Since I slacked off the last two days on running, I was fairly determined to get a good run in today. I am still not feeling 100 percent. But I'm thinking that what I'm feeling really is residual tiredness from the weekend and not the cusp of sickness.
I will not get sick. Traditionally I am a holiday sicky. I've spent many a holiday sniffling and coughing my way through the cheer of the season. It blows. But I successfully powered through last year without much sickness, and I'm determined to not be sick this year either. I got one of those fancy flu shots, and my diet and exercise regimen are simply much better than they've ever been.
Speaking of diet. I need to seriously up my veggie intake. My macros have been all over the place lately (granted that may be due to holiday meals--hello fat!).
Over at the forum, we are doing a holiday challenge to keep on track with our fitness goals through the holidays. This week I really want to focus on running. But I think next week's goal needs to be veggie and macro related.
I did successfully run 4.5 miles today in 46 minutes. I was rocking a 10:21 pace and only stopped to stretch my calves at about the two mile mark. I am pleased.
I am definitely off my training plan, but with a little bit of shuffling around on days, I should be able to jump back on track for this week without issue.
