Watch out, Woman running!
Made it out to Swan and back on the River Path, woo hoo! I did it in 11:34/mile, which is quick for me, yay! Plus I had a negative split - 44:36 vs. 42:05 for a distance of about 3.75 miles. Alright!!! Another thing I've decided to chart is my weight, before and after runs. Today, I was 140 pre-run, and 137 post-run (with clothes - generally I weigh myself sans clothes, but it was too cold today). So I lost three pounds on the run. I know I should try to make sure my weight stays the same before and after. I'm new at this, and am trying to figure out the significance of losing three pounds...hmm...any insight appreciated!
I've read that women runners often get their monthly visitor during a run or race, and sho'nuff, I'm three days early - and was unprepared on the run. As I've referenced before, I've decided that epic training runs are par for the course! So "epic" may mean different things for different training runs, and today's version of "epic" has to do with being a woman runner...
Any other women runners out there with "epic" runs/races? What's your story?

I try to drink quite a bit afterwards, so the weight comes back pretty quickly for me. If I don't I get pretty nauseous and have even gotten pretty sick from not hydrating and eating enough afterwards (usually runs over 10 or so miles.) Congrats on your great run! I'm on the pill so I'm pretty regulated in that department....=)
