I want
to get going and yet I don’t. What is that about?
Today
starts (at least) two repetitions 90 seconds running/90 seconds walking – 3 minutes
running/3 minutes walking.
I went
out without music again today. My brain and body are still far too over
stimulated by the past weekend. Four hours of a very crowded renaissance faire in
the heat on Saturday (nearly four hours of driving total there and back again),
a grocery shopping trip on Sunday morning followed by a trip to the farm for
dinner with TheMan’s mom Sunday afternoon (left at 1:30 pm and didn’t get home
until 9:30 pm). That’s a very full weekend for an extreme introvert like me. No
music this morning.
Things
went well. I didn’t feel the extreme exhilaration I felt on Saturday morning
but I did feel a happy sense of accomplishment at being able to do three
repetitions of the training schedule.
About the time I got back to the driveway my shins finally stopped that
pulling feeling – which I think means they were finally adjusted and could’ve
gone further, but my left hip was putting up a tiny protest. No pain, just a
bit of pulling that said, “Don’t push it.” And well, I was at the driveway.
Now I’m
starving! And I have to walk TheDaughter to school in about ten minutes, that’s
bonus walking!
Today is
an inside day, a recharge day. An all to myself day. Except for having to go
out later and get sandwich meat and cheese which I forgot to purchase Sunday
morning. But other than that it’s all for me.
Try to "fuel" yourself within 30 to 60 minutes of a run. The fuel should have carbohydrates and protein in a roughly 2:1 ratio. There are expensive sports drinks that do this but a glass of chocolate skim milk usually has what you need.
