The Workout: In a word? Terrible
I had been excited about this run all day Saturday as we were shooting a wedding. The weather in the morning was supposed to be nice and I was planning to do anywhere between 6-10 miles. The downfall of this run began Saturday when my calorie intake was abismal. I had a bowl of cereal in the morning with a piece of peanut butter toast... then, I didn't eat again until about 8pm. They served some awesome filet mignon, scallops, potatoes, and green beans. I ate a bunch to try and make up for the rest of the day, and I thought I had escaped the damages of the day.
In the morning I had a bowl of cereal and some gatorade to get ready. Then about an hour before I had a piece of PB toast. I started the run and felt ok, not good for about a half mile. Then my HR was up in the high 160's and I think I was running about 8:30's. I couldn't tell my pace because my GPS on Endo was jacked up, and the memory on my HRM was full so I couldn't track anything except HR at the time and see the stopwatch. It was a run that was destined for failure from the beginning.
I pushed through and at about 2 miles felt terrible. I was up in the 170's, granted I was pushing Liam in the jogging stroller, so maybe it was a little bit harder. It shouldn't have been like this though. I was light headed, dizzy, shaky, and pushing some precious cargo near traffic. I didn't feel right and I didn't really feel safe pushing him around. I decided to throw in the towel on this run and call in the backup. Meagan came and picked us up and we made it home and I proceeded to try and recover for the next day's workout.
Here's the run that I put in the info after the fact since Endo wasn't running right.
