I didn't have enough time in my day to fit in the Chest & Back workout. But, I'm ok with it. I had a good run, and did ab work.

It seems like when I do my various loops in my neighborhood, when I get near my house, I'm ready to stop. So, instead of trying to figure out a loop that I'd be tempted to quit early on, I decided to head out for half my distance (2 1/2 miles) and then turn around and come back. That would ensure that my 5 mile run would be 5 miles, not shortened to 3 or 4 miles!

It was a struggle, heading out, however. I didn't want to get out there!! If I could have been, I would have been dragging myself out the door, kicking and screaming! But, I told myself I had to do it. I think, when I headed out, I was telling myself I could cut the run short if I didn't feel better. However, in my mind, my plan was to really stick to the 5 miles.

At about 2 miles, it suddenly dawned on me ... I felt great! I wasn't feeling cruddy like I was at home, before the run. It was this total epiphany ... I was "sightseeing" looking around, watching for cars, and listening to my tunes ... and I felt great!

I remembered to walk for my warm-up and cool-down. My pace wasn't great (I've definitely done better) ... 16:36 ... but I don't really care. I got out there and did my thing. And stuck with it for the full 5 miles. I'm getting a nice tan on my shoulders (running in a tank top).

During the last 15 minutes, or so of my run/walk, I noticed that the bottom of my foot was hurting. I fear injury ... not really training enough to be an "over-training" injury. So, I think I will change my plans for tomorrow (was going to do another 4 or 5 miler) ... and will do a shorter run, 25-30 minutes around the neighborhood. Along with a P90X workout, or two.

Goals:
  1. Workout.
  2. Eat (a carb-filled) breakfast within 1 hour of waking.
  3. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
  4. Drink 6 bottles of water.
  5. Stop eating at least 2 hours before bedtime.
  6. Take my vitamins.
