Race minus 21 days - First Run In 9 Days, And "The Miraculous" WeightLoss Continues.....

This morning I did my first post-illness run, at a very leisurely pace for nearly 8 miles and it felt very comfortable.
It had rained overnight and the long grass and weeds etc were full of water, so within 30 seconds my shoes were drenched, and shortly after so we're my legs and shorts.
By the time I was done, I was caked in chaff from the long grass as per the photo below.



The weigh-in last night had me 3/4 lb lighter than the day below, taking the three day total to 3 1/4 lbs - either I have some major water retention issues day to day, which to be fair might true given I have had cancer of the bladder twice in the past 11years, or my weighing scales are untrustworthy....

Tomorrow I aim to be out running at 5.30am with a generic let's see what can be done.
It will not be 32 miles as originally planned but if I can manage 15 to 20 miles that would be a good outcome.

Food consumption today has been;
244 calories Breakfast (Post-run milk, and Porridge with milk)
445 calories Lunch (Pasta, chicken&Bacon Sauce, and 20g Cheese)
1044 calories Dinner (Wagamama - Yaki Udon plus half of Edamame Beans, and Chilli Squid)
748 calories Snacks (Pear, Peach, Strawberries, Large Costa Cuppuccino, and a Costa Granola Square)
Total = 2481 calories consumed.
Allowed 3199 calories - 1840 + 1359 calories earned from morning run + walking.
Under target by 719 calories.
