Discipline Strikes Again Part Deux

I really believe diet is the single most important factor in our general health.  More so than exercise.  More so than sleep.  Don't get me wrong --- all are critical.  And using my running as a proxy of general health (yea, let's not debate that this is / isn't the ideal proxy) --- I run my best when I eat well.

I've been running for a few years now with the goal of getting into Boston.  The closest I've come was at Napa in 2010...when I was doing the discipline off for the first time.  Nearly cut my PR time by 20 minutes.  I've since run solid races --- and intensified my training.  But I've not breached that PR time.

Now back to disciplined eating, I'm back on the PR train.  I ran a 1/2 Marathon a few weeks ago and set a PR by about 45 seconds (1:24:30) --- and my training of late has been blistering to say the least.

We'll see what happens in Chicago in a month ... hope I can remain disciplined and get lighter come race day.
