One pound hot dogs not recommended


I'm happy that Rich and I both logged a pretty good week last week. It was probably the best so far in terms of mileage over multiple days in a week since we started this venture. Tomorrow marks the start of following our official plan, although the first 10 weeks really just calls for running 10-20 miles per week - and I think we've been doing that for a couple of months right now, so hopefully we are in good shape.

Yesterday we made the mistake of thinking our huge lunch would give us the energy to run later in the afternoon. I can report that it had quite the opposite effect. Perhaps that's because we tried the oh-my-gawd-what-were-we-thinking one pound "Safari Dog" from the Halfway Cafe. I blame the Phantom Gourmet because "he" christened it and it made me want to try it.

I regretted it the whole tortorous, slow 5 mile run on Saturday as I felt it sitting like a brick in my stomach the entire time. I think that is the last time I will be ordering a one pound hot dog, ever. (And no, I did not eat it all ... not even all of my half.)

Yeah...about that... can we count the week before as our official first week? 'Cuz it went wayyyyy better than our first "official" week :-)

This week... we're hitting the amount of miles but not spreading them out over the amount of days that we should be. How bad is that?

Thank you for continuing to read, Chris! We are hoping to update/post more often as we increase our training and have more to write about in that vein.
