Ok my Saturday run was a nightmare... was up late with some relatives who were in town, so I decided to run later in the afternoon.  After doing some shopping and before eating (not a good idea) I decided I would get in my 6 miles for the day.  NO GO.. I was truly exhausted!  However, by getting out...the good thing is that I knew I was really tired and not just being lazy. 

This week really felt good, I was tired and knew that I was going to enjoy my Sunday day off!!  I am going to have to start researching foods to learn which ones give you RUNNING energy!!  :-) 

Until next week!!!

I hope you learned from the experience to get up early and get your run in ASAP. Few people will dare to schedule activities for you before 6:00 AM, so it is the best time to get your run done.

Regarding foods - stay away from junk. Just eliminating fast food from your diet will take you a long way. Replace red meat with fish and poultry, and eat less meat in general. Eat more nuts if you are not allergic to them. Replace white bread with whole wheat. Stay away from processed sugars, use natural ones, like honey and maple syrup, instead. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Drink juice or water instead of soda pop.
