Had an awful run today. Just did not work. I made my plan for what I was going to do today but I got half way through, and whether I was just tired and my blisters were hurting and my shins were painful as heck, or if I'd just overextended and that meant I was intimidated by all I'd planned to do (an extra 600m and most, if not all of it in jogging, not walking) that I just got halfway and thought, there is no way I can do all of that again, plus more and harder. So I stopped, sat down in the shade for 10 minutes and stretched, then walked 3 more laps (so i could say I still did something), then ran one more lap. So it was crap, but not a complete waste of time.
I'll walk to and from Fairy Meadow as well this evening so I'm not being a complete lazy ass, and I won't eat anymore until dinner. That's not unhealthy, I just had 1 and a half roast beef sandwiches, I'm full as.
Next week I will have to tone down my runs a little, especially until I can get new shoes and my blisters heal. I will still try to add to them, but not so much.
Also, since it was week one, I exaggerated a little. The swings to the fence might not actually be 150m. I don't, I don't have an iPhone so I can't get an app to measure for me. So I will run from now on diagonally, across the park so it's definitely 150.
Next week I will run 3 times. Maybe 4, but we'll see.
Saturday: 10 laps (extended, because of the diagonal), jog/walk. That is an easy day. I will take tomorrow easyy because I want to regain my confidence.
Sunday: 11 laps, run the whole last lap.
Monday: Walk the dogs down to the beach and back.
Wednesday: 12 laps, 11 21 12 12 12 12 11 21 12 12 12 11. That'll be hard but possible I think. I did that on Wednesday except not the extended lap.
Friday: BONUS DAY. Walk down Towradgi and use the park there, mix it up.
Note: I don't have to do every one of these days, my goal is only 4 times, twice walking the dogs. Only 3 runs is my minimum.
As for food lately... it's okay. Not perfect. Lots of bread. Some fruit. A few Tim Tams. Macaroni. Yogurt. But snacking has been good, as in, I haven't really been doing it apart from fruit, and my sandwiches are all mixed grain, not white, and only sometimes with butter.
I'm not saying I've eliminated all bad habits, I haven't, and I've been slack on my Fab Ab February, but I'm okay with what I've been doing, it's good. Even just running 4 times this week is really good.
