Hi guys! Hope you’re having a glorious, relaxing Sunday
I started the day off with a 6-miler! It was the last long-ish run before the Princess Half next Sunday. Yikers!
Before leaving the casa, I had 1/2 banana with almond butter, cinnamon and mesquite.
I didn’t want to go to heavy with the food, after last week’s 12-miler with a rock in my stomach, and since it was a shorter run, that combo worked perfectly.
Here are our splits:
Mile 1: 9:17
Mile 2: 9:15
Mile 3: 9:14
Mile 4: 9:36
Mile 5: 9:01
Mile 6: 9:37
Walked .47 and stretched: 16:04
Not too shabby
Even though I’m definitely starting to feel those pre-race jitters, I’m hoping to CONQUER the half next weekend
When I got back to the casa, I chugged this carton of electrolyte and potassium perfection:
And munched the bfast cookie I put in the fridge last night:
-1/2 C multigrain oats
-1 T almond butter
-half banana
-1 T maca
-1 T Chia Goodness (chocolate flavor)
-almond milk
It was everything I could wish for
I just got Tinkerbell’s vegan GF cornbread in the oven and am about to work on a workout plan and then hit the yoga mat.
No strength training for this chica AT ALL this week! I don’t want to be the least bit sore for next week’s race (my leggies were a little sore today while I was running), so it’s just going to be Zumba, pilates, short runs and yoga. I’m actually a little excited to take a rest from the iron-pumping and jump back into it refreshed and rejuvenated after the half.
Hope you have a wonderful day <3
xoxo,
Gina
