Comments on: NYCM Training: Week 5 http://thefinalforty.com/nycm-training-week-5/ Losing weight, one mile at a time Wed, 24 Sep 2025 06:41:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.2 By: Jennifer http://thefinalforty.com/nycm-training-week-5/#comment-56405 Jennifer Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:14:46 +0000 http://thefinalforty.com/?p=4461#comment-56405 It is RIDICULOUSLY easy to gain weight. Just one of the many ways life is not fair, haha.

Yeah, it definitely wasn’t a great idea to run another marathon 2 months after Dopey — meanwhile, I’m running NYC and signed up for Goofy in January like a moron. ;)

I’ll bet the ultra training is killer…but it’ll totally be worth it. What an awesome accomplishment!

Here’s hoping we both kill our training (and maybe even shed a couple of pounds along the way). :-D Vacations were designed for being overindulgent, IMHO. ;)

It totally is — I’ll feel like I’m getting hungry (even though I ate, like, an hour ago, haha) but then I drink some water and magically feel fine.

I’ll be missing out on Princess 2015. :( Wasn’t crazy about the 2014 designs, I’ll tell ya that much, haha.

I would really like to get into yoga — I tried it in my pre-running days and didn’t like it, but I’m wondering if I’d appreciate it more now!

It was nice to see improvement, I’ll say that much. I definitely took my share of rest days, too, before I started training for NYCM — believe me. Haha

I know you’re 100% right. Glad to know I’m not the only one struggling with “resting” though! (Sounds a little nuts, right?) haha

I read your post and the same things are running across my mind! I am hoping to lose some weight this training season, but I know I’ve been overindulgent during vacation + not as much mileage as I like. My normal routine should resume next week

Wed, 06 Aug 2014 19:39:42 +0000 http://thefinalforty.com/?p=4461#comment-56354 Glad to hear this week was better than the last! When I make a point of drinking more water I east less too. It’s like magic. I think I could with fewer rest days. I’d love to workout more like 5 days a week than the 3-4 I manage.
