Day 16 - longest. day. ever.


So had to get up at 6:30 today for a 7:30 meeting, which wouldn't have been so bad, but I went to sleep around 3am, which wasn't a great idea for such a busy day. Grabbed a yogurt on my way out the door, had a fabulous burrito from Golden Price (best tortillas & green chile ever) and had my 5th cup of coffee in my entire life. That kept me awake through the first meeting and pretty much all of the 2nd - a very sedentary day. I was a little sore from my workout yesterday, but not too bad. Got out of work about 6pm, went to the gym and tried to run.
I say 'tried' because it didn't really work. 2 minutes walking, and I felt my gluts and calves were tight. 3 minutes running, I was ok, 2 minutes walking, 3 minutes running, and my ankle felt like there was a giant toe-cramp running up the entire back of my leg. I had to stand, couldn't even walk. I finished, 35 minutes of pushing it on a Pre-core machine, but for the last four hours my gluts have made it painful to do anything that involves bending my legs. My legs are sensitive to any extension or bending. It's not disabling, but not comfortable at all - the most sore I've been since I started this experiment, and not even after one of those hurl-inducing training sessions!
Made myself a great dinner of chicken, mushrooms, onions, & zucchini with a little corn on the cob, and I am ready to crash out. Is it just me, or does my stomach look better?
