Just finished my "6 mile" run. First run back in Barbados and WOW, it was really a struggle. I suppose I need to re-acclimate to the hot weather after being spoiled in the cool fresh Scottish atmosphere. I walked for a lot of it as well. Near the end, everything hurt, my hands were very red and swollen (something that happens to me sometimes), and my head felt like it was going to explode. Now that I'm back home, a headache has set in. Another thing, which was definitely my fault, was that I didn't get out the door til nearly 6.30am this morning. Bad me. This time of year is an absolute killer, and I really need to aim to leave at 5.30 or even 5am if I'm going to stack on the miles I need to complete in the coming weeks.
6.15am - 1 banana
8am - smoothie with banana, mango, blueberries, pumpkin seeds, almonds, oatmeal, almond milk, flaxseed oil, chia seeds, brown rice protein powder, ice
1pm - eggs benedict. yeaaah.
8pm - homemade pizza with ham, mushrooms, and another with goats cheese, spinach, fresh tomatoes.
Exercise:
6.30am - Long run, 6 miles, a lot of walking, over an hour.
5pm - 30 min dog walk
