Breakfast:
A kale-cheese-egg scramble:
1/2 cup kale fried in about 1 T butter. Then 2 scrambled eggs cooked in. Mozzarella cheese was added at the end. I also had some tea with about 1T of heavy cream.
~ 5 carbs
Snack:
Before I ran I had about 6 cashews.
~ 4 carbs
The Run:
My mindset was to take it easy and just run a steady pace. I also wore my heart rate monitor because I wanted to get a base on that. Haven't done that in a while.
Distance: 4 miles
Overall pace: 10:20
Avg heart rate: 167
Max heart rate: 186
Temp: 38ยบ and slightly sunny
Terrain: around the 'hood...slight inclines here and there
Towards the end of the run, it was definitely always above 171, and held around 183 for quite some time. Any slight incline would make it go up. I don't think the 167 is accurate because I was stopped for about 1 and then 2 minutes during the run, in which it fell a bunch. Meh.
I felt pretty good the entire time. I still feel like hills are rough...but have kind of always felt like hills are rough? So I feel like this run is closer to my current fitness level now.
Post Run:
Felt fine. Showered. Eventually had a couple meatballs, but I'm just not really hungry.
