I ask: What's the funny in being a runner if you're always going to worry about what you eat?

Don't crusify me I meant "fun" in the thread title, not "funny."

Now that I've retired from serious training and just run enough to stay in some semblance of being in shape, I have to worry about what I eat a whole lot more than when I was training hard.

There is a big difference between "constantly worrying about food" and having generally healthy eating habits.

One cookie won't make a difference in a 5k, and that's not a big deal. A whole box of cookies a week might.

An oily burger every once in a while is not a big deal, one a day is probably not so good.

Is this really rocket science?

What's fun about eating crap? You act like potato chips and ice cream are the holy grail of awesomeness, but a lot of people think they're crap.

I'm glad I hate cake/fast food lol.
