Wednesday, Week 6

Last night, yet again, I didn't get the amount or the quality of sleep that I would have liked. I procrastinated about starting my weight training, so I didn't get started until late. Then, I had my IsoPure and had to wait a bit before I could have dinner. Then, I didn't really feel like eating anything for dinner, so I kept changing my mind about what I was going to have. So, I didn't wind up eating until after 9:00pm. So, I skipped my snack, which would have put my calories right where I wanted. But, it was way too late - plus I didn't want it. I was in bed by 10:30pm, but I just could not get to sleep. The last time I looked at the clock, it was almost midnight. Once I did sleep, I had all these dreams - action filled and somewhat disturbing. I woke up around 6:30am and couldn't get back to sleep after that.

I definitely need to get this problem solved. Tonight, I'm going to do my running as soon as I get home. Even if I don't feel like it, I'm going to get started early. That way I can have my dinner early and hopefully get to sleep early.

Regarding food today, I'm going to load up on protein so that it can help with muscle recovery. My upper back muscles are still tight, so hopefully this will help.

Cool-down: 1 min (3.6mph, .05 mi), then extra cool-down to get heart rate down, but I'm not going to count that mileage.

I lost track of some of my treadmill numbers that I wanted to track. I did a hard workout today, and my mind blanked on remembering all the details. But, the numbers I did post are accurate.

I was surprised to find that my flexibility was retained from last night's leg workout. I was able to do my splits even before the run (before my legs were really warmed up).
