Training Log: Entry 2398

AM WORKOUT (0320 wakeup: beat the alarm)

1hr 45mins of continous running outdoors

Notes: Wanted to get in a long run, since I haven't done a real one since the start of my half marathon training and now it's about a month away.  This was a big confidence booster in that regard.  Pace was gentle: breathed through the nose the entire time.  First 7 minutes are always the roughest, especially recovering from the Litvinov thing I did the other day, but I hit my stride well enough and eventually found a good pace.  Little tender around some connective tissues, but nothing broken.  Definitely putting those Finibards to the test: ran this whole thing off one of them.  T nation knew a sucker when they saw one with me, because sending me some free ones got me hooked and now I'm pretty sure this is what I'm going to eat on race day, and maybe for strongman comps too.

On that note, I made a really awesome greek yogurt parfait for after my run.  Fat free greek yogurt mixed with 1 cup of Special K protein+, a scoop of chocolate whey and a serving of PBfit.  I honestly might phase milk out of my diet at this point and stick with greek yogurt, as this was really enjoyable and an even better macro breakdown.
