The blog began as my first marathon adventure. Now, I train with the American Cancer Society for the ING Miami half marathon.

counting calories
Okay, so I am working out to get ready for a marathon, right?  But I also need to start paying more attention to my calorie and other 'gram' intake...fat, carbs, protein, etc.  I've started making a list of typical foods that I eat during the week, even that Grande Soy Chai from Starbucks.  It has really put into perspective what I'm eating.  Each item as a piece of the day is not awful, but combined I am eating more calories than I thought, and not getting enough of a couple vitamins during the day.  Eye opening for me, so I will continue to learn from my friends on better choices, healthier choices.  I have improved my habits, but it still needs work...gotta tweak it.
