YAY! I had a very successful first day back! :)
I logged my food, drank more water AND ran again! Although, the run SUCKED today... even worse than yesterday haha. I still ran the ENTIRE 2 miles. I will probably walk at a fast pace tomorrow or run one lap, walk one lap etc... to give my knees and back a rest (and my neck... my form is AWFUL right now so I am SO sore!)
It feels so good to be back at it again. Just having something to work toward feels good - its something I can't even really express... i just feel great being on track. I will say however, that my food is BS still. I ate too many sweety type things and not enough protein. JT and I are going to do a little shopping tonight so we'll have some good snacks in the house. I HAVE been eating a lot of almonds though Mel! :) haha
So I think since it is obvious to me that I will be able to run the 5K no problem, I think i might set a goal for myself to finish. I have to figure out what it will be because its not a normal 5K - but i'd like to push myself so that JT gets a great run in too.
Anyone read any good fitness articles lately? If so, could you share them!? :) I need some good - fitness reading! :) <3
Thank you so much for reading!
Heather, whenever I need motivation, I always read Runner's World. It's the best fitness magazine, and it doesn't focus on supplements, and all that garbage...it focuses on motivation and results. It's awesome, and it always has really motivating stories about people who have overcome great tragedies and come out running...like losing limbs or becoming paralyzed and running a marathon in a pool and whatever. Makes our problems seem small! Anyway, probably the best subscription we've got.
