I do try to eat well, but I am certainly not (in any way, shape or form) a super healthy eating person. I eat at McDonald's and we have Mexican food. I LOVE sweets and have been told on more than one occasion I run because I like to eat. It really boils down to calories in...calories out-regarding weight. Now, I do try to eat halfway healthy most of the time simply because of training and how I feel when I eat better. When I eat better, my training goes better. I am tuned enough to know how I feel when I run is a direct result of what I've eaten. As far as acholol is concerned, yes we drink, on a social basis. We have a kegarator downstairs and also Doug makes his own wine, so it's certainly something that is around the house.<br /><br />I don't follow a particular schedule, and like I've mentioned before, Doug was a Team In Training coach not so long ago and I follow that type of training and then tweak it to fit what I'm training for. I usually run 3 times a week. Two times during the week, usually Tuesday and Thursday (not back to back days and then my long run on Saturdays. The other days I cross train. Right now I've JUST started training for a Half Ironman so there will be a lot more focus on my swimming and particually my biking, but I'll still keep running 3 times a week.<br /><br />Does that make any sense? I feel I have rambled. Do you feel you're overtraining? I would think if you trained properly for your half, you should be recovered by now. Since I'm a slow back of the pack runner and don't take my running too seriously and certainly not a natural, I sometimes think that some of the training schedules out there are too extensive for beginners.<br /><br />What sort of training are you doing? I'm not familiar with the schedule you mentioned. How are your ankles and feet feeling now?Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860359512505828586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853987523090091382.post-39596801088063470932009-05-25T22:57:17.647-04:002009-05-25T22:57:17.647-04:00hey girl thanks for your comment.

How many miles do you h...How often are you running?<br />How many miles do you have on your shoes?<br /><br />I had knee issues for a while before I ran my first marathon. During my first marathon is when everything broke down. I got a little over halfway and I couldn't run anymore because my knee was killing me. Then...darn it...my ankle killed me. So, after the marathon I went and saw a chiropractor. He is the best thing that's ever happened to my running. I honestly would not be running if it was not for him. You may want to seek out a good chiro (cuz there are plenty of flaky chiros out there), make sure you get a good one.<br /><br />Concrete...all the time...ick. You poor thing. First thing would be to make sure you're shoes are not worn out. Usually when I start feeling achy, my first thought goes to my shoes to see if I need to replace them. They say you can usually get around 400-500 miles out of your shoes, I normally switch mine out anywhere from 300-400.<br /><br />If you're not in to chiros and would rather see a doctor, make sure you see one that understand runners. If you go to a doctor that doesn't understand runners and runners issues, you are more apt to hear, "just quit running". Well that doesn't work for most runners.<br /><br />Let me know if you have any more questions! And happy 5 months 1 day anniversary. Have a great time at Cold Play this weekend.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860359512505828586noreply@blogger.com
