Only a marathon runner would say the following....

After being sick for nearly three weeks with a sinus infection plus the after effects of the medicine, my appetite is finally semi-back to normal. There's only one problem...

I can't stop eating!!

At first I blamed it on the weather and putting on my winter weight and then I realized....

I'm not putting on winter weight. I'm putting on marathon weight.

I forgot that at some point during training season your body decides it is constantly hungry. I need to make sure that I am eating every 2-3 hours and that I have enough food to eat. So this morning I started with oatmeal and for a mid-morning snack I had almonds and dried cranberries. And it isn't even 10:30am.

If I'm eating this way in mid-January, it's going to be a long training season.
