Today was a 20 minute run at a moderate intensity.
Well, it was supposed to be. What it actually was, was shit!
I'm really mad at myself because I ate crap yesterday (lots of chocolate etc) and then had a fair bit of alcohol in the evening. Didn't drink enough water yesterday or today, had complete crap for breakfast and lunch today and as a result my run was horrible.
Nothing felt right. My right shin and thigh were insanely tight on the last half mile, my pace was irratic (it's normally barely more than speed walking, but at least it's a pace of sorts), I was all over the place in the literal sense on the road and as a result almost got killed my a bus!
I am mildly happy with the fact that I got further than before (only by about 500metres). However, I am increasingly aware that I can't carry on eating the kinds of foods that I have been and expect the running/cycling to work miracles.
I'm sitting down this afternoon and examining my average daily food and liquid intake, what form it comes in, what quantities and at what time. I think I have to make some further changes to my lifestyle in order for this to work as I want it to.
I'm hoping tomorrow's cycle is a bit better for me and I don't hate it anywhere near as much as I hated that run!
