Hi Ajarvis:
I know about running injuries. I run 3 marathons in a year and I was out of the game with ITBS almost half year.... So, take it easy at the beginning. Rest as much as you can.
It is great you are doing spinning classes  : . I take one once in a while when I have the time. Used to do them often when I was training for races... helped me a lot.
Happy running 
Jo |

What did you do for ITBS?? I just found out a few weeks ago that I have it and I stretch all the time now, but it still really bothers me! Even after the spinning class I was a bit sore. Also what stretches did you do for it? The one the doctor gave me helps but I can't always feel it.
Edited for spelling

When I had ITBS, the Doctor prescribed me 3 weeks rest and antiflamatories (these made the difference, I was suffering). I started treating it also with ice cube baths . My trainer (a very experienced marathonist) gave me some deep tissue massages, and I also used an electric pulse massager for a few weeks. And of course, a lot of ITB stretching, but without overdoing it. It slowly got better... and after half year I started training again and did two more marathons and many mores races . But always I was worried it would come back, and still worry. It is really a pain.... 
Anyway, take it easy and take precautions... stretch ITB before, mid and after every run, no matter how long it is. And ice it for a few minutes after every run, you will feel much better.
I hope I helped. Good luck!

Well I haven't really ran that much in the past three weeks, Im just taking it easy and stretching. Guess I'll just have to stretch some more. This will be my first long run today so I'm just going to go by how I feel. Thanks :

One thing I would suggest for your meals is to put protein in each one. Overall, it's good! Keep up the great job!

Jo, I'd like to finish in 4hours. I'll have to pick up the pace since I currently run at 10 min miles. But I'd be more than happy just to finish my first one :
Thanks Diana! I know I need more protien! I'm working on trying to balance out my meals a bit more, slowly but surely it's coming together.

As long as you plan your meals ahead, you'll have no problem with your calorie/macronutrient goals. Oh more thing, add some cottage cheese, yogurt, or egg whites to the banana and apple. Also, add 2 egg whites in your first meal.

Ajarvis, 4 hours is an achievable goal! Go for it! For my first marathon I also trained to finish in 4 hours, my finish time was 4:01, I almost cried because I could have finished 3:59 but the truth is it was the most unforgettable experience ...reading your journal makes me want to start training again for another marathon or half |

Thanks for the input. I don't know how I'd add 2 egg whites to the first meal though because I take the packages of oatmeal to work with me. I get on the bus at 5:00am and get to work about 6:45 and start at 7:00. I am trying to eat more cottage cheese, just trying to find a way it tastes good (besides in lasagna :lol: ) I use to eat a lot of yogurt but I have become lactose intolerant in the last few months so I've cut back. But I've noticed a lot of what I use to eat has dairy!
I think I'm going to try yogurt again though and cut back on the milk

It's good to know that 4 hours is realistic! I think it's amazing how much harder you have to work to just cut your time by even a couple of minutes! For speed and endurance right now I use 6 mile distance and try to increase that time. Before I got sick I had it down to 52:16 (now it's back up to 57 something  ) I'm planning on running a half before I run a marathon.
