Saturday Run

I did a 3 mile run yesterday, which is a bit more than I've been doing. In the end I probably covered 3.5 miles total. It was pretty hard actually. The good thing is my right knee stopped hurting during and after a run, so I must have fixed my pronation on that side. I'm also not sore today, which is a plus. Now that it's been a day I forgot anything else about the run.

Nutritionally speaking - I'm a mess. I'm not eating very much, and certainly not enough for the amount of running I will be doing soon. Part of it is just that I've been busy, some of it is that I've been short on cash to buy groceries. Some of it is that the running combined with some personal factors have massively decreased my appetite. So I started taking a multi-vitamin. I should be doing this anyway, and now that I'm running it is even more important. The reason why I haven't taken them with regularity in the past is because multi-vitamins are freaking horse pills. But I'll stick with it this time.

Finally, and maybe TMI for you males, my uhh...cycle...is all out of whack. I should be getting the old p'rod around Wednesday, but my running must have shaken that crap loose because here it is. This is another reason I really have to watch my nutrition, as food and exercise really have in impact on your lady stuff. The most disconcerting is that I really shouldn't ever have any variation because of my birth control, especially this many days difference. Eeps!

I hate taking giant horse-pill vitamins, too, so I went years without taking vitamins. Then I found adult chewable vitamins at Trader Joe's. I recommend them highly.
