Annie...good for you! Marathons are so exciting.... I know you can do it, it's all in the training. I'm working towards my 4th so if I can help in any way let me know..........

Cals are too low for your weight

Funny you should say that, I've been having more Calories over the past two days and lost 2 lbs.

Funny you should say that, I've been having more Calories over the past two days and lost 2 lbs.

How long have you been on this diet & caloric intake? Since before the 13th?

The 2 lbs MAY be water related.

You make a good statement ... "having MORE calories" helped with some lost poundage... keep that in mind.

Even though you are small at 5'2", @ 170 lbs your body will need more cals than 1200. Even at 120 lbs, I still feel your cal intake would be better around 13-1500, more toward the high end ESP if you are a marathon runner.

It's hard to absorb at first, but by NO MEANS do we want you to fail, we would only give advice to help you.

Will keep you informed. I'm just ensuring I'm well conditioned before putting many miles in my legs - think my knees would complain if I went running right now. Hoping to be able to start building up the mileage towards the second half of November. Then I get 5 solid months of training before the marathon.

Well the 1200 was before the end of the day - and I was going to have another 300 cals for the protein and omellete.

Before the 13th I'd stuck to 1300 max - now I'm doing 1500 or there abouts.

I had a protein bar - more calories than a shake before I exercised as I wasn't going home after work in order to make it.
