3 things Thursday: Cookies, marathon, cookies
1. Cookies. I’m removing them from my diet until after the Richmond Marathon. I’ve been eating way too many lately.
2. Good runs deserve shout-outs. Yesterday I did an 8-mile run with a 4-mile tempo thrown in at an 8:19 pace. I could have easily gone farther at that pace and I could have easily lowered that pace. I didn’t look my watch for much of it.
With each run I’m growing more and more confident about what will happen at the Richmond Marathon on Nov. 10.
3. Speaking of cookies and the marathon, this training cycle has been one of the best when it comes to running and one of the worst with eating stupid stuff. It’s all kind of weird how that happens, but it’s time to change a few things.
I’m not going to make any drastic changes, but my two-plus-month soda free streak will continue and now cookies/cupcakes/brownies and the like are gone for a while. The sweet tooth has got to go.

Those cookies sure look good! It’s funny how sweets can lead to running success.
Nice job on your training run!
How do you know the cookies aren’t the key to your recent success? If it ain’t broke ….
The cookies are the key to my recent gut expansion. I told someone this on Twitter, but if I have a week or so of craptastic runs I’ll jump back on the cookie bandwagon.
#3, yes, yes, same here, it’s ridiculous. As for the cookies, maybe you should try those 100 calorie packs-HAHA.
