And here we have the result of a long weekend of "eating plenty to get ready for this race," and "eating plenty to recover from this race!" Then a couple of days of sensible eating without exercise, because my knees are pretty damn sore from the race. So I really haven't exercised since Sunday/race day. I hate to see the number on the scale jump like that, but I know why, and more importantly, I know what I have to do to get it back where I want it.
However, the bright side: I got a fantastic personal best time at the race! The race in question was the Rock 'n' Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon, and the anniversary of my first half marathon ever. Last year's time was 2:15:09, and my best half marathon time since then was 2:12:28. My goal for this year's R'n'R was to finish around 2:10- instead, I finished in 2:02:56!!!!
So, that is the good news, and the bad. I am going to focus on the good side (I NEVER would have dreamed I could run a half marathon in that time!!), and do what I know I need to do to get the scale back to where I want it. :)
