Thursday, April 15, 2010 Workout & Food

Today I woke up with a screaming sore throat so I slept in (the sickness started a couple of days ago but I just kept going going going going going and I knew I was making it worse with exhaustion). I was planning on running after work anyhow so I did that and still got a work out in. I don't know if it was that my body is sick, or if it was the heat and humidity but today's run wasn't easy or really enjoyable at all.
I ran a mile and my shin was hurting so badly that I walked 1/2 mile and then finished with another mile. I kept a good pace and I still got in 2 miles of running but I was disappointed that I had to walk at all. Oh well, I guess I just need to accept that sometimes it's easier than others.

One thing I'm realizing this week is that I'm going to have difficult managing boot camp AND running. It's really rough on my body to do both in one day but, when I go to boot camp Tues, Wed & Thurs, that doens't leave any other consistent time to train for the running, execept for the weekends and I feel like Fri-Sat isn't enough......well, maybe it's enough but the break of three days is almost too long for my body and when I run again at the end of the week I feel like my body has to adjust all over again. This is really different from last week when I was off of boot camp for Spring Break. I was ONLY running and I could tell my running was getting easier and improving daily.

I don't know what any of this means, but i'm just trying to figure out how to do it all because I know I'm going to keep doing boot camp and I know that I'm committed to the Riverbank Run on May 8th. This is the calendar I was thinking of but it puts a wrech in my bootcamp schedule until May 8.

Sun- off
Monday- run
Tuesday- bootcamp
Wednesday- run
Thursday- bootcamp
Friday- run
Saturday- run

 Maybe I'll just suck up doing doubles until May 8 .... hmmmmmmmmm........ (wow, I can't believe how much I just typed. I think I was just "brain dumping")
