1. Not running/walking until today after doing an 11 miler on Saturday. ( I could give all the excuses but really, I should've gotten my butt in gear and done this Monday.)
2. Running/walking in this heat is way different than what I've ever done before. I love this 77 degree weather but it killed me and slowed me way down!
3. Running/walking in the shorts that I did. I need some more tight running shorts. The Soffe shorts just aren't cutting it (i.e. riding up BIG TIME!), which I'm sure was a cause of the slowness.
4. Only doing 2 miles, when I should've done 3 or 4.
In other news,
My Nike + decided to work tonight fully! I have been having trouble with the "lady" talking to me (i.e. letting me know my stats) when I'm on my run. Then Saturday it didn't work all together. I'm not sure if I want to retire it yet and look for a watch device that will track my mileage and such. If you know of any good ones, I would love your input!
I've been looking up and trying different health/protein bars and I love the Luna bars!!!! I've tried the Chocolate Peppermint Stick and the S'mores and I definitely love the Chocolate Peppermint Stick!
Lastly, I AM ON SPRING BREAK IN ONE DAY!!!! I will be picking up the pace over SB and training more!
I took ALLLL last week off. I totally understand, but I'll tell ya what, I'm not feeling guilty :P
ReplyDeleteare you using any sort of supplement while you walk/run? like have you two experimented with shot blox or shot glue? (basically a small energy boost and electrolyte supplement for long periods of exercise).
