muscles

Felt pretty good today.

9:25:00 start
9:33:40 1st mile (8:40 wow!) - stage2 breathing (stage1 first 2 minutes)
9:43:22 2nd mile (9:42) - stage3 and stage2 breathing
9:53:27 3rd mile (10:05) - walk/jog combo

WeatherUnderground reports temp is 85F with 71% humidity, and yes... i could feel it today!

I am having some problems with one of the muscles below my calf muscle in the back of my right leg. I could feel a bit of soreness (pain) yesterday evening.. just walking on it, and this morning also. I could feel it a bit, but as you can see I did pretty well with the run anyway. I think it might have to with just the small amount I've been eating recently. I'm not TRYING to eat light, but just have not been very hungry. Anyway, I think it could be a lack of protein intake needed to replenish/rebuild the muscles due to all this jogging. After each run I DO take a 24 grams of protein with some whey protein powder mix.

As for the vinegar.... found a recipe for some cleansing thing that is suppose to help (maybe) with love handles, so I'll see what that does for me. 2 tbps apple cider vinegar, 2 tbps lemon juice, as much cayenne as you (I) can stand. Drank it in two gulps. "YUM"

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

Today was indeed pretty good!
I got up a bit early, and got right to my run:

9:15:00 start
9:24:22 1st mile (9:22) - stage2 breathing
9:33:25 2nd mile (9:03) - stage2/3 breathing
9:43:18 3rd mile (9:53) - walk/jog (mostly jog)

I managed to get a handle on my breathing during that second mile a bit more. After the first 1/4 mile (uphill) I was able to slow my breathing back down to stage2 for 1/2 mile.. before the final 1/4 mile uphill again. I am starting to get the feeling that it my breathing needs to be in check before I will be able to run the entire third mile.

The temperature at this time of day was 85F... I didn't check the humidity, but it didn't seem too bad, which probably helped a bit also.

As a side note (for now), I've done a LOT of reading about the health benifits of apple cider vinegar (AVG) and am going to start trying to get about 1/4 - 1/2 cup a day (taken with water, salads, juice, etc). I'd suggest reading: Home Remedies To Lose Weight. It's mostly about weight loss, which I don't think I need, exept for these love handles I STILL have not shrunk after 2 months of running. Many other health benifits are listed too, and seems like something ELSE I should experiment with. :)

Anyway, it's suppse to work FAST, so if I see such results I might break the vinegar experiment off in to it's own topic.... we'll see.
