Momentum's June 22nd-June 28th

I am back. Sorry was missing from here for a while. I have been doing my runs at a slow and steady pace and doing cross training. Haven't done much of strength training but need to start doing that ASAP. I have purchased a fuel belt and an awesome sports bra....I love it.

SUNDAY June 22nd
Pre-workout snack: 1 cup soymilk
Long run day today. Ran 6 miles.
http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/pa/harrisburg/272404463788
Breakfast: Two pieces of wheat toast, one cube of swiss cheese, 1 tbsp nutella, 1 cup soymilk
Today's run was good. I ran 4.5 miles without difficulty but made the biggest mistake of stopping and walking for a little bit especially because I was doing so good and had found my pace. I should not have done that because it was hard for me to pick up the pace after that. Also should have carried Gatorade in my fuel belt instead of water.

Lunch: 1 naan without butter, paneer shaslik, rice and dal. Yummy home made food!!

Snack: 1 puran poli with dal (I know it is a wierd combo but it tasted yummy...sweet puran poli and spicy dal)

Dinner: 2 chapatis, cabbage subzi, 2 katoris taak.

Momentum's Race result, April 26th 2008

Today was the D-day.

I completed the 5K race in 40 mins and 11 secs. It was a little longer than it took when I was training but I am proud of myself that I did it...I did not stop even once and ran the whole distance!! Quite a few "runners" stopped to catch their breath...some of them walked and ran but I ran the whole time and that was the goal that I had set for myself...to run the whole distance.

The lady who was at the finish line was kind enought to agree to mail me my time slip when I told her that it was my first race :) I want to proudly display it!!
Will post pictures soon.
Oh....my hubby finished the race in 29 mins and 27 seconds!!

Now that the race is done...I want to keep running and I will keep posting on the blog.
Thanks so much for the running tips and encouragement. I feel like a changed person. Before today, when I ran outside, I would feel very conscious of myself...but today I overcame all my inhibitions.

Most importantly....I HAD FUN!!!

Workout: Ran outside again- 3.5 miles in about 42 mins. OMG...I have new found respect for runners!! At times I felt that my heart was pounding so hard that other people could hear it. I cheated a little today while running...I took two breaks to catch my breath...I had to...the route I chose had too many hills. The plan is to run outside again on Thursday and time myself. Also I felt that the music I was listening to was slowing me down at times...if the song slowed down...I found myself slowing down-not sure if listening to music while running outside is a good idea....any thoughts on that??

Dinner: One and a half chapatis, cabbage subzi, 1 bowl dal, one serving of rice, yoghurt, sliced cucumber...nothing beats home made food.
