Running to lose …
How many people actually run to lose weight? I am sure a lot of people out there are raising their virtual hands.
But how many people are actually losing weight from running?
I ask this because this is a constant struggle for me, and I know it has been for Joe as well. I recall him telling me, “I have gained more weight since I started running.” I think running is a great way to stay fit and possibly shed some pounds since it is burning calories. For example a 6 mile run for me burns approximately 850 calories. That is roughly a little bit less than a Steak Burrito Ultimo from Baja Fresh. YES!!!! One of these babies will pack on 950 calories.
And guess what? After running 6 miles, I am HUNGRY! I really am. When I was training, I was constantly hungry. My body kept telling me, “FEED ME!”
So I end up eating more than I am burning. The irony …
Please don’t call me tubby if you see me running down the street. That just isn’t nice.
