Nice easy recovery run today although it really didn't feel all that easy. I think yesterdays starving and then pigging out in the afternoon left my body a bit confused and feeling icky today. Yesterday was the weigh out for our weight loss challenge at work so after my run yesterday I didn't eat anything until after our weigh out at 1:15 in the afternoon. I did drink water but not much. I ended up losing close to 13 lbs. over the 3 month contest which puts me just under 170. After we did our weigh out we went to lunch and I drank about 60 ozs. of rasberry lemonade, ate a bag of chips and and big ole greasy sandwich. That night I went home and ate a bunch of frozen yogurt with the family. I think I was a bit dehydrated yesterday as a result of these antics so all of that adds up to feeling crudy on a 5 mile run. I am gonna get seriously hydrated today so I don't have as many problems during the big nasty tomorrow. It's supposed to be super hot tomorrow too, should be an experience to remember.
