Come back

I've been 10 days since I got back and I've done 3 bay runs. I'm keen to get back on the running track, at least before family comes to visit and there'll be another reason to disrupt it again. I shall just have to find a way to make sure their being around doesnt affect my running schedule this time.

My lower leg is still tight and it feels better when I am running on dirt. The weather has been erratic and today was slightly warm. Its easier to run when its cooler. The thirst factor doesnt come in. Else my throat feels so dry the later part.

I think I may start to log my diet. I don't feel skinny at this point. And most people agree I look healthier. Possibly because its not winter and I'm not constantly huddled trying to keep warm. My arms are meatier. Its toned because of pump classes. But there was a time earlier this year when even with pump and ashtanga yoga (yep tough stuff involving lotsa crocodiles) my arms were like sticks.

Yeah, i cant believe that skinny arms time was actually this year still. It felt like a long time ago somehow; that life I had living in the city. That was just in May! But I was also preparing for a marathon then. Logging 30km a week. chinese classes, salsa classes, bellydance classes.

So I think as I journey into the start of another prep for a marathon I ought to log my intake. Just for keeps.

For the record I don't starve myself. My heaviest meal is probably lunch. Because usually I eat out and I cant really control how much food is served to me. For dinner I'd eat until full and keep the rest for tomorrow's lunch or some other time.
I indulge in sweets but I try to do that in moderation because I can feel it going to my arse. I havent had my Krispy Kreme since 3 weeks and I think thats pretty commendable. ..
