I started a run streak for the month of August. Must run at least one mile every day for the month of August. I'm doing this in addition to my regular swim, bike, run & elliptical workouts. I use that mile as a tempo run and I've been noticing a little faster paces. So win-win! Plus, I have accountability as I have a group of other friends on Facebook who are doing the streak with me. I finally broke through my plateau and lost 2.2 lbs this past week. Holding tough on the whole food plant based way of eating and have incorporated Intermittent Fasting (16:8) so that all of my morning workouts are done in a fasted state. I do feel much better. Rarely do I feel sluggish. Finished a 30 mile bike ride on Saturday. That is the farthest I have ever ridden. I had a mini meltdown last night because I wasn't happy with my mile pace which was completed in pouring rain and resulted in some mild chafing around my arm and chest but then I got over myself and remembered that not everyone is so fortunate as to be able to run. I have a sprint triathlon in two weeks. I don't feel like my swimming is up to par so I'm attending a 3 hour swim clinic next Sunday. I'm hoping I can get my breathing down better. It's only 2 pounds but I see a significant different in the way my clothes are fitting. I'm thinking I am growing some leg and butt muscles. haha.
