Had a nice little afternoon...went out and got gelato with a new friend. Hopefully this doesn't mess up my run too much. I'm about to go out for it. It's going to be rough. But gotta push through.
UPDATE: My playlist was totally in sync with me today. I explained last week what I was doing this week, but I'll recap:
5 min warm-up, 2x (90 sec run, 90 sec walk, 3 min run, 3 min walk) 5 min cool-down (28 minutes)
I thought I did pretty bad. I was struggling during the last 3 minute run. Hate to admit this, but Bieber's "Never say Never" came on and it was a big help getting me over the hump. I finished every run, even though my ankles and calves wanted to quit. They're okay now though. I didn't run as far but I ran a little faster. 2.02 miles at 13:51 min/mile pace. Not bad, I'd say.
It was definitely a really good run. I could have pushed myself a little more, but I didn't want to push too much since I haven't been eating as well as I should. But I will be changing that today. I will be making a yummy tilapia with lemon and a side of brown rice or whole wheat pasta from Trader Joe's. When I saw my time and distance, I definitely smiled and that's what counts. Reminded me of my half-marathon at Birmingham. I'm looking forward to my run on Thursday now. Maybe I won't hold back as much. And burping up limoncello gelato is better than other foods. Gross...yup, but that's me!
Have you ever used jog.fm? I used it earlier this year and LOVED it. Helped with pacing for me. "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machine is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteJealous of your gelato. I'm trying low carb stuff right now... been less than a week so I haven't noticed any differences yet.
Keep it up!!
