Day 12 (July 12)
As a recap of yesterday, I did a 30 minute spin workout on our Peloton bike. Felt pretty good, no records were set but the legs were not stiff as a board either. I had my protein smoothie for breakfast, along with some cucumbers, broccoli and carrots for a morning snack. For lunch, I reheated some pulled pork that we made earlier in the week in the good ole Instant Pot and had some more cucumbers and carrots. Later in the day, I was pretty hungry so I had an apple with a tablespoon of peanut butter and that really hit the spot and held me over till dinner. For dinner last night we had something we do every now and then, but really enjoy - Breakfast. We had scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and little tea biscuits (I could not resist and had to have 1). I know, super low cholesterol meal.
Like the night before, I did not get to bed at the time I wanted and probably did not get down until a little after 10:30PM. That in turn caused me to hit the snooze button at least 4 times this morning and I finally got up at 5:30AM.
I did another Peloton workout this morning, as I plan to do a long run tomorrow (8 miles is my plan). Very close to the same stats as yesterday, it was a good workout but nothing that left me completely spent.
Speaking of my training plan, so far I have not mentioned what it is because I have not really formalized it. I want to prioritize the quality of my runs that I put in, but I don't want to overtrain on the run. I have done that in the past and injured myself. My thinking right now is to run 4 days per week, spin on the bike 3 days and mix in strength training, stretching, foam rolling, and maybe yoga. Once I finalize my plan I will post it but for now I am going to work on building some consistent habits, baseline where I think I am and then go from there. Tomorrow I plan to do my long run of 7-8 miles.
