Yesterday on my 16 miler in Chicago I wore my Spibelt, like I always do on long runs. But, after a mid-run bathroom break I put it back on a little to quickly and ended up with a huge burn/cut on my side.
I didn’t realize until I got in the shower after the run and it stung like crazy Now it looks like a slice in my side and it’s pretty gross. Actually, it doesn’t look that bad in this picture – but I still thought I’d share. Just another service of R.E.R. You’re welcome.
My legs feel tight and sore from yesterday (I really think an ice bath would help this) so I just took a casual walk with my dogs to get loosened up.
For breakfast I made a yogurt bowl with Greek yogurt, apple-banana, watermelon, chia seeds, cereals and almond butter.
Just what the previously out of town blogger ordered.
Remember those Nutella cookies I ate courtesy of my roomie, Kelly? Here’s the recipe from her blog!
2 Month Marathon Count Down!
My upcoming marathon is 2 months from tomorrow! I really want to PR so I need to start taking my training and fueling more seriously. On the flight last night I reassessed my training program and eating plan. I am on the right track, but need to make some tweaks to it in order to lose a few pounds before the race and run a sub-4 hour!
Yesterday Chandra took my body fat percentage and it is 26.8. The healthy range for women is 18-24%. So, another one of my goals is to get this number in the healthy range. The best way to do this is to clean up my eating and strength train.
2 Months to My Marathon Plan:
Run 4-5 days a week: 1 speed, 1 tempo, 1 long run, 1 fun run
Strength Train 2 days a week
Cut back on artificial sweeteners and processed foods. I think all the diet drinks and processed snacks are confusing my cravings and hunger signals (Intuitive Eating).
Get 8 hours of sleep a night. I eat unnecessarily when I’m tired and I’m more tired lately because I’m running so much and my life is crazy.
Question: Have you ever had your body fat percentage taken? Would you want to?
