First time running on paleo

Happy feet and sore legs

Today is day 3 of the Whole30 and I am feeling good. I'm waiting for the energy surge to kick in. Any and all sugar/carb cravings are basically gone but I did have half a cup of coffee this afternoon. Today is also day 1 of "that time of the month" and I usually feel pretty blah and tired. I went ahead and did my morning weight lifting workout. I had to wait until the hubs came home from work to go and run. Oh how I wish I had a treadmill in my basement....one day.

Anywho, I headed to the rec center and was able to snag a treadmill. I put in my yurbuds and watched Amish Mafia. Have you ever watched this show? It's cah-razy! I can't help but watch it, plus it helps pass the time. I listen to my music and read the subtitles, talk about multitasking, ha ha.

I ended up running 3.40 miles in 30:32. My legs are S-O-R-E and I am tired. Actually tired is an understatement. I'm exhausted!! I am so thankful my children sleep through the night and I can usually sleep pretty well.

Do you watch tv while running?

  1. Sounds like an awesome run! Sometimes I'll watch TV or listen to a podcast to distract myself from running, but when I put on music and focus on the beat, pace, steps, I tend to have my best runs.

  2. This morning I watched Full House and Boy Meets World while on the treadmill. Yes, I'm still 12 years old (or just living in the 90's) ha

    1. I also read on the elliptical. It definitely helps pass the time.

  4. TV is the only way I can survive running on a treadmill. I watched reruns of the Brady Bunch out of desperation while doing 8 miles over Christmas LOL.
