Yuk, McDonalds?

Last night's run was ok. I was hoping to do 5 to 6 miles with Mrs. Firemen but half way through my left foot kept falling asleep. Circulation ceased. I felt like I was dragging a giant elephant man type stump. I had to untie my shoe and give it a minute until circulation continued. At first I thought it was my shoe, maybe it's time to retire my New Balance shoes (currently holding an estimated 245 miles) but I loosened them to the point of almost falling off and still it happened again ... and yet again. I ended my run at about 4.1 and called it a day. So for now, I've decided to retire the New Balance shoes as a precautionary measure but will stay very attentive to any further feet issues.

Also during the run, I tested out Tri Berry flavored Gu. I wasn't too hopeful being that the last time I tried Gu it tasted like Strawberry Banana flavored SNOT but I decided I would give it a second shot. This time I was underwhelmed to find that it tasted like Tri Berry flavored SNOT. That stuff makes me gag, although it does provide a noticeable amount of energy. I think I'm going to give some other options a shot and forgo Gu-ing for the time being. Besides, I suspect my current running issues have more to do with hydration than energy for the time being since I'm not running any heavy duty distance as of yet.

After the run, we stayed talking with our friends till late and I didn't end up getting to bed till 1am. What's worse this morning I was straving (being that I can eat solid foods after I run) and I was craving McDonald's of all things! EWWWWW! Thankfully, I weighed myself (and being that I was at the low end of my weight zone) I told myself NO WAY I'm messing this up! made myself a yummy egg white sandwich instead! YAY ME!

Today, my knee woke up a tid bit sore so I am weighing the pros and cons of a 3 mile run verses P90x.

Have a happy hump day everybody!
