I ran 7 miles yesterday, and I'm pretty excited about it.
I had 10 on the plan for that day before I got hurt last month. Since then I've reworked my plan. Those last two miles were tough- my legs felt heavier than they should have. I cut back on Camp Gladiator workouts in order to give my body time to recover. My new adjusted plan is to just finish this race. I don't see myself getting a PR after how yesterday's run felt. Usually I don't feel that heaviness until mile 10. I still have three long runs left, though. I just wish I could be more active (it would help to shed these extra holiday pounds) in order to build up more speed. I feel like I'm not getting the speed workouts I need now.
After yesterday's 7, I soaked in Epsom salts. I didn't ice it because it's chilly in my house, but it feels great. I didn't feel any soreness at work today.
Now, I have mountain cedar allergies bothering me. I took the day off of working out because the medicine I take makes me feel so sleepy and dehydrated. I figured a workout in this state wouldn't be good for me. We will see how tomorrow goes. I will probably need a workout since there is another event using our rehearsal space for one act play and I will be confined to my black box. It's difficult to rehearse this play without our stage.
I usually bring a 64oz water bottle to work and fill it up again by the end of the school day. I got down the road this morning and realized I didn't grab it. I stopped at the gas station near school and found a gallon of electrolyte water so I grabbed it. I finished half of it, and I'm about to drink more. How much water do you drink a day? Does it leave you satisfied or do you feel symptoms of dehydration?
Have a great week!
Cheers,
Kasey
