I am very tired today.  I don't think I took very good care of myself yesterday in terms of nutrition, hydration, and rest.  I didn't run very hard yesterday, but I think the 3 a.m. wake-up did me in a little.

I ran at Valley park today for a fartlek workout.  I was mad to see that the dirt running trail that I like to run on is being torn up.  I hope they are not turning it into a basketball court. 

I ran a 15 minute warm up, followed by 2 sets of 5 minutes, 3minutes, 2 minutes with one to one recovery. (40 minutes total).  Then I ran home for my cool down.  (10 minutes).  I felt very sluggish.  Hopefully I will feel good again,soon.

Hello Emily, nice to meet you yesterday - I hear you about the early morning yesterday. I read that you had asked about hydration drinks a while back and mentioned it again today so I thought I would post ... I have been using an electrolyte mix that I found at Whole Foods called Electromix. I really like it because it has no sugar and is calorie free (http://www.evitamins.com/product.asp?pid=4704). The box with 36 packets lasts me almost 2 months.
