This week was freaking fantastic! The weather has warmed up and so I've been doing the last 5 to 10 min of my running barefoot as well as my cool down walk.
On day two of this week I hit a street with a dip on it that I have made sure to bypass, but have had in mind as a goal. It wasn't nearly as hard as I had imagined and I was able to do it with no issues at all. Actually heading up from my house to get over there was at least twice as hard as the incline coming out of the big scary dip. lol
I've also decided not to worry about the few lbs I was trying to lose and to just eat healthy and as much as I want. That has made some difference as far as my fatigue goes. Think I'll probably dig back out my vitamins as well.
I usually juice or make a fresh smoothie in the morning after exercising. Sometimes just that is enough to fill me up and I don't want to eat anything else for a while so I was thinking of getting some protein powder to add to them. If anyone reads this and has experience with protein powders that can be used in fresh juice and/or smoothies that would be great. Until then I was thinking of just adding some silken tofu as a protein source.
So far the only issue I've had is with my right calf being pretty tight. I made sure to stretch really well after running this morning and will do some stretches this weekend, but otherwise I feel good!
Bring on week 6!
