This weekend wasn't the best for eating healthy. Friday night I was late getting out of work (go figure) and so I swung by Jimmy John's for a sub. Saturday, I was at the lab all day. My boss volunteered to bring us lunch, and he ended up bringing us Chick-Fil-A. Lately, when I've been going to CFA, I've been getting a salad, or at worst a chargrilled chicken sandwich. The boss brought us #1 combos with fries. I'm not one to turn away CFA in any form, so there's that. Then later that night, I was really craving a burrito from Pachero's. I went for it.
Today when running, I could tell my body was reeling from the junk I put in it yesterday. I ran my fastest 5k yet (37:05), but it wasn't easy. I felt sluggish and heavy. Wanted to barf. Running is 80% mental and fortunately I was able to push through it and finish the run. I wasn't trying to beat my time but I'm happy I did.
It was also pretty chilly. Wasn't the coldest I've ever run in, but there's something about the snow that makes it feel colder. It just seems to hold the cold in. Fortunately, the city of West Des Moines plows the sidewalks shortly after taking care of the roads, so I didn't have to worry about busting my ass on the ice.
