How far did your run end up taking you? I'm trying to plot a route around the neighborhood that won't leave me a mile from home when I finish. I usually average about 3.5mi/hr when I walk the dog, but I have no idea what jogging would do to that. Plus I think I'll be running alone today, because it's raining, and a certain big scary dog is considerably less scary when faced with the prospect of getting his feet wet.

I ran in loops - first round the edge of a small park, then along a track next to the river which looped round into the back of the village. Then through the village and back onto the park, round the other side of the park and across the river for a bit, before looping back round to the road at the side of the park to get back to my college. Basically it was a big tangle of loops, never more than 1km away from home.

You could always supplement with some more protein- there are some protein bars that actually don't taste like ass and there are also powders that you can mix into shakes. They typically bump up your calories but give you good stuff instead of bad stuff.
But....I don't know if I believe that cutting out 200 calories will engage that whole Starvation Mode thing. I always thought that was brought on by a severe change in diet (like.....a decrease of 1,000 calories or more). Anyone else have any insight? I'm curious as well.

Don't want to start by procrastinating but I'll be starting as soon as my school year is over. Too many deadlines right now but if I find a couple hours, I'll be in the gym getting ready as soon as I can.

I haven't run yet! I am holding off until June to start. When I won't be freaking out about how my time should be spent doing work on my thesis. I thought about starting today, but I know I'll spend the whole time freaking out about how I should be working. So I'll be a few weeks behind everyone, but I will do it!
