So I had that distance goal on Nike+ and unfortunately, I'm not going to make it. I kind of saw it coming last week when I realized 9 miles behind and would have to run 3 miles for 5 days. I was positive about it at first, but along with my circuit workouts and work schedule, it just didn't work.
Nike+ is great and doesn't want to discourage runners so even though I didn't make my goal, Nike+ offers extensions. I appreciate that considering I didn't even care about that goal when I realized I wasn't going to make it. So now that I've extended it, I'm ahead of where I need to be and we'll see how quickly I finish up the 13 miles I have left. I think I might run 2-3 miles 2-3 times a week for another month or so before picking up the miles again to prepare for the Princess Half Marathon. I don't think I'll make another goal after this for a while, probably not until closer to the Princess..
While my original Nike+ goal passed me by, I did get my diet back on track. I don't want to say I'm a calorie counter, but instead I'm calorie aware. I know what I'm eating, about how many calories it is, and how much I can be eating that day. I'm not sure strict about staying under the allotted calories, but I don't let them get out of control (most of the time). I'm still eating what I like and not worrying about only eating certain things. It just makes diets that much better. Like I've said before, it's all about portion control and I'm proud to say I've been getting a lot better at that!
