My running conditions were miserable today it was colder raining and I had that stupid water bottle in my hand again. Although I had a great run, I tried to be strict about my times for each of my miles which helped me concentrate and keep a good pace. Overall it turned out to be a good run. Afterwards I did some basic pilates and some pushups.

A little bit of color on your plate makes it 10% better.
Also I was reading a book about when cooking and preparing food you should not pick at it and eat until everything is ready. Its discipline I suppose, but it makes you appreciate the food all the more.
Hm that is an interesting comment about not picking at your food - ill try that one. It makes sense, to delay gratification :-).
ReplyDeleteEven though you think those water bottles are annoying, i am thinking about getting one of those belts that has the two small bottles on it. I think i may look like a big running dork, but its worth it.
It sounds like you are eating very healthy, and im jealous! i definitely need to get back to the store, and start focusing more on my diet. I am definitely devoted to my running, but improving my diet does not come as naturally for me.
Send me some recipes!
