The only bad thing about running
General 5 Comments »Is that I feel ravenous aftewards. I did the 4.5 miles. It was a good run. I ran in a new place…a bike trail along a main road. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it has several intersections with traffic, one major. So I have to be careful. I felt good during the whole run. I got, if you can believe it, an appreciative horn and a thumbs up while I was jogging in place at the intersection…or maybe it was a come-on…or maybe it was in jest…or maybe I should just stop dissecting it 
Anyway, about being ravenous. That’s what I am. In my desperate hunger, I stopped at a Zaxby’s thinking they would have something healthier that I could eat to stave off my hunger until I got home. I ordered a bottled water and fried mushrooms. That can’t be that many calories, I thought. I just looked it up on the daily plate. It was 600 calories. And the bad thing is that it wasn’t even that good! I’ve eaten some more since then and have about 500 cals left at this point. Good thing I had a small breakfast!
I found this book called Chi Running. ‘Lody, you might be interested in this. I’ve heard it mentioned on the running boards, it’s supposed to teach you how to run easier, and injury free. I thought it was worth a try. I actually tried something I read while I was flipping through the pages about running sideways up hills. It did work.
Ok, off for a shower.
