Other than feeling a little sick/drained today, I had a decent run. I think because of feeling a little off, my HR was higher than usual.

Today was an enjoyable run. I never felt tired and my pace was almost as fast as my scheduled Tempo runs. My HR stayed low and I managed to be 13 secs faster on my 4k back.

NCHM Challenge - Run # 57

Tried to go out and do Speed training after supper but developed a cramp at the beginning of my first K, so I didn't make it through.

I really don't have numbers as my run was broken up into various parts. Overall, not a good run.

NCHM Challenge - Run # 56

With having a horrible run yesterday, and tonight is going to be a late night that will make tomorrow a tired day, I decided to run today.

Here are my numbers

I'm very glad I did run today as it was a great run.The only difficult part of this run was the last 2k (the last k being all uphill) were getting hard. My split time was about 50 secs slower, but like I said, a good part of it was uphill. With running today (instead of tomorrow), I'm going to try and do some speed training on Wednesday. Should be fun, I just need to find a 1.6k stretch of flat pavement to run on.

14 day Challenge

I wanted to start a 14 day challenge yesterday, but circumstances beyond my control prevented me, so I'm starting it today.

I will not eat any junk food (chips or chocolate) for 14 days.

Since completing my 15 day Cleanse, I find that I've been munching on junk way more than before and I need to put a stop to it. I'm not saying I'll never eat junk again, I just need to cut back, so eliminating it for 2 weeks will help me.

NCHM Challenge - Run # 55

It was bound to happen, and today it did. What you ask? A bad run, that is what.

Here are my numbers

Type of Run	LSD	10:1	OK

Pace	7:19	7:12	OK
Average HR	137-148	147	OK
Max HR	180	160	OK
Calories Burned		987	total: 38603

There's many things I can blame it on: heat, tired, eating before run, lazy. But in reality I just couldn't push through it, so I only have myself to blame. Hopefully, the rest of my runs are good enough to make up for this one.
