Running Changes

Yesterday, I managed to get in another 2 1/2 miles! Yeah! That makes the weeks total to 7 1/2 miles! Better than getting no miles in at all. I'll take it!

Well, I decided to make some running changes. For starters, I ran in the morning! Even before my first cup of coffee! It worked. I got out there and made my goal, even without that good ol' dark roasted bean perking life into my veins! I decided with the summer heat, I'm going to have to run in the mornings. I like running in the late evenings, but I think I'm too tired by the time evening comes along.

The next change I'm making is in my diet. I took away too many fruits and veggies to avoid problems with runner's gut, and I was eating way too much white flour stuff. I am going to find a better balance.

Also, I am increasing my vitamin C, adding calcium, taking acidophilus, and garlic for some immune boosting.

Then I am going to try to cut out as much sugar as I can. That will take some Holy Ghost self-control power! The Lord tells me to pray specifically, so I'll be specific in this area. Finally, I need to drink even more water than I have been. If I can make a goal to drink 72 oz. a day, that will be more than what I've been taking in.

Today is Sunday. I'm feeling a twinge of a sore throat and my sinuses are acting up. I did take some sinus medicine. I think I'll rest tomorrow and get in a run on Tuesday. I'm refusing to feel discouraged about it. I'm going to think "healthy" thoughts!
