Rest Day

Today is a rest day!!! I slept in until 6:30! WOW!!! The good news is that my legs are feeling better - the soreness is almost gone.

Went to the gym after work yesterday - got in a good workout. We did chest and back primarily. A little sore from that, but not like my legs were a few days ago.

I re-evaluated my eating over the past couple of days. I think I found the problem.

As soon as I get back from my run in the morning, I drink a bottle of Gatorade (130 calories). I shower and then drink a mixture that includes 8oz of juice (either apple - 130 calories, or grape - 160 calories), psyllium husk (45 calories) and Flax oil (110 calories). So before I even eat breakfast, I have already consumed over 400 calories.

My daily goal is to stay between 2000 and 2300 - so I'm consuming almost 20% of my daily calories in my post workout drinks.

So, starting with my next run, I will cut out either the Gatorade or the juice. We'll see how that goes.

Tomorrow is my LSD - but I have to have my son at baseball practice by 8:00 AM...so I guess I'll get up at 6:00 AM to run. I'm shooting for 6.5 miles!

Today's stats:
Ran: 0 miles
Weight: 254 pounds
