I'm being chiseled and sculpted into a marathon machine! Seriously - I initially lost 20 lbs of baby weight but the scale hasn't budged much for about 2 months.... and for the first time IN MY LIFE I don't care! I don't care if I weigh 160 or 140 or 120 - actually, if I weighed 120 I would probably be a little upset because there is no way I could weigh that and still have the muscle and energy I need to run. I love my body! I'm so lucky to be able to run! I can't believe how many years I spent focusing on all my little imperfections and viewing this beautiful gift as "the enemy". I love to eat - I actually eat apples now - you guys know how weird that is for me! I drink water instead of soda at restaurants - I eat whatever I want - as long as it's not too close to the time I need to run.... I had a nasty experience with eating too close to my run last night. Plus it was "only" 4 miles and I wanted to get it over with so I ran a little too fast. As soon as I was done I puked up all my yummy veggies onto the grass in the park... while some teenage boy was sitting on the swing watching. Luckily it was getting dark - but still.... ewe.

thats awesome beck! lately i have been CRAVING sweets... and im usually not like that. i hope it's just that time of month, but i'm getting scared. help me through this!
Eat them! Didn't you read that chapter. Your body needs carbs - otherwise you'll hit "the wall" like I did on the 12 miler
That is so awesome Beck. I am so happy for you seriously. I am waiting to see if I am pregnant this week and then I will begin running again. Do you think if I am pregnant I can still run as much as I need to for the half marathon? I am not sure what to do if it comes back positive. I don't not want to do it and I really want to try and stay active during this pregnancy but I am not sure what would be okay for my body. I don't know if running thirteen miles pregnant is good for you. I am probably not pregnant anyway and I won't have to sorry about it but I don't know. By the way my shin splints are almost completely gone. YEAH!
