Beautiful day in St. George! Sunny & 50's (my guess). Glad I made myself get outside to enjoy it for an hour. Took me 1/2 the day to get my run in- but I did it! (Heather cancelled on me for the early morning run)Ran the neighborhood loop, very slow (10:04 av. pace). Goal today was just to get in 6 miles. I played a little game with myself "don't look at the Garmin". This was cool 'cause it forced me to listen to my body. Basically my body said its lazy when not under the clock- it also said its quads & calves are sore from the weight class. I think it also said I didn't eat enough breakfast or lunch to give me good energy for the run. Next time I'll watch the Garmin so I don't have to listen to my body complain so much! Oh- and let me clarify my 2 hr. nap that I filled in for today- I actually went to bed at 11pm last night and up at 5am to run w/ Heather. She cancelled so it was back to bed until 7 for me (that was the 2 hr. nap...I know you were DYING to know)
2 questions for my smart bloggies:
1. What do you do about water on runs over 6 miles? (or what is your personal limit - time or miles- when you feel you need water?) I thought about this because the water fountain that I stopped at 1/2 way through my run was turned off- so I was thirsty!
2. What are some of your favorite YUMMY 200 calorie or under snacks? (I need to revise my late night binge patterns)
Happy Running! |
