running days as my miles increase. Which is an almost unconscious thing that I really need to resist if at all possible.
It really is all the same thing really. The only difference is that I need to be sure that when I eat things like toast or a bagel before a run that I try to stick to the whole wheat and whole grain options.
