Well I did great everyday last week until the weekend. The trip to Alabama killed me. I did get in a good run Saturday morning. I ran all over Tuscaloosa, AL and checked out their town and campus. It is great knowing that I can get out in a town and run anywhere that I want now and site see while doing it. I ran for over an hour that morning just checking out the scenery, and it made for an enjoyable run since I didn’t get bored with the same old scenes.
Now the bad part. I must have ate 5 lbs of chex mix and 10 lbs of chocolate candies, and breakfast wasn’t nutritional either…waffles, muffins, 10 bowls of cereal, etc. I’m sure I put on a few pounds, but the scale said 158 this morning, but the BF was just under 14%. So I put on a couple of pounds of fat. I have realized though that I can burn that fat off a whole lot quicker now if I just get back to my normal life and training. I have been back at this week, but the long run yesterday was a weak run. I think it was the poor nutrition in AL, because I couldn’t even get 2 miles without my calves cramping up…and that isn’t normal for me anymore. I did manage to pull out 6 miles, but I had to stop every lap around campus and stretch my calves out before going another lap.
Hopefully I’ll be good to go tomorrow for my 2nd long run of the week.
How is everyone else?
