I love running in the fall because it's not too hot or too cold. I kept waking up this morning every half hour after 5am, it was hard getting up to run after my weekend of relaxation. I eventually got up around 7 am and had a bowl of cheerios and a glass of water. I did a few stretches to start because I am determined to NOT get cramping in my legs in the middle of a run. I think it is what you call, "Charlie Horses". Well, the pain from what I remember is excruciating I have experienced about two of these.
I ran a lot quicker this time, I clocked in 57min/6mi-- not too bad.
There are a couple of things I remember when I am run and that is to:
- breathe through my nose and not my mouth
- maintain excellent posture
- have my arms move parallel to each other and limit any crossing across my mid-section
Lastly, give a fair amount of time between a meal and the actual run! Today, I didn't follow that rule and it resulted in some serious cramps. I ran through the pain. Tomorrow will be better!
I am also going to start a sugar exfoliation regime with my face. I am prepping it for a upcoming shoot and I need clear skin. I'll start that process tomorrow.
Until next time,
