Downpour today! It started thunderstorming after I finished work, so I ran on the treadmill. After meeting Coach George Buckheit, I've learned to really warm-up. I took the first 1-2 miles at a very easy (9:30-9:00/mile pace) and then slightly (very gently) increased the pace down to 7:35/mile (for the last mile). I think I remember what a real recovery run is! It felt good, even if it was on the treadmill (I don't care what anyone else thinks or says, I always feel like the treadmill is more difficult than the road for running).
Lifted:
4x10 squats (light, 95lbs)
4x10 bench press (65lbs, last set at 75lbs)
3x7 pull-ups
3 circuits:
1 min front plank
1 min left side plank
1 min right side plank
25 push-ups
15 seconds rest
+ extra set of 25 push-ups (gotta get to 100!)
I changed my diet a little this week.
Breakfast: I made egg muffins with cheese and bell peppers--great for a quick meal! I eat 2-3 each morning (about 2-4 eggs total)
Lunch: Chicken and asparagus most days, or salad (today)
Dinner: Monday was chicken and asparagus. Tuesday was soup and a turkey sandwich. Wednesday was soup and ginger chicken from the Thai restaurant
Snacks: I bought some Quest bars, so I've had one a day each week. Extra 170kcal (20g of protein).
Water: Started carrying my water bottle. I didn't realize how dehydrate I've been!!
