fast: surprised by food

28 10 2008

This will officially be my shortest post!  I think more than likely this is due to the fact that today was a very long day.  Yesterday at noon I started fast #3.  Compared to the last couple, the process has changed quite dramatically.  I think I need to process this further, because this time around was almost as if nothing happened.  I’m not sure if I’m becoming desensitized to hunger or it was just that I was busy, but by noon today lunch came and I was surprised to see food.  This is a big change to the first couple times when I literally counted down the stopwatch!

In fact, things went so smoothly I even got in one of my key runs this evening.  I haven’t had such an intense workout since high school cross country.  This book is seriously doing something!  Tonight was 2 miles easy, followed by 8×1min hill repeats @ 5k pace.  I picked an insane hill to do the repeats on and it about did me in. 

Well, I’m wiped out, so I’m calling it a night.
