I wanted to get a run in today before work. My problem is that since I work sort of second shift hours, I am not an early riser. So, by the time I get up, drink my coffee, have breakfast, watch I Love Lucy, and get dressed, it's close to 11. Nothing about that was different today. So, I didn't head out until almost noon.
Made my own iced coffee. Yum!
The forecast for today was hot and humid. It was around 80 when I headed out, but the humidity wasn't too bad until I was running through the woods on the loop that I did. There, the humidity was so bad it was like running through a sauna.
My after my run. Yuck.
I was really proud of myself after the run. I didn't set any time goals. I just wanted to keep running with no walking. At one point, a half mile had passed before I even realized it.
My splits are pretty even. I missed mile 2, because my watch doesn't beep anymore. Time to start looking for new Garmins...but that's not for a while yet.
Otherwise, my fallback rules have been working pretty well. I haven't written anything yet. Drinking water has been working the best for me to curb my hunger. I think it just really helps me focus on serving sizes.
I am also up to Day 4 of plank a day. I started at about 20 seconds and now am up to just over a minute. And let me just say, my whole body is definitely getting a workout. I feel it in my arms, shoulders, abs, legs, etc.
