Hello Journal !
Pacing myself more cleverly this week, training wise : I overdid it last week, jamming all my running miles in 4 consecutive days…bad bad bad. So exhausted by Wednesday night! I had to stay away from running a few days, because I was so feeling the strain in my thighs muscles Wed night. The hot bikram yoga session on Friday night was great to get what I call my personal deep tissue massage, then I rested Sat and Sunday.
Monday I had a day off work, and we went to Amsterdam for the day with a friend (1h30 train trip): we hit 2 of the fresh local food markets we like (super early), then a bit of shopping in town, art exhibition and late afternoon concert; a great day! We fell asleep on the train back, after walking that much!!
This week, it’s a different ball game: I jogged 6kms last night at easy pace to flush out and get back in the routine (I hadn’t run since Wednesday last week); tonight I intend to do the spinning class, preceded by a short 4 kms jog (20-25 mins); tomorrow night I’ll have a longer run, at faster pace (8 to 9 kms max); then a last run outdoors this week either Sat morning or Sunday morning (another 5-6 kms). My mistake was to steer away from my plan of ONE LONG RUN EVERY 2 WEEKS, and do it 2 consecutive weeks! Body not ready for that! ) Back to the plan!!!!
Weight wise I think I am down a bit more, but I decided not to get on the scales nor record anything until after my last run this weekend. Yep.
Diet wise : stocked plenty of super-foods these past 3 weeks, so I am doing great! I see that I have naturally upped my fats intake and reduced the carbs intake these past 2 weeks; is it the cold? Is it the evolving exercising regime? Not sure, but what I am sure of is I am not putting on weight.
Bye for now!
