Well, not quite the glorius return to easy running that I was hoping for! Still pretty tired and worn down from the last week or so, and apparently the multitude of brownies i'd been snacking on all day did nothing for my energy levels, but they were very nice brownies!
Managed to do the endurance run (3miles at faster than marathon pace, 1mile jog, 3miles again at faster than marathon pace), but my stride felt off, breathing was out of sync and legs felt unusually heavy. The fatigue eased off towards the end of the run as my muscles warmed up, and the discomfort could be partly due to the drop in temperature meaning my muscles aren't warming up as quickly.
What with christmas round the corner, may look at getting running trousers to wear but will likely just stick to the calf grips that Emi is planning on getting me and see how they work out.
All in all, feels good to go back to running, but tonight unfortunately served as a further example that I am simply not either a) eating enough, or b) eating the right things. ( or of course c) eating enough of the right things!)
Will have to make a concerted effort over the weekend to stock up on the healthier options, which im thinking will be fish, white meats, whole grains, beans and vegetables, and possibly a cook book to go along with it!
