Hello, everyone. I just ran my first marathon on Sunday. I came home yesterday and stepped on the scale this morning. I’ve gained 11 lbs.

I know all kinds of things are happening with my body, so I’m not super freaking out. But has anyone else experienced this? How long did it take for things to go back to normal?

For reference, I did a 3 day carb load and since running I haven’t had much of an appetite, but have been eating clean and healthy. I’ve been drinking tons of water, too.
