This is a reply to your post. I believe this is now officially a thread.

I did a lot of training while I was still losing and I didn't really have the issues with energy that a lot of folks report. My surgeon had me up my protein every time I upped my activity level and that had the side-effect of upping my calories a bit and my carbs a bit. But I didn't go nuts adding the carbs.

If you are still trying to keep to 800 calories a day on that training schedule you are going to bonk, no doubt about it. I started out around 750 a day on average but soon was up to 900 and then 1200 and then, at the end when I was trying to stop losing, 1600. The more you lose, the more you have to eat to supply your energy because you just won't have the fat stores to do it.

This is a new post.

Way to go!

That is awesome and you will truly enjoy the feeling of finishing that first Half Marathon.
It really did make all those memories of the boring treadmill runs, and the less than stellar training runs fade into obscurity. 

Good luck with your training. 

It's worth it.

That a girl!
