Well 10 minutes post run and I have had a glass of water and a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Hopefully that will stave off the exhaustion I felt after the last time out.
This run felt like a normal run for the first time since I got Pleurisy. I think my body is finally totally healed!! Yay! My knee felt great...the only thing I felt was blessedly normal muscle tiredness! Oh goodness it feels so good to feel normal!
Today's run was about 7km's. Pretty easy going with some hills along the way. It was kind of chilly...the temperature dropped a good 5 degrees from the start of my run to when I got home. I was so warm and sweaty that it was not unbearable.
I am actually excited for the next run!
Foodwise...this weekend was a write off. I had the weekend off of work so I invited a girlfriend over and we ate home made brownies and 7 Layer dip until we were fit to burst! The next day (yesterday) I made a beef roast with a massive quantity of roasted root veggies to go with it. It was sooo good!!! Today however I have been pretty good. I will have eaten only about 1400 calories by the end of the day (going to have some more tasty roast in a bit here).
Buut anyway...sitting here and cooling off has made me start to shiver so I must log off and go have a nice hot shower.
Talk to you next time!

Busy, busy!
Hey all.
I finally made it out for a run yesterday after much postponing and making excuses. I'm starting to feel the pressure of exams again and a run was just the ticket to rid my body of built up tension. (It was also a GREAT way to avoid studying!) lol!
So the run was pretty uneventful. It was beautiful outside, we had just gotten a pretty good dumping of snow a couple days ago and yesterday a chinook rolled in. I think it was somewhere around plus 10 so it was really nice out. All the snow had melted and cleared from the sidewalks and it was pretty easy going.
I ran a nice 8km's and they went really well. ( there was a particular hill that kicked my ass though..../grumble grumble...I WILL conquer you! ) Even with the bit of hill work I was surprised that I ended up so tired afterwards. It was so bad that standing up made me feel like I was going to pass out! Have any of you experienced substantial fatigue after a run? What do you do to handle it? I'm thinking I will try drinking and/or eating more earlier in the day since I really didn't eat a whole lot before I headed out.
As for my 10k app progress, I just did week 7, day 1 which was 10 sets of running 4 minutes and walking 2, and have lost 2 lbs this week. I am officially back down to my pre-holiday weight of 149lbs. It feels sooo good to be under 150 again. :D 9lbs down and 20 more to go!
Hoping for a run tomorrow, will keep you posted.
Laters!
