Week 3 Run 1

It wouldn't have been so bad, had I not eaten so much today. I gave myself plenty of time since last eating (about 3 hours), but still felt waves of nausea. I'll eat much lighter or maybe just like a normal person on the days I run in the future. I still enjoyed it. So many insights happen while and after I run. Today I was thinking about how much I think about these runs, and how I turn each new week into this big monster to overcome, but it's only 28 minutes of "meh" each time. I realize that I do that with so many other things in my life.

Maybe try running instead of eating? - in an attempt to stop/delay/lessen the desire to eat? I once knew a "reformed" alcoholic. He told me that alcoholics need another addiction to replace their alcoholism. His new addiction was "Alcoholics Anonymous" meetings but he said that others could have different replacement addictions Running is certainly addictive once you really get hooked on it - but mostly it is a healthy addiction So when you get the desire to eat excessively - maybe have a banana and put your running shoes on instead??

Try early morning before breakfast.

1/2 hour of walk/running is not enough to require specific fuelling or hydration. A glass of water before you go out should be plenty.

Then enjoy breakfast

I agree with Sqarewheels. Just a glass of water before you run and then a breakfast reward when you get home.

I think the "eating like a normal person" is ideal
