Tuesday's three

I was scheduled to head out for a three mile run this morning but was feeling a little sick. So I waited a while and decided to do it anyways. I have to say that may have been the toughest three miles I have run in quite some time. So I do not recommend running when you are not feeling the greatest.

My Nike+ still needs to be calibrated again as it says that I finished three miles when it was basically 3.2 according to the maps. You can see that below on the Runkeeper map.





I am not disappointed in the run given the circumstances. Actually, I am happy to have finished. I really think I am making some great progress just from a mental perspective. Not too long ago I would have said to forget the run but I didn't and I am proud of that. Instead, I ran 3.19 miles in 35:30 for an 11:08 per mile pace. Not the greatest time but its there for me to improve upon.

Happy to report that my net caloric intake yesterday was about 150 below my allotted amount. I am eating healthy and I am eating until I am full. I am not going hungry because I do not have enough calories left in the day. So chalk up two good things today.

Next run is another three miler on Thursday. I will try to come in under 11 minutes per mile.
