I won’t bore you with all the details of my runs from this past week, so to some it up…..
My first run was a total time of 31.40 for 3.1 miles
The next day, I couldn’t resist getting a run in, so I ran a mile in 9.26! I was so happy to run such a good time (well a good time for someone who just started running 11 weeks ago). But running just one mile is easier than a 5K, you can give it everything you’ve got. When you are running a race, you’ve got to steady your pace!
The next day I ran 3.1 miles(5K) in 30 minutes exactly.
Today I ran a 5K in 30.22. I was so excited to run today and thought it was going to be gr
eat. After my last time of 30 minutes, I thought for sure that I would be under today. I set the treadmill to 6.0 which equals a pace of a 10 minute mile, and with my normal increase of speed at the end, my expectations for a lower time were high.
A few minutes in, fatigue set it and once again I felt the need to run to the restroom. If you don’t know it yet, being a vegan makes you a little more than *ehem* regular. I was determined to get through this run without stopping. It was difficult, as difficult as my very first run. Well, maybe the second, haha. I had to grab onto the treadmill a few times, which I never do! It’s cheating! I even had to take a 5 second break and at one point the rubber piece went flying off of my headphones. I kept on going and picked it up at the end.
I started a detox earlier this week and I’m sure it played a pivotal role in my lack of energy today. I have however, been losing weight. I have just one day of running left during my detox and just two days of detox left. I hope I do better during my next run! I’ll be sure to have some carbs the day before.
I would like to take a moment here to remind people to be considerate! If you go to the gym, wipe down your machines after use. I witness a super sweaty guy use a machine and not wipe it down. It just happened to be a machine that I had my eye on just before sweaty guy jumped on it. He walked away without a second thought and his sweat was dripping from it. EWWWWW!!!!! Luckily, sanitary wipes were close by, so I grabbed two (one just wasn’t going to cut it) and cleaned up the machine. Yes, I wanted to use it that badly!
It’s smoothie time!
Silken Tofu, great for smoothies!

Aren’t the pretty?
I think he liked it!
Well, I’m exhausted. I’m off to bed so that I can get up bright and early to hit the gym!
Where did you find soy whip? Wegman’s? This smoothie looks yummy!!
Wegmans has it and so does M.O.M.s and of course Whole Foods.
