Yesterday was a good workout. It had been a while since I had put in a good distance run, and so I let the bike ride go so I could have the energy to do it. I went to the YMCA and did a mile swim (36 laps) in just under 30 minutes. Right after I headed out on a trail (nice and flat) for a 14.2 mile run, which I did in 105 minutes. That would make an average of somewhere around 7:25 mile splits. So not fast, but a good pace for me during a good distance run.
I learned a lesson along the way. Swimming takes off any deoderant you were previously wearing and can cause quite the rash around the armpit area as a result. Just a heads up in case you ever want to do something similar.
One more thing. I got some of Dave's Killer Bread from Costco recently, and it's done murder on my digestive tract. In addition, I nibbled on a Cliff bar along the run. Needless to say, my colon is probably cleaner than it's ever been. Mad stomache aches throughout the run, but hopefully the worst is over.
ReplyDeleteI've been hitting those Cliff bars as well. Much better than some of the pasty/chalky energy bars out there, and goes down easy while working out.
ReplyDeleteThey're good on the bike, not as nice for a run. I remember your biochemistry to be rather sensitive, I'd be careful with those if I were you.
