Leftovers are the best thing. When you don't have time to make something new, just heat (or keep cold) and eat. Lately, I've been getting a little bit more miles in, which means less time at home (can't wait until my new schedule kicks in, I'll have less time at home). So, I had leftovers, once again (last time for this dish).
Also, I enjoyed a couple of lemon bars. I had no idea how much I liked these (especially since I've never had them before making this). I could eat the rest in one sitting (and need to run a million miles to work it off).
During the taper, I gained just a few pounds, and I am back to my "happy weight". My eating habits never changed (hit the weight gain) and since I never changed what I ate (except those few beers over the weekend) and am continuing to run, that's why I lost the weight already.
How do you get rid of a side stitch?
Ugh, I hate side stitches! I usually have to walk and hold my arms over my head while gripping my elbows, like how you stretch your triceps. Usually doing this for a few steps and taking some deep breaths will make it go away. Then I just make an effort to watch my breath as I run until I'm sure it's gone.
ReplyDeleteConcentrate on your breathing and stop and walk if you need to in order to rid of side stitches.
ReplyDeleteI used to get stitches every single time I ran. What I read is that you need to switch the foot you exhale on. Try to do that next time you run. Now if I get a stitch I do that and it's gone in about a minute--and I don't have to stop running!!
ReplyDeleteIf you can stop, stretching out that side works really well. If you'd prefer not stopping, Vanessa's idea is great. I get stitches now and again and I've never tried switching the foot I breathe on, but I usually take 5-6 steps with fully flexed abs and then release. After a few times doing that, it's gone. I had that issue at mile 5 in my half too.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do, don't breathe deep; it'll just make it worse.
VERY deep breaths usually help get rid of a side stitch for me.
