Hello, legs? We run now, remember?

Posted by: getupnow In: General

3.1 miles was a little rough at times today. At one point my legs felt sooo heavy. Ugh. I finished in 35:08 though so I am content. I had eaten too much last night and I seriously think that makes running harder. I used to think that the extra calories would be good. I am thinking that is probably not the case. And, I need to make sure that I am getting enough water because the whole dry mouth thing is a nuisance.

The eating…I did ok the day of the wedding. Had to eat steak which I do NOT like, but that is what was served at the reception. I didn’t have cake. I was going to but I tasted some off of hubby’s plate first and it just would not have been worth it. However, on Sunday I made mom a cake because her birthday is later this week. Made pineapple upside down cake, which is one of the few types of cake that I actually like (really, really, REALLY LIKE!). And I did have some [too much] of that cake. Then I did some snacking after dinner on Sunday for no apparent reason at all other than that I was just glad to be back home. So I am not weighing for a few days. There is no point because there will be no measurable progress.

I am thinking about winter already, wondering what I am going to think of running outside when it is like 40 degrees. Anybody? Is it harder to breath? I just really don’t want to slack off on my running in the winter.

Breakfast and lunch: the norm. Fruit of the day: nectarines. Dinner will be greek burgers with feta aioli. hopefully we can get them to stay together better this time.

I am actually looking FORWARD to running outside in the winter! It won’t be 1000 degrees with 1000% humidity. It will actually be nice!! Of course, when it gets too cold, i do find it harder to breathe so I may just stick to the gym.

  • round: Very cool chart, I agree! And I cant wait to see the next pic either
  • round: Yum that recipe looks good - and what's interesting is that yesterday at the store I bought organic sausage and some whole grain pasta and didnt have
  • tiny2b: Cool chart. You asked how I can do it, the running in the cold weather. Um, when I say it's "cold," so far that has been 45 at the worst. The 20s?
