Mediocre Runners

Just got back from a three-day conference down at Ft. Bragg, NC and it’s SO good to be home, *sigh* I was fairly ambitious and planned on working out all three days down there, but lack of sleep and gross-heavy military food (think grey salisbury steak, fried pork cutlets, and over-boiled, buttery canned vegetables) got in the way of that. I tried to go for a run yesterday (4 hrs after lunch), and could only run about a mile and half before a weird nausea-heartburn thing started kicking in. So fast-forward to today: got home (made sure to grub on Lara bars, nuts, and apples on the six hour drive up) and went for a five-mile run in FORTY-FIVE minutes!! 9 minute-miles x 5 – woo woo! (can you tell I’m proud?) Moral of the story: sleep + healthy/whole foods = good workouts–for me at least, in my mediocre state….I know a lot of harder-core peeps who can run on 5 hrs of sleep, eat a cheeseburger an hour before their run and pump out 6 miles no prob. But that’s what this blog is all about, figuring out what works for me

Poplin-Green Wedding this weekend at a Winery in Berryville, but will post next week’s workout goals on Sunday evening.
