7-15-13 All the Small Things




So this is roughly what my posts will look like from now on (only occasionally with the crazy mug to the right). I am starting this layout because it's the layout in the workbook I'm using to record my running numbers at the end of each run. Also RPE is on a scale of 1-10, ideal is sticking between 4 and 5.

Today
I discovered a few things today, they are small, but by small things are great things accomplished.

  1. Breathing, when I lack oxygen coming in, I lack performance going out. I attempted to set up an appointment with a doctor 
  2. I am using Altra Instinct Zero Drop running shoes, I am under the belief that with my weight I should be in running shoes with a little more cushion, so I will be getting the Altra Torin (still zero drop, but more cushin) when I replace my shoes.
  3. Hydration, I have felt dehydrated all day and drank half a Gatorade before I ran, then more water (taking a drink now) after that. I am feeling better now but need to focus more on getting water.
  4. The right clothes make a big difference. Even though I am not doing long runs (and won't be for about a month) having the right clothes now is making it much more comfortable to run.
So this is my day. 

Until Later,
Riley
