The good news... I was able to run more than last week, even with a harder schedule! The bad news... I wasn't feeling the best while I was running, but I didn't feel my worst either so I'm not quite sure if it really is bad news.
One thing that really struck me this week, well actually this morning was diet. I know I've talked about it before and I've said I'm "calorie aware", but I've fallen off of that and while I haven't been letting myself completely go, I haven't been strict with what I should and shouldn't be eating.
One of the biggest things I realized is that I really do need to drink more water. It would help 3 things. First my diet since water has no calories. Second my running because it should cut down some of the dehydration cramps I've been having lately. Third my budgets because I don't really have that much money since I recently bought a house with the help of my parents.
It's amazing how small things can help so many things. I know it's going to be hard because I really like having the fizzy carbonation, but I will start to resist!
On good news, I have started stretching more (thanks to the motivations from HBBC) and my calves are feeling a lot better during my runs. My knee hurt a bit today but I'm blaming the heels I was walking around in most of the week. Luckily I'm back to wearing tennis shoes again next week for work (I'm back in my normal office and area).
