This is my last Sunday chilling out. Every Sunday after this will be my 'Long Run' day, all the way up until the marathon in September. I didn't sit on my ass all day though, I went swimming and did some laps in the gorgeous Caribbean waters. Gotta take advantage of it while we're here.
Stuart's making a pork roast tonight. I'm freaking out about it. We're eating early-ish, which is good, so I won't feel like I want to die tomorrow morning for my first 3-mile jog.
It's so cool to look at my calendar and see that I've completed a whole week of training already. Stuart has agreed to do my cross-training sessions with me in the morning from now on. He did over 3 miles this morning on the treadmill, which is really great, but I have warned him about my experience in getting burned out by forcing yourself to do too much in the early days of training.
Food:
11am - 2 eggs, 1 piece white toast w/butter, Heinz beans, 2 pieces bacon, 6 mushrooms, 2 cups coffee
3.30pm - 1 can red bull
7.30pm - Roast pork with homemade applesauce, 1 and a half yorkshire puddings, boulangere potatoes (sliced potatoes with carmelized onions baked in chicken stock. O.M.G.), roasted carrots and brussel sprouts, gravy
11.30pm - 1 cup earl grey tea w/ lemon
Exercise:
Swam for like 45 mins total, 20 mins intensive swimming
I'm really eating like shit the last few days. I'm blaming it on company being here. Not a good excuse, but an excuse nonetheless. I'm going back on the healthy runner's diet after she leaves on Tuesday. Yogurt/granola/fruit for breakfast, loads of good carbs and vegetables the rest of the day. Hopefully Stuart will do a fish order from his fish supplier next week so I can cook some healthy delicious fishy meals too. A great thing is though that because I'm keeping track of everything, I can catch myself early and totally hold myself responsible.
