The morning began with restorative yoga and now I'm about to embark on 25 miles of road biking. I lift weights tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is another running day and then Friday is the long run day for the week.
A word on diet: While I've imposed certain dietary restrictions on myself in the past, I have never been extremely diligent about adhering to a regimen for the entire duration of training. Since I'm trying to shave 3 minutes off my best marathon time (3:43 in 2009), which means I need to decrease my per mile pace by about 10-20 seconds, I am being much more strict about these sorts of things. For the next 81 days I will:
-not be drinking nor partaking in any abusive substance (avoiding coffee at all costs);
-consuming mostly vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains and proteins;
-taking multivitamins, and a glucosamine supplement is usually a good idea for achy joints.
By the way, thanks to my ingenious boyfriend for providing the idea to keep a running log :)
