Determination, Dedication, Self-Discipline & Recovery Run

This afternoon I was little hesitant on doing the Recovery Run, because my lower back was tight and stiff, from the previous run. Each day goes by I am getting stronger by the day and learning not to force the issue, meaning not run hard, I am in the base building stage of training and the goal is to be injury free. Never the less I went out, after doing a proper warm up consisting of dynamic drills, off I went, Unfortunately I did start my watch for the warm and cool down so I did and additional mile and half.  After completing the run, I finish preparing dinner, Bake Salmon, with Butter-squash Noddles & Sauted Brussels Sprouts. 

I am determined to complete my first Half Marathon and first real race in 20 years on October 1st, 2017 at the Smutty Nose Half Marathon at Hampton Beach, I am dedicated toward getting in shape, this requires self-discipline which is essential trait to have to the many hats that I were daily.

Despite the soreness and normal aches. I am starting to enjoy running again. Today wasn't concerned about the speed of pace, I was more focusing in on my running mechanics and form. I I made sure that I did some intrinsic calf raises. Weak hips and tight calfs are no bueno for a runner. As of today I no longer have a time oriented goal for the Half Marathon, my goal is just to finish and be healthy. 

The word of the day is consistency. Today diet consist of

Breakfast: Two bowls of Honey Bunches of Oats with Chocolate Milk
