You know, for the average mortal.
It seems I'm hopelessly average, because I've been lazing around for a week- taking naps, eating like I'm running 20 miles a week, and I'm still tired! One culprit might be the fact that I've had little to no dietary iron in about 2 weeks, so I need to bump that up, and possibly add a multivitamin just to cover my bases. Eating better might also help. I'm a lazy salad eater, even if it's in the house I forget, or reach for something carb-y and crunchy instead. Like chocolate-covered frozen bananas. (They are my new addiction, I'm trying to replace Chunky Monkey with something a little more healthy.) So my homework for the next month is to refuel and restore myself before the Capitol 10K in April.
Sunday I ran a short 3 mile loop at Memorial park, just to get back in the swing of things, and it left me feeling light-headed and winded, which is unusual. I took a look at my stats, and I ran the first mile in 9:30, which is like the speed of light to me, and the last mile around 11, which is more my average pace.
But a bad run is always better than no run at all. (Yeah, I'm one of those people.)
After a decked-out grilled cheese for dinner, and plenty of water, I felt much better, but today I crashed for about an hour (like I have been for the last month or 6 weeks) on the couch, which makes me feel totally unproductive and lazy. I popped a multivitamin and chugged some caffeine to make it through the afternoon, and we had a nice square meal for dinner. I have a full week of shooting class photos starting tomorrow- we'll see how the vitamins and better diet work out...
I finally added another race to the schedule officially! March 24th I'll be running the Color Run Houston, one of the popular pigment-flinging races where you start in a white shirt and end looking like a human-shaped splatter painting. My sister-in-law, Anne, is awesome and will run with me- if you want to run, too, go here:
