Figuring Things Out

So I've been testing my body again lately.  Last week I was testing out milk and my body failed miserably.  Over the Thanksgiving holidays I pretty much ate what I wanted so by the end of the week I felt like a bloated, fat mess.  So on Monday I decided to cut out the gluten and sugar, but keep drinking chocolate milk to see how I felt in 5 days.  I picked 5 days because normally 5 days of eating no gluten, no sugar, and no milk has me feeling pretty good and a few pounds lighter.  Not this time around, so I'm blaming it on the milk.  This week I'm going milk free, and mostly gluten free with a little bit of sugar thrown in so we'll see how I feel on Friday.

Workout

Running- I ran 6.3ish miles in 59:48ish!  Give or take a few seconds.  :)

I was so worried about this run and I put it off for a whole week, but I knew I had to do it.  I'm not sure if it was because I didn't want to miss CF for a run or if I was worried it would hurt or if I wasn't looking forward to it.  I don't know, but man it was a great run! 

I started off thinking if I finished in 66 minutes, I'd be happy with that.  11 minutes per mile sounded reasonable (I was going to only do 6 miles).  As I started getting ready for the run I started thinking about my goal.  Why was I planning on running so slow?  I have the endurance to run a much faster pace than 11 min/miles, so why not try and go faster.  My body needs to get used to the pounding on the pavement that comes along with running, not the endurance.  I figured that 6 miles of pounding, was 6 miles of pounding, whether it was slower or faster.  So, I decided to try faster.  Even though I was going faster, it was still a pretty comfortable pace.  Somewhere along the way I decided to just do the 6.3 and I got to the halfway point at 30:03.  At that point I wasn't sure I could keep the pace on the way back.  I was afraid everything would start hurting and I'd slow down.  I took a 30 second walk break, then started running again.  Towards the end I really had to focus on my form because I could feel it going bad since I was getting tired.  I ended up finishing the second half in 29:44 and that included the 30 seconds of walking!  I was so pumped and still am! 

I was afraid I'd be pretty sore the next 2 days, but i wasn't!

So excited and can't wait to go run again!
