I'm trying to change things up a bit. Today I ran with someone I haven't run with in years . . . actually since I trained with Kingwoodfit for a couple of years. Today we did a 6 mile run at East End Park . . . normally the people I run with want me to slow down and seriously I AM NOT A FAST RUNNER . . . well today Billie is faster that me so she set the pace I just kept up . . . so it was great. During the run we talked running. This is so different from the other people I run with that we talk about everything but running. Billie has run 10 marathons and is training for the Marine Corp marathon which is October 25. She is doing the ATP training which is running 6 days a week plus additional cross training. It is getting a bit hot and humid outside so I need to get serious about replacing my electroyltes even during a shorter run like today . . . at the end of the run I was toast. We compared notes at the end of the run and it looks like we plan to run together on Wednesdays.
After the run I went home and had a coconut water to replace my electroyltes. Did my monthly weigh in at Weight Watchers* and headed downtown to Bikram Yoga. Cheryl was instructing. I had not done Bikram since last Thursday so my body welcomed the practice.
*A little side note on Weight Watchers . . . it is a great program. I had never had a problem losing weight but keeping it off was another story. Along with other things my body was pretty messed up from the poor decisions of a teenage girl. I didn't understand that it is really okay to eat. I never knew what in the world I was suppose to weigh or eat for that matter. Now I eat to stay healthy. I know if I fall under 120 pounds I need to adjust my activity and fuel intake. In the same respect if I go over 130 pounds I need to adjust my activity and fuel intake. It is all about balance and proper food choices.
