FS, bravo for the willpower you exercised today! One little thing like that everyday, just one, and you will see the pounds disappear. But it's not not like you have a lot to lose. In fact, I really don't know why you worry about that. You look great already!
6 recovery miles done, 8:51 pace. HIp was good, legs were nimble. It was my PF heel that bothered me this time. Damned rusty body.

Go figure
My spur light came today, it is a nice looking piece of equipment! Do you blink or stay steady?
Trying to find some more hay to restock the barn
I go steady...it makes me feel like a pimped out Caddie with ground effects.
I thought the same thing, and besides, nothing about me is intermittent.
Choices like that add up. Hopefully you also avoided the bag of chips, and got your sandwich without cheese, oil or mayo.
Now you're talking crazy...

Thanks Julie.
My subway sandwich - 6 inch oven roast chicken breast (either on honey oat or wheat), toasted with bacon, provolone cheese, spinach and pickles, and mustard. I swear someday I will get rid of the bacon on there
But that is my go to sandwich and I never deviate from it.
I used to get the Harvested Cheddar Sunchips, but stopped like 2 years ago. The subway I go to, no other subway in Evansville compares to their Chocolate Chip Cookies....... so soft and warm and melt in your mouth chocolate chips -yum yum - but I am done with them!

I don't eat at Subway. I don't find their sandwiches good at all and, after all, they are a fast food restaurant and I eat at those once in a blue moon. I also don't like cookies, so I'll go to my corner right now.

I would say you're crazy (on the cookie part) BUT I am trying to quit my addiction of them.
Very late to the game today. I ran 7 moderate miles this morning, and then proceeded to enjoy the day off work. Now, back to the getting up early. Uh.
Hip Redux
Agreed!
Shari, I ate. I still feel like eating everything that's not bolted to the floor. Good luck tapering
Rick, have fun doing strength and core work.
Marjorie, enjoy Pilates.
Phil, have a great run.
FreeSoul87, fantastic five.

Yugo18, great seven.
3.0 TM miles in 30:25. 10:09 pace. Push-ups, too. WTH? My feet felt like lead. (I wore a pair of old and beat-up running shoes.) I'm on my way home to use my free weights and do ab work.
Had a nice workout yesterday : 2 x 1 Mile #1 : 50 minutes #2 : 62 minutes Each with a 3-miles steep downhill recovery hike.

Awesome.
I don't find their sandwiches good at all...
This is true but having limited choices while out on the road forces one to learn how to make a decent sandwich from a place you otherwise would not eat from. So what I order from them is at least palatable.
We had this discussion about Jimmy John's, I had to learn to jazz their food up as well. Like this #6 toasted, seasoned with a few items added in my kitchen:
+1!
I'm not saying that is why and I am not saying I've read it or am trying to do it as I am not trying to do it, I am saying it is a fear or obsession. Sometimes when I eat something or a little more and start to feel a little bloaty - I immediately want to go for a run or start some push ups, ab work or something.... anything to burn calories or sweat to make up for it. Maybe it's just me, maybe it's a lot of people who have a fat, unhealthy shadow lurking behind them constantly mocking and laughing at them, telling them they'll just fail - but it's there and it isn't going to go away, at least not as far as I can see. Enough depressing stuff though dang it.

It doesn't have to be this way forever. Believe me, it's possible to completely and truly change your attitude/mindset about eating, Your mind. Your body is just along for the ride. What I am saying is that living with an unhealthy relationship with food takes so much out of a person, and it absolutely does not have to be that way. You have to deal with your brain, your mind, and only you can do this for yourself. And you can do it. FreeSoul =
Edited: for being a bit too personal about myself, he he.
What if my brain has a mind of it's own? I know what you mean though, I've conquered a lot of demons over the last decade and I will say running (and the pregnancy/birth of my son) has helped TREMENDOUSLY in the last 2 years - but I still have some demons left, and running definitely helps - especially pushing my body to greater distances and seeing just how far it can take me, moving up into the 30's weekly mileage has definitely helped a lot I think.
Back to the Subway topic - don't knock on my damn sandwich choice, with a limited palate and being too stubborn to try new things, or having any time to make something truly healthy for lunch - I consider my choice of sandwich and size to be an alright, relatively healthy choice I see a lot of people going there and because it's Subway and supposedly healthier than McDonalds, Wendys, Arbys and Burger King - they get a foot long every time, and a large diet........... so I think my choice is a lot better damn it!
