this training week went well. i recovered much more quickly than last weeks 9 miles and was actually looking forward to the monday run. i tried an energy gel this time (compliments of my brother in law). an energy gel (to my understanding) gives your body a boost of energy - duh - in a quick, somewhat tasty way. it is a thick yogurt texture type gel in a packet a bit bigger than the size of a ketchup packet, that you squeeze into your mouth and wash down. it has sugar, electrolytes, caffeine and other nutrients - but mainly it is quick and effective. i liked it. it didn't take away the burn of my legs, or take away the other 4 miles i had to run, but did offer me a 'boost' of energy that helped on the longer run. here was week 5.
sunday: rest
monday: 4m
tuesday: spin class
wednesday: yoga/stretching
thursday: 7m
friday: rest
saturday: 9m
week 7 will offer my first ever double figure mileage run. oh wait, 7m and 9m were firsts too. man...what am i doing? lol
