Decided today would be the 6-mile run, as there is a 5K race Saturday morning so I wanted to space it far out from that. John went with me, although just to do 3 miles around the track. Fueled up with the english muffin/nut butter combo. I wish I had let this digest a wee [...]

Got up today and decided on another 5 mile run (or jog, I guess… whatever). I fueled up with a wheat english muffin, 1 half with PB and the other half with the last bit of almond butter. This is toasted, but doesn’t look like it in the picture. So this is about 150 [...] No Y this morning since I am not lifting or swimming. I actually slept in until a little after 7!! I wanted to do an easy run today. I finally understand what easy run means. Running always used to be hard, no matter what the distance LOL! Today I did a slow jog and kept [...] So, I did my 4 mile run today. We ate breakfast first: Something different! Nutrigrain waffles with blueberries. Very good. They were decent fuel for the run, but thinking back I probably should have had more protein. Anyway, the run went well. John decided to do 3 miles, and he started faster than I did [...] No weights this week (although I have to say that I look forward to starting them again next week!). It was a beautiful morning, so I ran at home. I tried a different pre run fuel: Whole grain fig newtons! I haven’t had these in a while, but a training book recommended them as [...] Woke up a little early this morning. I went out for a run and decided to do another 6 miles. I ran one 5K loop back to the house, had 1/2 a balance bar and some water, which I left on the porch, then John joined me for the second 5k. That was fun! We [...] I was going to go to the Y this morning, but since I wasn’t swimming, and I am lifting weights tomorrow (only 2 lifting workouts this week), I decided not to waste the gas driving to the Y to run. It certainly was nice enough this morning to head outside. I fueled up [...] Today was in the 30s, above freezing, and tomorrow it might actually rain! On top of feet of snow, that should be fun.Anyway, it really feels like we might have turned a corner on the death grip of winter. I love the change in seasons, but this winter seemed harder than usual. A winter home [...] The outside run I did last week made me realize that I miss running! Streets and sidewalks are too icy and snow packed to do much outside (not to mention the cold!).So tonight I went to my parents’ house and ran on their treadmill. I was okay for about 15 minutes, then it just seemed [...] |
