Running Diary; Day 1 & 2
I may or may not have mentioned I signed up for a half marathon. It was suggested that I keep a diary to catalog my running experiences. Everything from the conditions I run in, to the shoes and clothes I wear, to the injuries I sustain. I'm also going to throw in a little emotional check into the mix, as well as what I eat each day. The idea is to give me a sense of what works, what doesn't, and how to better prepare in the future for the same conditions. 19 weeks of scheduled running, culminating in a half-marathon in New Orleans on October 30th of this year. Close to five months(ish) of prep-work. Wish me luck!
Day 1:
Distance: 2 miles
- jogged full distance
- 21:56 minutes
- t-shirt, Nike shorts, thin socks, big black sports bra
- New Balance 758gr shoes, new (first run in them)
Weather:
- 90 degrees, 61% humidity
- Dry, partially cloudy/sunny
~ @ 5:30pm
+apple juice +1 chocolate glazed, 1 regular glazed doughnut
+3 doughnut holes +2 slices pizza +1 serving pasta salad
+ice cream with 3 Oreos and chocolate syrup
Day 2:
Distance: 1.5 miles
- jogged full distance
- 20:39 minutes
- t-shirt, Nike shorts, thick socks, purple sports bra
- Nike Air Citius II+ MSL shoes, new (first run in them)
Weather:
- 85 degrees, 68% humidity
- Wet (puddles, mud), sun mostly set
~ @ 7:30pm
+1 bowl cocoa krispies (large)
+ homemade hamburger + 1/2 tomato +1 serving Doritos (small)
+1 fruit chiller popsicle
I can't remember much about day 1's post-run body 'temp', as in aches and/or pains, but today the balls of my feet were feeling kinda sore, my thighs were hurting a bit. Right this second my neck hurts, the muscle beneath my ear on the left side of my throat, especially when I try to stretch it. Ah, well. Work in the morning, we'll see if I feel like swimming at all while I'm there.
