Blogroll the Fourth

11 miles yesterday left me a little more sore than I thought it would, so I took a break today. Gotta go help my mom figure out how to install a new TiVo tonight (yes, I'm pretty sure she's their only customer), so here's another roundup of all the stuff I thought was relevant this week.

Train Like an Athlete:

You have another shot at getting one of these medals...

• Disney re-opened registration for the Star Wars Dark Side Half. So now you have another opportunity to join and see me revel in sub 2:00 glory or wither under the crushing agony of defeat. 
• The running trifecta - more about food, training pace, and stress.
• To-do's if you are chained to a desk all day like me.
• Good advice from a first-time half-marathoner. Except for #5 - I ran my first half without any fuel, you can do it too.
• Why Some Runs Just Suck. Spoiler alert: Warming up and recovery are important.
• The Biggest 10k's in the country - I did the Inaugural Across the Bay 10k (#6 on the list) a few years ago, big thumbs up.
• 10 Tips for Becoming a Morning Exerciser - I made the transition from evening to morning training a few months ago and have less stress because of it. Hoping I can continue once Daylight Savings Time begins.

Think Like an Athlete:

• Why everything is my husband's fault. Not really.

Eat Like an Athlete:

• 9 Ways You're Sabotaging Your Weight-Loss - with a nod to getting enough sleep.
• And another article about losing weight that leads with the importance of getting sleep.
• Why having more fun may end my emotional eating problems.
• It's ok to eat the same thing every day - which is why you see a lot of eggs, chili, and tuna in my meal logs.

Sleep Like an Athlete:

• See what happens when you don't sleep.
