First, the diet. Going plant powered has thus far provided:
- A more balanced diet and therefore a more balanced energy system (no sleepy afternoons at work)
- A cheerier outlook on life (just feel more positive and less grumpy... No scientific backing for this one)
- I've attained my target weight (73kg, thanks for asking)
- I ran a 5km PB on Saturday (likely due to my running going well and carrying less fat around)
- I've found a bunch of new vegan and vegetarian friends at work (really lovely people)
- A way more varied diet (Julie and I have been experimenting with food, with some success!)
- Regular errr... movements (they don't tell you about constipation re: low carb and thus low fibre diets)
Next up is a community service announcement. If you are running for longer distances, make sure you cut your nails. Otherwise you get this:
Yup, the long nail cuts into the toe next to it, leading to blood and pain and annoyingly difficult to clean socks.
In related news, did a long run today of 19km in absolutely lovely weather. Not too bad a run, getting back into the higher mileage as I rebound from my calf injury. Speaking of which, calf is awesome, no problems at all on flats now. Still some issues with hills, but I can work on that as the healing continues. Never liked hills that much anyway.
