Training Day 11
Today could not have been more beautiful. It was around 7pm this evening and the temperature was hovering around the mid 70's. The sun was shining and the slight breeze off the water was warm. Ah.... just the way Sherri likes it!
With the weather being perfect, Sherri decided to head out for a run. This would be her first attempt at 3.0 miles. The run took her a little longer than she wanted it to; she clocked in at 32 minutes and 35 seconds.
The one thing Sherri is beginning to realize is that she has to, has to, has to, learn how to properly fuel her body throughout the day, and before her run! When she doesn't give her body the needed calories (energy), she fails to perform at her best. The body must have enough internal resources to pull from so it can exert the energy required to complete the activity set before it. She knows what she needs to do, but she just doesn't always DO IT!! [Stupid is as Stupid does]
Sherri is looking at two more training days before race week - which is just a week away. Yikes!
Update on Steve: His leg is still bothering him and it appears he can tweak it pretty easily. So with that said, he will not be attempting to run until race day and even then, we will have to see.
A Sharing Moment:
What do you all eat to fuel your body before a run?
