Almost 3.5 miles

I ran 3.4 miles today! phew. This is my longest run to date! My shins didn't hurt, so those exercises must be helping. I'm planning to ice them tonight anyway just to be safe. Tomorrow is a rest day and then I'll attempt a 3.5 mile run on Wednesday.

My diet has been going well. Eating four 400 calorie meals is a good strategy until dinner time. I might try and tweek this a little and make one of the meals 300 calories and then allow 500 calories for dinner. I've also been working on cutting back on sugar. I went out and bought a box of clementines. This has been extremely helpful for when I'm craving sugar late at night. It is much better than eating a bunch of Lindt balls!

They are about 35 calories each!
