fire and ice! well... maybe not ice but lots of water

 

 

Today I was going solo, it was too cold for the kidos so Zanna took one for the team and stayed home while I did the workout. I got home really late so didn't start until 8:30. Got through the warm-up, threw on my hoodie, grabbed the timer and went at it. I tried to map it out using mapmyrun.com but miscalculated somehow and wound up going 2.24 km but it felt REALLY good. I mean, it hurt like an SOB but it felt good to push and have the wind in my face. Then the rain started coming down hard, I was the only one outside running and people on their patios just watched me clipidy clop on by, the random cold breeze would push me back and the water poured off my brow. I felt empowered, but I am now extremely tired. I didn't have means to track 400 meters at a time so I just gauged it by blocks and basically ran as long as I could then stopped for a 1 min. I finished the whole thing in 20:23 then sat down to a hot bowl of Paleo beef stew! This eating clean thing really works, I have dropped 5 lbs in the last three days. I still feel horrible that it took me over 20 min to run 1.5 miles but hey, its a work in progress right?
