5.25 miles | 60 minutes | Early AM
1.5 mi warm-up
7×400m intervals with 200m recovery jogs
1.5 mi cool down
Since the clocks changed last weekend, the sky is no longer dark when I set out for my morning run. Still, I ran on the treadmill at the gym, partially out of habit, and partially because the gym is warm.
My run suffered only slightly from last night’s restless sleep. They were at it again in the roof - I swear, the critters were having a relay race up there. Running around. Stealing peanut butter from the traps. The noise was all very distressing, and like a girl, I barricaded myself in my bedroom, stuffing old sheets under the door, putting on earplugs, and sleeping with a light on. What a sissy.
Today I realized that there are two aspects of my run that get overlooked in traditional logging tekniques: the sounds on my iPod Shuffle, and my post-run recovery meal, a testament to my love for food and rewards. And I can’t deny that one of my major motivations for running is so that I can enjoy more food! So today, I fill in these gaps:
Sounds: Podcasts are my savior! A bummer of a TWiT episode, but a lovely story about Gombrich’s “A Little History of The World” on NPR Books.
Fuel: Smoothie made with yogurt, protein powder, banana, strawberry, prunes, wheat germ and milk. And a piece of toast!
