CIM Training Week 1, Day 4: 5 miles

As I said to someone as I headed out for my run, what a difference a day makes! It turned out, it was in more ways than one.

Today's weather was warm. I thought it'd be cooler, so I didn't worry about the time I went out, but by the time I did, it was almost 80 degrees! And boy, did it affect my run. I didn't sleep much last night, which contributed, and found myself tired most of the day.

This run was the toughest one I've had in a long, long time. I started struggling only a mile in. My legs were sore, I was fatigued, and didn't want to run AT ALL. Two miles in, I was dreading the fact that I still had 3 miles to go. I did a good amount of walking, as well.





5 miles, 1:03 (OUCH!), 769 calories burned. Exhaustion achieved, and with a slow run, too.

So then tonight, I tried a recipe for Flourless Brownies, which uses beans instead of flour. In the end, they tasted like cubes of beans that tasted a bit like chocolate and had walnuts. I guess the dog will be happy.
