Another weekend passes

This weekend had its highs and lows for running. Friday was my regular day off, Saturday was a Peak Centre day and Sunday was my long (hot) run.

My nutrition on Saturday was really good. The workout went well and I felt amazing on the run. Sunday was not the same story. I felt off right from the beginning. Not to panic, this was a really good opportunity to run under less than ideal conditions. I think because of the heat and humidity I was dehydrated before I even started. Fortunately, I took a route with lots of water fountains. I did find it harder to consume my calories, so again another challenge to work through. I think in the end I did consume enough calories. Nonetheless, I was glad to be done at the end as this one was simply hot.

We started our summer Yoga class Sunday afternoon. Do I ever need it. Even with regular stretching, there are a number of areas that just don’t get stretched the same way we do during the yoga class. I think it comes down to the fact that we don’t stretch for 90 minutes after a run but that’s how long the yoga class is. What’s going to be a shame is that we’ll mix the next two Sundays because of holidays.

Have to keep this short as work is calling for the day. Back to a regular run week after last week’s rest week. The rest week was nice.

Morning weight:- 199.6 lbs

Workouts:-
Saturday
- 15 min warm-up
- strength and conditioning workout
- 35 cool down(schedule total run 45 minutes)

Sunday
- 15 minutes low zone 1
- 85 min high zone 1 (9.8 km/h – 10.8 km/h)
-20 minutes low zone 1

Ended up warming up by taking the ‘Learn to Run’ group out at the Running Room first. This was a very, very slow warm-up which is an ideal way to start. Went out for the scheduled run after the warm-up.
