Day 1

I am sore.  Too sore.  Why you ask?  Because I went too hard too fast.  I woke up this morning excited to go running.  I threw on my clothes, said hey to my roommate, and was on the run.  I started out running full speed but quickly found that it was quite difficult to do and that it hurt my shine a LOT.  Not wanting to lose my excitement, I decided to alternate.  I would run to a cross street, and then walk briskly to the next. I did this for about a mile when I decided to turn around.  I was getting a weird beating in my heart, and my chest hurt a lot.  On the trip back I found that my legs were beginning to ache.  When I got home I walked around for a bit cleaning, and then decided I needed something to eat.  I wasn't particularly hungry but I thought it would be good for me to eat something.

When I got to my kitchen I remembered I had frozen fruit.  SO I piled in mangos, berries, greek yogurt, and a bit of V8 SPlash.  I used the blender and then poured it in a glass.  It was so good!  It was filling and tasty, meaning I wasn't hungry again for 4 hours.

I spent the rest of the day cleaning (burning calories for sure!), and then went to a friends for dinner.  All in all I would say that I had a great day.

I am, however, still sore from the run.

What I learned today:

1. Always stretch before and after exercise.  Always

2. A smoothie is a great alternative to a full breakfast.  So good!

3. If I stay busy then I do not have a desire to eat when bored because I am never bored!
