September 2 - Back on the Machine

After attempting to run/jog outside yesterday morning (read: too humid), I needed to get back on board today. No breakfast, headed to the gym. Saw my friend Lisa who wondered why I'd been MIA for a week. That aside, I was back, and hoping to run/walk 4-5 miles. I warmed up walking 5 minutes then alternated running with faster running, then a 1 minute walk break, then more of the same. I felt good overall and really good overall around 40 minutes into the workout. Even stopped midway through to walk for a few. Ended up at 5 miles in 50:50, not bad considering the 5 minute walking warm-up. Did 5.5 miles in 55:35 and then rounded out 60 minutes with 5.9 miles total. Average HR was 157. High HR was 174 I think. Average speed (including the warm-up + cool down walking) was 5.9 mph. Everytime I have sushi for dinner (we tried a new place last night) I do well running the next morning, which makes no sense since all of that sodium from the soy sauce would essentially make me retain water. However my toast w/ cashew butter and three egg omlette w/ spinach, cheese and salsa await me. Ahh the joys of running and refueling!
