Exercise
Today I ran 5 miles on the treadmill at the community center (it was raining outside). I ran the "hill" program. I started at 6.3 mph at level 10, but quickly dropped down to level 7 (probably after about 8 minutes). After about 15 minutes of that I dropped down to level 4 and then dropped to 6 mph. Basically I was feeling pretty tired and low-energy. I'm not sure why as I slept pretty well last night (although I woke up early at 4:45) and I ate well too. At least I think I ate well. Maybe I need to start thinking about increasing my carb load?
Total on the treadmill... 5 miles, 800 calories burned, 450 feet climbed. A good workout for Wednesday of Week Two, Intermediate Level 1 in the training program.
Nutrition
Last night I had more of Handan's Chicken, Chick Pea and Veggie dish followed by a bowl of cereal for dessert. This morning I had my usual oatmeal with raisins and walnuts. At 10 I had an apple snack and at 11 I had a tuna fish on bagel sandwich. I had a banana for a 1:00 snack and then before I went to the gym I ate a PowerBar. I'd hoped the PowerBar would give me energy for the workout, but I think I didn't eat it long enough before the exercise to be effective. Take note Jeremy... don't repeat this mistake.
