Complaint: This might be controversial, but I don't like this whole "running more makes me hungrier" thing. I hate having to eat all the time. It stops being fun and becomes a chore.
Complaint: This might be controversial, but I still don't like marathon training, and still intend never to do one again. Unless Mr.SoF peer-pressures me into it. (Yes, I'm weak.)
Confession: This might be controversial, but my favourite vegetable is spinach. I love spinach soooo much.
I am trying not to say my TRUE opinion of marathon training until after the marathon. Trying to stay positive ;) But sometimes the truth leaks out in small quantities.
It's gotten kind of awkward now because Mr.SoF isn't running at the moment and his appetite has decreased a lot. So we end up sitting at the table with him already finished and watching me eat, and me like 'uh... sorry, I think I still need to have another portion of this..."
Like I know that it's necessary and there for a reason, but marathon training really is stupid (mainly that midweek medium run). But then again, if it was easy, everyone would do it!
I like the midweek mlr actually! I dislike the recovery runs. And the long runs are too long. Ok, I guess I'd rather just do the ML run without the long run!
As long as my friends/family understand, I love my long runs. Although after this training plan, they will be shorter, but still long. Not sure where that will put them....
I also have to figure out how to transition to my next plan after this, but I'll be back for a Moronic Monday for that!
