Tuesday, Week 5

Back into the normal routine today.

One new thing today is that I bought some new yogurt yesterday - Stonyfield Farm Organic Yogurt (Plain). It has minimal ingredients - non-fat milk and 6 live active cultures. No artificial sweetener or high fructose corn syrup or anything like that. I bought it in the big pack and bought some 1/2 cup containers to make my individual servings. So, it is actually cheaper than the Fiber One Yogurt. It has an interesting taste to it. I guess I'm just not used to plain yogurt. I might try the strawberry kind next time. That adds some calories to it and reduces the protein (I guess because there is less yogurt in the serving). I'll have to see. The pack I bought has 4 cups (so, 8 servings). I'll have to see if my taste adjusts to it or not. If not, I'll try the flavored kind. But, at least the flavored kind doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it. I think it has some kind of cane sugar. The plain wasn't bad, though, just very different.

Exercise:
Stretching: Throughout day
Treadmill: Total 2 mi, 22:30 - 1 min warm-up 3.6mph, 15 min easy run 5.2mph, intervals for last 6:30 (top speed 8mph).
Abdominal: 20 leg lifts, 50 crunches

Plan for next run: do the 15 min easy run at 5.3mph, each time increase by .1mph.

Note on stretching: I've starting stretching my front splits again. I can do it both ways (right leg forward and then left leg forward). However, it is not easy. A stretching goal is to have it to where it is a comfortable enough position after I'm warmed up. Then, perhaps work on it so that it can be done first thing in the morning (not warmed up).
