AM - 7 Woke up early then chose to go back to bed until 6 and get a little more sleep. Once I did get up I was out the door within 5 minutes and the first mile was pretty slow. Took about 3 miles to warm up but I'm still feeling Tuesday's workout a bit. PM - 6 Unintentional progression run. 7:10, 6:59, 6:53, 6:38, 6:25, 6:06. Started feeling really good at the end and felt like I could keep dropping pace. I was surprised to feel energy and a little pep in my legs, they were heavy this morning. You have got to love the Idaho wind. My first 3 1/2 or so miles were pretty much straight in to it. Last one was straight into my side which made me feel like I was rocking back and forth with the gusts. Can I just say my blood test that said I was low in protein has been killing me the last few days. I eat a TON of meat, Saturday I ate 2 double cheese burgers and 4 hot dogs ....for lunch! I really don't want to add more to my diet. I may sound like a high school cheerleader but I really don't want to add protein and gain weight. Not sure what I'm supposed to do here. What about the advice to run a lot and eat like you're poor to get faster. Where can I get more protein? I drink shakes after every run, eat like a horse and take supplements. Now my wife is feeding me eggs every breakfast along with my normal food. Also low in tryglicerides don't even know where to start there. Me and google have a date tonight. I'm sure there's lots of junk out there for the semi-old man overly obsessed runner, ha ha ha, that can break it down for me. |
