So, we're exactly 5 months out from the NYC marathon. 153 days and counting...so, that gives me about 80 to 90 training days to get in shape for the 26.2 miles. Feeling pretty positive. Still have to drop the weight to run faster. Every pound lost knocks nearly a minute off of the total marathon time... 190 is the goal...I am 208 right now. losing 18 lbs means that I have to cut out or work off 63,000 calories. To lose 1 lb is 3500 calories so 3500 x 18 = 63,000. If you divide that by 153 days, that means that I need a calorie deficit of around 400 calories per day to lose the weight. Doesn't seem so bad...basically 1 bagel with cream cheese or 3 beers.
enough for tonight. gotta go to sleep. thanks again!
