3.4 miles~~TGIF!

Well, the long week has finally ended.  It is Friday!  Yea!  I knew I wouldn't be able to run a long way...I was just tired and ready to put my feet up.  

I headed out and logged 3.4 miles.  Sometimes it is hard to get going, especially when I am tired.  I have to tell myself that I am going to run, and make the plan in my head that I will get out of the car, take my things in the house, and go upstairs and get dressed in running clothes.  If I make the plan then it is easier to do.

After running, I always drink my Accelerade drink.  Jeff Galloway wrote about this drink and the fact that it has protein while many of the other drinks don't.  Research has revealed that protein needs to be taken in within the first 15 minutes after exercise to help rebuild and repair the muscles.  I've tried the orange, red, and lemon lime.  So far, I think the orange is my favorite flavor.  Maybe I'll try the blue next.
