Focus on the fact that you gave it all you had. THat you got a PB even with the injuries, work issues and family stuff. THat you are fit enough to even run 5kms not only at the speed you were travelling at. I'm like you I beat my self up about... could have gone harder on the hill etc. I think the trick is to be in the moment when we run. Don't lose your focus, its hard to sustain for 20 mins or in my case 25. Stay in the moment and race to your plan. Then you can't question or what if? yourself afterwards. You did the best you could on the day. Tomorrow you will make a new plan and kick it come next race. And fingers crossed we get a tail wind on the day lol. sammi Take Care Your beating yourself up over 7 seconds???? Focus on the fact that you gave it all you had.

Very impressive blog. The problem I come across with food is I LOVE FOOD. It's been very difficult finding foods that I like that are "healthy" or preparing foods that the family will enjoy. I hate preparing separate meals I don't have the time nor do I have the will power to stay away from foods I shouldn't eat. Although, I have been good about staying away from the sugar it's those dang Cheetos I''m having problem with. Then those stupid machines at work UGH! Wow! Very impressive blog.

I belive that a person should not eat anything that doesn't rot. As for eating out, even healthy choices like chicken breast are packed with enough sodium to cause a stroke. Fortunately, many resturant chains are releasing nutritional information online and making it available to patrons. this doesn't always mean that they food is any better for you but at least one can make adjustments to their diet knowing how much fat, salt and sugar that trip to Subway, Wendy's or wherever cost them I agree entirely, using fresh ingredients doesn’t take that much more time but it ensures that your are not eating an additive that was only meant to extend the shelf life of the product.

I believe the problem with our overweight society is we are addicted to taste. We have an insatiable appetite for flavor. What happened to just using basic ingredients to prepare fresh foods. I have even begun to try to shop in the outer ring of the grocery store, where more of the basic foods are. The middle aisles are chalked full of literally tons of ingredients that I can't spell or pronounce. I like basic foods preferably from local sources, and I will go home and spend the time to make them into something healthy to eat. The hardest thing is to go out to eat. We have no idea of the ingredients in the food. We also don't know how they were handled. I think there is plenty of science available on how to evaluate your macro and micro nutrients, the hard part is how to find those nutrients without all of the other synthetic chemicals that go with them.

You basically will eliminate about 3lbs of calories over a year doing this. Easy way to drop weight!
