It’s been a couple of days since I posted, so it’s time to update on how my training is coming along. Tuesday night I ran three miles and it was pretty killer. I think it was about 90 degrees outside and close to 90% humidity. I cannot wait for October. The weather should be nicer by then, I hope anyway… So that run went pretty well. Wednesday was cross training day, so I biked for 5 miles. It was a nice bike ride around the neighborhood. I didn’t do anything really challenging, but I definitely enjoyed myself. I’m starting to wonder why I never rode a bike before. I have definitely loved getting into bike riding. Definitely no mountain biking for me, but roads and easy trails are awesome. Thursday was back to running and weight training, so I ran about 2.5 miles Thursday morning and I went to Curves for some circuit training in the afternoon. My run on Tuesday was not the greatest; I was a little bit dehydrated. I’ve come to learn how important it is to stay hydrated, especially in the summer in Texas. I can tell a huge difference when I haven’t had enough water before a workout. It’s really not fun to run without sufficient water consumption. So here’s my tip for the day: If you are going to workout, make sure you’ve had enough water prior to your workout. You’ll feel the difference. Today was a rest day. After a run and working out, it’s nice to have a day off. Tomorrow is more cross training and then a long run on Sunday. The weekend should be fun!
