Almost Missed It

The heat that is. I decided to run the 10K instead of row, I wanted to see the difference in my times as this is the 2nd time I have ever run a 10K. I started my run at 7:15 in the morning and ended about 8:05. It felt nice in the beginning of the run but by the end it was getting HOT! I started to get concerned when I was heading uphill and I had a head wind. I kept on trucking and my 5K time ended up to be 24:17. I feel my 5K time can decrease substantially since I was pacing myself. I did not look at my watch until the end and at the 5K mark. I did not want to try and run faster or slower, I just wanted to keep my pace. My 10K time was 50:59, previously 51:24. Not bad if you ask me. I was probably more impressed with my 5K as I thought it would be alot slower.

Something I have noticed with the Zone diet is it is like a drug, I can not do anything in the morning until I have eaten breakfast. Then it takes about an hour before I am really ready to go. I would have liked to start sooner this morning but I would have had to wake up earlier (which is no big deal) but I never know what the night will be like for Melissa with Layne. Also throughout the day I can tell when I need to eat before my stomach tells me. I eat 5 times a day at about the same time each time. I love it and feel great when I follow it. Boy can I tell when I am not eating right or miss a meal. I am going to say tomorrow's WOD will be FGB :)
