Day 3
Day 3 of the Challenge and one week to go before my 15K race! I got up early to try to do everything the same way I hope to do it on race day, so here is my morning in the order that I did it:Breakfast: A banana and two whole-wheat bagel thins with the tiniest amounts possible of Olivio spread and low-sugar orange marmalade. This isn't like any of the breakfasts in the plan, but I always eat a bagel on race days! (BTW, in terms of Weight Watchers points, two bagel thins equal two-thirds of one Bruegger's bagel.)
Pre-Cardio: One-mile walk and 20-minutes of yoga, just to get the muscles warm and loose.
Cardio: Ten-mile run, with walk breaks, ratio 3:45 running/0:45 walking. Covered ten miles in almost exactly 2 hours. Look at all the "activity points" I got for that!
Almost a whole day's worth of extra points! |
Snack: Apple slices with 1/4-cup of fat-free ricotta cheese as a dip.
Dinner: Half of a Newman's Own Thin & Crispy Margherita Pizza, salad with a light garlic-balsamic dressing and 8 oz. of red wine. It's Saturday night and I earned it!
Dessert: A banana.
I don't have a plan for tomorrow. Breakfast at my sister-in-law's house will probably be some kind of pastry, Danish or muffin, and dinner will be whatever DHR decides to make. Might not be a clean-eating day, so portion-control will be important.
No cardio scheduled tomorrow - I think I did enough today!
Is anyone else training for or doing a race during the challenge?
