Day Two - 5/3 Riverbank Run Training

Day two is in the books - 20 minute run totaling 2.04 miles at a 9:48 pace.  Cold and wet outside, no snow, but very damp and misty.  The cold, wet air just traps itself in my lungs making me wheeze a bit during the run and wheeze and cough after.

Started the day out with a nice bowl of oatmeal including frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries, and walnuts.  A great healthy start!  Also made sure to drink plenty of water today.  I did find myself eating things I shouldn't but was able to tell myself to stop.  I actually tried black coffee and thought maybe I could make the switch, but after 2-3 drinks I had to add some creamer.  I love the smell of coffee, but just can't handle the taste of plain old black as of yet.

Tomorrow is a "rest" day on the training schedule - but I think I will do some type of walking or maybe some type of cross-fit.  I have added the PIYO workout DVD program from Chalene Johnson to my Christmas list.  A combination of pilates and yoga - looking forward to trying it out!

Here's a pic after Day 2 run - changed my angle to hide that double chin.  :)
