Definitely starting to feel better and a bit more like myself these last two days. Yesterday I did a 10k trail run at lunch and that felt really good.
Then I managed to sneak out to the running store and by some new runners. I walked in the store not sure if I was going to buy new ones but just see what they had for price. But as soon as I saw the new colors of my regular runners I knew I was sold...pink and blue. Which is the color of most of my running gear...
I love them! There goes $170... and with a new pair of socks and tax over $200!! Good thing I worked an OT shift on Saturday :) I feel like my 6 year old when she gets new shoes and immediately wants to race around in them :)
Now I just need to figure out how to explain to my husband why they were necessary...lol. Not that he'd really care, but non-runners dont understand :)
So today I was excited to get out and try them out. I was doing a short speed drill with the following paces:
I did my warm-up, 2 miles at 7:08mins/mile and then cool down. With an average pace for the whole run of 8:31.
I felt pretty good during and when I finished, but later my legs were pretty achy. I havent taken a rest day since Saturday and I'm starting to feel it! The new shoes were wonderful though and made me smile every time I looked down :)
I was also starving all day today!! I had an extra apple and bit of protein but I felt like I wanted to eat everything in sight!!
We are headed camping this weekend which I know will be a bit of a food fest. I made campfire themed cupcakes for the potluck dinner we do at the campsite on Saturday :)
I managed to make cupcakes and decorate them without consuming any of the chips, frosting or cupcakes! Save it for the weekend :)
