Yeah, but I need to eat enough to cover the calories, and you wouldn't believe the amount of time I run. It is a lot. I'm not a fast runner, just a persistent one. I know I could pull up plenty of distance runner meal plans online but am not really interested in that.
I run a lot because I dissociate a ton while running, sometimes thinking, sometimes not, just being up in my head, and it's like my body is going on its own. Yesterday, I ran a whole mile and completely had no memory of it. One minute my app announced a distance (and this app announces time & distance every 5 minutes), so that means I totally blanked and didn't even notice the time and distance announcements more than once. I thought it was an error but checked my FitBit, and it was not. That's a little scary.
But I've dissociated a long time, since I was very young, that's a topic for another board anyway.
