Pinky Promise Kept!
Well, I promised myself yesterday I would run today to “start off on the right foot” for my 10K training, and I did. I ran 3 miles around my neighborhood in my VFFs, and I felt like I was muscling through the whole thing. The first 1/3, my legs were sluggish, the second 1/3 was much faster and better because I really concentrated on rotating my hips, knees, and feet forward, and leaning from my ankles. I was tired the last 1/3 and had to slow down.
While I was running, I was thinking how I feel like I have more muscle in my body, which is allowing me to keep my average pace much higher than I used to be able to, but I don’t feel light on my feet yet. I think this is because I am eating a lot more protein and fat (always organic, grass fed) on this GAPS diet, and it is building strong bones and muscle. My cardio ability is way down from where it used to be five months ago, and all I have to do is run more to get that back in shape, but at least I have the strength to power through a workout like today’s.
All in all, a successful beginning to my goal of running a 10K in less than an hour on April 9th.
