Today marked the beginning of my second week of marathon training. Because of my work schedule, being off most Mondays, I have chosen Mondays as my long run days. So, I begin the week with my long run, or end the previous week on Monday? Anyway, I do the long runs on Monday, and today was my long run, 5 miles. It was my 5th training run, and I trained a total of 20 miles. I am feeling good, have only had cramps twice, and neither time was during a run. The cramps in my abs are a little different than what I have experienced before, but I think they may have been due to carrying some extra weight.
This also marks the beginning of week 2 of weight watchers. This past week, I lost 7 pounds. How much is 7 pounds? I've had to cut insulin use by 1/3, and the back pain I have been waking up with is gone.
