Some truly great runners swear by splitting their runs up - part in the morning and part in the afternoon. They claim it helps them to burn fat and build more lean muscle.
Yesterday, I had to cut my morning run short for reasons that I will spare you of, so I completed six miles before work and went for another two afterwards. I can't say exactly how it felt, but it certainly didn't feel good. It may have been the Nike Shox, which even though they are ultra cute, are not conducive to running. Or, it may have been the fact that it was one hundred degrees in the gym after work. But, I'm going to play it safe from now on...Finish a run when I start it, not several hours later.
Tomorrow closes out the training week, as well as a hectic week at the office. I am impatiently waiting to arrive on the beach in Maine. A wonderful long weekend of swimming, great food and a little shopping, of course. The weather looks sunny and hot - exactly what I was hoping for. Bags are packed and waiting by the door. Now, this is one of my greatest weaknesses. No matter where I am going or how long I am going for, it can never be just ONE bag, it is always plural. I don't know where I get this need for "stuff" from, but I envy those people who can go somewhere for a week and bring one bag that's smaller than what I bring to work everyday.
A great weekend to everyone - enjoy the summer while it's here.
My next post will include some pictures of the gorgeous scenery on the Maine coast.
