3.5 miles

just got back from a semi-dark run in the rain! it was so much fun because the rain felt great. I ran out to monroe mills and back, then around my street home. this was an easy run and i felt pretty good all throughout. my time was 23:13,the temperature was 50.7 degrees F, and my estimated calories burnt was 417. One thing i noticed was that im very tired during the day. After thinking about what could play into this, the most likely reason could be the amount of food im eating. Yes, I eat healthy, and I get enough sleep, but maybe I need to be eating more carbs, whole grains to be exact. Every morning i eat a small breakfast, trying to get some protein and carbs, and I have a small lunch. Athletes require energy which made me realize im worn out because i need to eat more. So from now on, i plan on adding some extra carbs and healthy fats at some point in my day.

  1. Nice run. Be careful in the rain, especially when dark. It's a lot of fun though because it's cold at first but once you're warmed up you just think "why doesn't everyone do this?" lol
