I've been feeling really good lately but recently after our last Saturday run I felt a little toe pad pain like I overextended my foot. Then my left ankle felt like I sprang it. What the dealio?
I was too afraid too run on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, I took it easy with a 2 miler and there was not pain in either foot. I was so happy. Thank you. I guess it's my phantom injury.
I haven't been hydrating correctly and skipping out on my 8 cups a day. Sometimes only getting in 6 :(
My diet has been doing well. I feel good about my choices and enjoy making new food everyday. Who knew I would really like eating mashed cauliflower? I am slowly switching out the Slim Fast shakes with Spirutien protein shakes, same amount of calories but more vitamins. Chicka says that I shouldn't take pictures of my food anymore because they look so sad. But I think I'll take more tasty pics instead so she doesn't get sad for me.
This weekend is an easy 3 miler (I couldn't wait to get to this point where I say, JUST 3 miles), I am aiming to increase my base of 3.03 miles during the weekdays to 3.5 miles.
I am also loving my Nike+ system. It's so fun to hear how fast I am running and to play my PowerSong which is Intergalactic by The Beastie Boys. I love it when they say, "I run the marathon to the very last mile."
Next week we've got a 5 miler! Ahhh... it's getting deep. I'm excited!!!!
