Disney Princess Half Marathon!

It was AH-MAZING! And I'm counting down the days until next years race (because I'm soooo doing that one too!) I finished the race much slower than I wanted to at 3:11:22 but it's still faster than the last time I ran one at 3:17:something. So there's that.

So what am I doing now? Now I am training for the Nashville Rock n Roll Half Marathon on April 28. My goal for this is to stick to a training plan for the next 53 days until then. I really want to see how eating well and training hard will affect my time and my abilities. I didn't run for an entire month before the Disney Princess Half so I think that really affected my time.

However, I am still struggling with not eating well while I'm at work. My problem is that I get so stressed out from the kids screaming and throwing tantrums and all my duties that I have to get done and activities to take them to so I turn to food. It's the quickest easiest way to find comfort for me and it's always available. I really need to do some thinking about ways that I can deal with stress like that without turning to food. Also, I need to think about ways that I can prevent binges at work by planning ahead.

Tomorrow will be a long day, I work from 6 am to 7 pm so I'm planning on doing my lifting workout at work.
