Centennial Park today
A lovely cool morning for a run again this morning; I didn't have to worry about getting up a bit later. I headed down through Queen's Park and did my loop of the lake in Centennial and then back through Queen's Park and home. My programme was 2 mins walking and 12 mins running x 3 which is what I did. I'm feeling quite energetic still and Mr lulu says I actually look a lot healthier at the moment; less tired and without the big dark circles under my eyes. I certainly feel better and this is reflected my running as today I did 6.5km with an average pace of 6.23/km and that includes me walking for 6 mins so I must have been speeding along for the running bits. I didn't have the heavy, dead legs that I get often when I'm running and my breathing seemed easier. Let's hope it continues.Niggle status: Achilles a bit better, but I felt it later in the run. Knee; complained early on and then was fine. I also need to do more of my VMO/quad strengthening which I've neglected a bit this week so I'm going to have to add that to my blog each day so you can all nag me if I haven't done them Today I did about 50 squats and 20 one leg stair squats, plus 2 static squats against the wall. I'll think I'll time the static squats so I can see if I can do it for longer each day. I need to add in some glute strenthening as well now I'm only seeing Aqua Satan once a week.
Food
Pre-run 1/2 strength Endura
B: Banana protein smoothie
MT: 3 oatcakes and Cott. cheese
L: Jaffa protein Smoothis (choc powder with 1/2 OJ and half low fat soy)

Good on you Lulu. Looks like your program is serving you well.
I'm glad to hear you're feeling better Lulu and I hope those niggles disappear.
Good to read the energy is picking up, and on that diet too.
I quite like the bags under the eyes look. And I thought it was Bad Lulu's make-up.

Good to hear you felt good on the run and that pace is great when you consider you were walking in there too!!! Well Done.
