Toni Bourlon's Journal, 08 Mar 18

Well I'm a little aggravated with myself. Tuesday I ate well but missed my interval runs. Yesterday I didn't eat so well - I have a real problem with milk chocolate, and I bought some Dove chocolate eggs for work. I have no idea how much of that I ate. Anyway, had a decent dinner of chicken & yellow squash, then went to the gym for the strength training. Well, they'd finished the remodel & I had to hunt for my favorite machines, the seated rower & lat pulldowns, which I found & did with 40 & 50 lbs respectively. (Sadly, that's NOT me in the picture, LOL!) Then I used some heavier handweights for the rest, and I'm pretty pleased that I was able to go up on everything except the overhead press. Next, according to my training program I was to run a fast 1 - 3 miles, but brother, I could not run at all. I just felt too overheated, so ended up walking on the treadmill for 20 minutes. I don't know why, I wasn't wearing heavy clothes so maybe the heavier weights raised the body temp? Or maybe chocolate isn't that great a fuel for running (go figure!), or not enough water, I'm not sure. I'm planning to add a long running day on Saturdays, to get ready for the marathon relay run on April 29th. I'll be doing hill repeats tonight (no weights) & taking Friday as a rest day. We'll see how this goes!
