Whatcha eating today VSGers...Thursday!!

It's Thursday which is my challenging day!  I'm also sore from yesterday's personal trainer evaluation.  It was only an evaluation!!  ACK!

1: frankenshake
2: taco meat, salsa, guac
3: pre-pound yogurt
4: pre-choir protein shake

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: 46:01:01 5k training for a total of 2.38 miles, 30 minutes yoga (intermediate stretches for runners), 60 minutes pound class

If it's any consolation, I was MUCH sorer after my consultation than I was after starting training.  During the consultation they push you really hard to figure out where your limits are (both too easy & too fatiguing.)  I think I had trouble walking and moving my arms for 5-6 days after my consult.  After training for the past 2 months, I haven't been that sore since!

THANK YOU.  Oh my gosh.  I've been really worrying about this!  I've got my first real session next Wednesday and a 5k on Saturday and I've been feeling pretty concerned that I'll still be super sore at my race.  Which is a mistake I made for my last race!  (I tried out a new fitness class two days before the last race - stupid idea!)  

Thank you so much for this reassurance.  You have no idea how much I appreciate it!

It's the least I can do... You've given me acres of advice and reassurance over the past 3 months.  I'm happy to give you something of value!

Thanks!  That's super sweet of you to say!
