I swallowed my gum
I know my chiropractor would yell at me for chewing gum in the first place, much less chewing gum while running, but I did and today I did pay for it a little bit. Swallowing gum is so gross. I hate when it's in that spot in your throat where it is almost choking you and you just know you have to swallow. Yuck. It made my stomach feel weird.
Anyway yesterday I did not get out for a run. I am a big fat slacker! Today I ran 6 miles on the treadmill with a pace ranging from 9:05 to 7:19. It is good for me to run on the treadmill sometimes so I do speed work, but not all the time. So I need to work on that. After I ran, I ellipticalled for 25 minutes. Now I am starving. I had a jamba juice and a power bar for lunch. I am trying to eat more bananas because potassium supposedly helps you retain hydration which would be nice. I feel like I drink piles of water and I am still dehydrated which is so annoying!
I think that tomorrow I can do a double workout because we are possibly going to the movies, and my work/gym are a block from a movie theater. So that would be good. We blissfully have no plans tonight or tomorrow night so tonight I am cooking a nice stir fry I believe. I would like to say that while the beef is marinating I will go for a run, but who am I kidding!
