Just One More Morning To Go

Only one more morning of pool/garden/kitty duty. Whew! At least it's not nearly as hot here (although it's been really humid) as it has been in Texas which is where my parents have been the past few days. I sure don't miss the summer weather down there! 17 years of it was plenty.

Workout

July 29
7:19 a.m.
[Run 4 minutes, walk 1 minute] x10 , run 4 minutes.
Distance: 4.95 miles.
Duration: 54:44
Pace: 11:03
@start: 68, 90%, fair, NNW@1.
@end: 75, 89%, sunny, N@1.

My ankle had a few twinges on this run when I hit uneven sidewalks choked with grass and wasn't paying close attention to where I was putting my left foot. All in all, though, it was a good run. I'm a little surprised that the average pace was as fast as it was given the walking. I guess I was tooling right along (for me, anyway!) on the run parts.

Tomorrow, I'm going to either do 5 minutes run/1 minute walk or do a pyramid run/walk where I increase the run time by a minute each time and keep the walk at a minute and then decrease the run by a minute. Depends on how long/far I decide to go, but am leaning toward the 6-mile route out McCarty Road.

Food

Breakfast: cantaloup, 1/2 oz almonds.
Morning Snack: n/a
Lunch: 6 Triscuits, Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto, corn on the cob (3 medium-sized ears ... yum), grapes, sweet cherries, Vault Zero.
Afternoon Snack: n/a
Supper: salad - lettuce, bell pepper, onion, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, apple, sunflower seeds, feta, raspberry balsamic vinegar; meatloaf; steamed mixed veggies (broccoli, sugar snap peas, water chestnuts, carrots).
Evening Snack: n/a

For some (subconscious, I presume) reason, I bought a bunch of chocolate/candy at CVS this evening: Kisses, Butterfinger minis, Raisinettes, Almond Joy, Gobstoppers ... haven't eaten any, but still .... Hmmmm.

Great start on your blog. It'll be interesting to see how you structure it. I struggled with knowing what data to post over the long haul. You include more diet info than I do. I wish I did, but have not paid much attention.

What I am finding interesting now, almost 1.5 years back into running, is comparing similar data. My pace, my weight, my distance, with the weather factored in.
