Yesterday I set out to start my 3rd week of running. I've updated exercise plan (on the right), which looks the same as the previous week with the exception of a short run added to Tuesday (1.8 miles).
I ran 3.8 miles and it was the first time I was able to say "what a great run"!!!. I always thought people were lying when they compared runs (great run, crappy run, etc)....but it is not a lie and many factors do go into the mix to get to that great run:
- Being Hydrated: This was my main problem last week. Drink plenty of water everyday, and have a glass of water about an hour before your run. It will make a huge difference! - Diet: Obviously, the healthier you eat, the better you feel. I'm still not sure which combinations of foods works best for runners...but as I find out what's working for me I'll share ;)
- Weather: Kind of hard to control, but if you are lucky enough to have good weather...enjoy it and run outside!
- Sleep: I swear by sleeping at least 8 hours a day. I know, I'm spoiled...but until we have kids I will enjoy my full 8 (sometimes 9 or 10 ;))) hours of peaceful sleep!
Today it's off to the gym for the short run and the Pump class. I'm kicking the "freshman" 15 lbs on the butt!. My theory is that being a newlywed is just as being a freshman in College...for some reason you just gain those extra pounds! (maybe since the fear of not fitting in the dress no longer exists! lol)

Aqui va el update especial para er papin!! Uno de mis lectores leales...jajaja ;)
Ok, ya estoy oficialmente celosa!!! Quiero una nano and un nike thingy!!!! hahahahaha!
Socia vamos a vernos este fin!
Menos mal que ya pusiste tu update del entrenamiento, realmente la mejor comida cuando vas a hacer una corrida "larga" son carbohidratos en abundancia, pero en tu caso creo que no es necesario, para todos los dias el tipo de comida que haces sana es sufi, claro que te puedes dar el lujo de algun snack de esos poderosos pero no vale la pena, esa experiencia de una buena carrera la vas a experimentar seguido cada vez que asi lo sientas porque lo hiciste suave sin cansarte y que admas mejoraste tiempos etc. Sigue adlante.
