Short blog tonight.
Did not drink NUUNs today - figured, oh hey, not running, no need.
WRONG.
Had major dizziness/light-headedness at yoga, and it had nothing to do with going up and down. Too much water + Not enough salt = Low Blood Pressure
I actually had to stop at the BF's house and cry for some gatorade to make it home (Biked it ~3.5 miles roundtrip). He happily obliged and let me pick at his pasta dinner. (<3)
Moral of the story: Eat More Salt!
I tell them all the work is done and regardless of how it has gone, the key thing is to relax and realize that the months of training are more important than the last two weeks, so relaxing and letting that training come to fruition is most important. As Coach Dellinger used to say, "the hay is in the barn!"

Important things for half marathon preparations
Probably the hardest thing to get used to on this marathon schedule thingy is the rest days. I'm used to running Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays (sometimes), and Saturdays (sometimes). Now I'm relegated to Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I'm going to fill some of those rest days with my yoga practice, but today, the very first Monday of my 8 week course, I found myself antsy.
That, and my feat still hurt from walking around on Saturday.
Let's see - nothing to do, feet hurt....I think that says pedicure.
Nice and Clean! |
