Okay, I hate running fast, I really do. I decided that since there was suppose to be a "cool" front yesterday it would be safe to do my 10:15 mile in the morning....wrong!!! I head out to warm up and it is very humid and very warm, I can see the clouds and there is teeny, tiny bit of rain coming down. I had marked off a .5 mile area in my neighborhood so I walked it to warm up, per training instructions. I get to where I needed to start running and take off. At that precise moment the humid and temperature increased and I really thought I was going to suffocate. I only made it four minutes and barely a half mile into the run. I was completely soaked and out of breath. I stopped and recovered for three minutes. I decided to suck it up and do it. So, I restarted and did my mile in 9:45, instead of 10:15. The front arrived and I walked another mile to cool down.
I had promised my super marathoner friend that I would go with her to a "social" run that night. We showed up and she took off (she runs a seven-minute mile on an "easy" day). I trotted slowly, because I don't want to overdo it and injure myself. I did 2.8 miles in 30:18. The cooler temperatures make such a difference and I imagine the two hour nap didn't hurt either!
As far as my nutrition is going. I had a chip breakdown yesterday. I LOVE tortilla chips with cream cheese and salsa. I did rein it in though, I had a serving of chicken tetrazzine for dinner and a half-cup of light ice cream for dessert. I was still very hungry, so I ate 3/4 cup of Honey Nut Cheerios with a 1/2 cup of milk. Which I repreated at 3:00 am this morning.
This morning I decided to not run until tonight and only run once today. For breakfast I had a light multi-grain English muffin with PB powder mixed with sugar-free and regular jelly and half of a banana. It was yummy.
I have decided to go through my past year's worth of "Self" and "Fitness" magazine and pull out all the nutrition advice, meal plans, and recipes. However, CSI has distracted me.
