I had a great fitness day yesterday! I ran 3.87 miles outside after work. I did it in 44 minutes. This is the farthest I've run this year (and in many years for that matter) outside. I also ate really well.
My neighborhood has lots of hills so my run is peppered with long stretches of up hill and down hill running. This is great training because I think a lot of the 5K races are not going to be as hilly as my training route.
I would really like to head out to an outdoor track and try running 5 or 6 miles to test myself.
Yesterday I ate 2 boca burgers, a spinach salad with lite ranch dressing and a whey isolate protein shake made with 12 ounces of skim milk. This was my dinner after my run. I succumbed to a carb craving in the morning and ate two bowls of honey nut cheerios with skim milk. During the day I had a Detour protein bar and some almonds and cashews (unsalted, no oil, raw). I also had some coffee (about 16 ounces over the course of the day).
I'm psyched! My feet, ankles, shins, knees, hips and back have all been holding up. Thank God! I just hope hope hope I can keep this up! I want to stay injury-free as I continue to build my running endurance and strength, my overall fitness and as I continue to lose weight!
