Yesterday was my first run of the year. I ran 5.5km outside in the snow in a painful 33mins. The snow was hard to run on and the path was very narrow. Any false step would cause my foot to drop into the snow and risk rolling my ankle. Also beware of the ice under the snow. It's best to run on sidewalks. If you can, run with a group or in areas where people will see you if you fall.
Today, I ran my first ever 10(.5)km. The pace was extremely slow but the point was to finish. Cue Austin Power's sound bite, "Yeah baby".
Eating right is important when training for a half marathon. I haven't done any research into the area so I don't know what I'm doing. Anyways, here is what I ate today:
Breakfast - didn't eat it because I slept in.
Lunch - chow mein
Post run - booster juice and water
Supper - bbq ribs, green beans and carrots, rice, pork, taro, sushi, roast beef, and punch to drink
Desert - cake, pineapple, chocolate
Evening snack - punch, pretzels, seaweed
I ate so much tonight because it was a family birthday party... and I can't say no to food when it's sitting in front of me. Here's to hoping I start eating better.
