over it

This is what I learned this round... don't marathon train and diet at the same time.
For me it is impossible to consume only 1500 calories a day while running more than 25 miles a week. I'm swimming twice a week (a mile swim each time) and I'm running 4 times a week. Yesterday's 24 mile run almost killed me because I had not eaten enough the day before. I've gained weight (Jackie... for the record I'm at 172) and am up 7 pounds from when we started round two and when I started training for San Diego.

However, I'm not going to beat myself up. Today I put on a pair of crop cargos that were tight on me last summer. They are fitting quite nicely, thank you very much. Although I still have a long way to go, I am more toned. I am cardiovascularly more fit than I have been in my entire life. In five weeks I'm running a marathon. I know the scale says I'm clinically overweight, but tell that to my legs as they cross the finish line
