Heck yeah- eating right makes you faster. Hmmm.... how much faster you ask yourself?
Like 30 seconds faster!
WHAT?!? you say.
Hells yeah, I say!
(Okay enough already)
So I've been on the SLIM fast for 2 days and the research says that the meals you eat 2 days before your run are the ones to focus on because it takes your body that long to digest and make that food into energy.
So it's been 2 days and today's run was at an easy 12 minute 10 second pace! Holy crap! And it was easy and my dog had some digestion problems (read lots of stops) and it was so humid!
I am proud of myself, I even was able to pull it together for dinner out, grilled chicken, lite apricot sauce, salad lite dressing, broccoli and tomatoes.
I did cut the portions in half and only eat half. A little splurge on a glass of wine but who can blame me?
I feel great and I am glad to have some discipline in my life.
On the Menu today:

Bottle of water
