If anything, I think I was undertrained for the half. I have been about the same weight for a year now. While it is a lot better than where I started, it's definitely not where I would like to be forever.
The long runs definitely improved my lipid profile though. I was really happy about that. Now that I think about it, I did gain about 2 lbs while training. Right now, I am working to break through this plateau so that I can be lighter for the next race!
I will have to be aware when I start training for the mini in May.
Ncuneo, good luck running your first full! I think I might have to do a full, but it's going to be possibly years of training trying to get faster. I don't want to be out there for 6+ hours working to get it done!
