I Chee Wha Wha!

Slept a little later with the time change, and woke up to a clear beautiful day. Strapped on the trusty Garmin, laced up and headed out. We have a lot of nice trails in Irvine and today I had plenty of company out there. Lot's of cyclist. Some intent and focused on whatever their training mission was, but most openly friendly, just enjoying the day. Just how I like it.

Decided I'd run a little longer than usual and when I hit the home-stretch with Casa De Deb's in view, I'd clocked 11.5 miles. Not only did the Garmin tell me, but my glutes did to. I Chee Wha Wha.......... walked in the door & blended up my favorite shake:
1 cup frozen mixed berries (get mine @ Costco)
water to cover
1 scoop protein
2 t flax seed oil
2 mini scoops powdered creatine/HMB
This always helps with my recoveries. I have 2 bags of frozen peas strapped to my legs...Ahhhhhhh..

I run in Nike Free's. I have 6 pairs and LOVE them. I understand they're a love or hate kindof shoe, and I may be in the minority here. I wear them for gym workouts to. It's strange...I have flat feet, and even though I'm starting to run longer distances, they are just my favorites. I'm sure I'll need more stability/cushion with increased running, but everytime I try on another pair of running shoes, they feel soooo constrictive..like bricks. Oh well, bigger problems I could have, huh?

Updating my IPod, pack my gym bag and re-group for another week.

Have a great one!
