3 Days, this is it....

Just a quick one, since I'm tired and have to rise early tomorrow.

I did run today and I actually enjoyed it very much. After 3 days my body has not only fully recovered but is even fitter than before. Next training is scheduled for Thursday accordingly.

Here are todays stats:

Exe Time: 30:32 min (I ran the same distance as last Wednesday)
In Zone: 7:14 min (wow, this surprises me because I felt fine running at this pace, weird huh?)
Average Heartrate: 163 bpm

Keep running!

SCALE DAY - Horror or fun?

Hi, hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Mine certainly is, though no sunshine so far.

Today is sunday and that means SCALE DAY.

If I read the display right my weight is 63,5 kg. Which is more than last week. But since I started to run again and it's a certain time of month (you girls, know what I'm talking about) at which I always put on some weight thats okay with me.

As I've written in my Ouch - post I had been pretty sore after my first proper run in months and the Friday run wasn't exactly easy on me either. Interestingly enough yesterday and today I'm fine. No soreness whatsoever! Since I want to find out how many days of rest my body exactly needs I won't run today but tomorrow, we'll see how that works out.

Allright, I've promised a tasty recipe to you. I made this recipe up on my own and I LOVE IT. It's called Dream Apple, it's easy, fast, yummy, healthy, paleo diet okay and it contains only 3 ingredients.

Ingredients for 1 person:
1 apple (i like fuji, but you can take whatever apple you like)
pinenuts (as much as you like)
cinnamon (dito)







Additionally you'll need a small bowl, a knife and a spoon.

Preparation
Wash the apple and then diced it into the bowl, add as much pinenuts as you like and then sprinkle it with the cinnamon. Et voila. A tasty and paleolike dish or dessert. Enjoy it.



Okay, I've got some stuff to organize, I wish you a good start in the new week.

Keep running!

Ouch, ouch, ouch, OUCH, ouch,...

if you heard this yesterday afternoon and wondered, these were my thighs complaining with every step I took. They were really sore (and are now again). But I've been in the city anyway and bought myself a new sports bra. And I looked for a new pair of winter running tights, because I'll need a new one in December. There was only one left of the one I liked and that was 3 sizes to small for me. Yikes. Though I will lose weight through the training I won't lose that much that fast. :-(

For the ladies out there, I will put up a review on sports bras pretty soon. And there will be other reviews on running equipment too, which also guys might be interested in. Right now I'm bursting with ideas for my blogs. I've started out with two post it notes on my desk yesterday and the are both full already. So, you can be curious with what I'll come up next.

Okay let's get down to business, since I've had 2 days for recovery I went for a run this morning, even though my weaker self tried to stop me. But I ran right over it. ;-P

Todays stats:

Exe Time: 30 min (I cut off 150 m)
In Zone: 10:35 min (even worse than wednesday)
Average Heartrate: 158 bpm

As you can tell by them, I had to struggle. Might be, that 2 days of resting aren't enough for me at this point. Well, we'll see. Next training is scheduled for Sunday or Monday morning, not sure yet, because I want to check what kind of recovery time my body needs. And Tuesday I don't have the time to run in the morning.

Man, I can't wait to meet the other runners on Thursday at the marathon seminar. I'm so excited! Then I'll hopefully have some training partners for the long runs at the weekends. I'll take some pictures from the first meeting and post them here.

Since I won't run tomorrow, I'll tell you something about my diet and how I organize my running equipment, with some nice pics and a yummy and healthy recipe.


Keep running!
