I wasn't tired this morning, but I sure am now. My fault!
This morning I did an approximate 8 mile run, followed by almost an hour of swimming in Lake Sammamish. I felt pretty good for both. But then I decided to sneak in a weight-lifting workout - the circuit training class - and realized I couldn't run fast without a super-high heart rate and feeling yucky. Hello overtraining! It's been a while since I saw you (it was last just after I did the marathon).
So, no more sneaking in extra workouts - and next week, it was supposed to be a recovery week and I thought I wouldn't bother, but now I think I will. I probably need to.
So, today's data:
Food:
Pre-workout: Vitatop and milk in coffee, 130 cals
Breakfast: Banana bread, milk in coffee, ham and cheese: 545 cals
Snack: String cheese, 60 cals
Lunch: Yogurt with fruit and granola, 3 oz turkey breast: 500 cals
Snack: String cheese, 60 cals
Dinner: Chicken breast, carrots, potato: 600 cals
total today: 1895 calories
Exercise:
Run 90 minutes
Swim 60 minutes
Circuit training 60 minutes
Total calories burned: 1650
