Good Start to the New Year: Week 1 Summary

We are a week into the new year already. How am I doing on my goals for this year? I played my trombone tonight and the piano yesterday. I've run 20.71 miles and walked 9 miles (including the warmup and cooldown walks). My weight is down a couple pounds. I did strength training twice. I just need to do it all 51 more times. :-)

Workout

January 7

6:48 p.m. CT
Warm up: .5 mile walk (treadmill)
Distance: 4.32 miles
Duration: 46:28
Pace ave: 10:45
HR ave 169, max 180
Cool down: .5 mile walk (treadmill)
@start: 30, 83%, cloudy, SW@4
@end: 30, 81%, cloudy, calm

Whoa! I did today's run in almost the exact same time as the last time I ran it (within about 1.5 seconds). Cool. The run felt hard, though, and I really wanted to walk a couple times. Average HR was 4 beats higher. The temperature was 12-15 degrees colder today than last time.  This time, my quads felt really cold, and my legs felt tired after a couple miles. I guess the fatigue could be due to lower calorie intake the past few days as well as the cold. I've got to get some warmer tights. All in all, just a fair run.

After the cool down walk, I did 20-25 minutes of strength training (chest, shoulders, triceps, abs). Biceps are still pretty sore, but the rest of the soreness has surprisingly dissipated.

Food

Breakfast: 8:40 a.m. banana, tangerine, 1/2 oz almonds.
Snack: 12:40 p.m. apple.
Lunch: 3:45 p.m. Lean Cuisine Parmesan Crusted Fish, 8 Snickers minis*.
Supper: 8:35 p.m. black bean soup, green cabbage, green grapes, herbal tea.

According to calorieking.com, I took in 1,423 calories: 21% from fat, 14% from protein, 64% from carbs. Without the Snickers, it would have been 1,063 calories: 14% from fat, 17% from protein, 69% from carbs. I really need to add a little protein. I have a hard time getting to 50g/day. Might have an egg tomorrow instead of the nuts for breakfast, but that's only 6g vs 3g.

*Gift from a kid in my aunt's class. Instead of eating 8 of them, I guess I could have done with just four. :-)
