Day 7: My 6-Week Fitness Challenge

Today was a long, slow run of 13.5 miles.  The goal was to continue building my base for the Vegas 1/2 marathon.  My run time was 2 hours so this was not a very hard run, it was just time on the road.

I usually prefer to do my long runs on Saturday, but I was busy hosting a 2-hour fitness challenge for the Chron's & Colitis Foundation on Saturday.  We had over 50 participants that showed up to workout to a P90X inspired boot camp workout in order to raise money for the C&CF.  It was a great success!

Anyhow, I did not count my calories today exactly because I knew that I was not eating nearly what I burned from my run.  If there is anything that I've learned over my 10 plus years of endurance training is to never try to diet before or during a long training day.  I've had one too many "bonks" and I've learned my lesson.  I'll get back on track to counting calories and keeping my target to around 1,800 per day tomorrow.
