Yes, yes - Truckin .... along on the training. I'm in week 8 this week.
This included my 5-minute warm-up and walking intervals (Galloway style).
I had to run my second four-miler Friday morning outside. It was hot but my body felt better than it did on the treadmill. I def. think the heat helps to loosen me up faster.
It certainly did Saturday morning when Ash and I ran 10 on SSI.
At the end of the run
Along the way, we decided to try something new (well new for me) Chia seeds. They're a super food that's supposed to give you energy (without the Gu-like side effects).
Here are some facts about them (courtesy of Natural News):
* Chia seeds are an ancient super food that has been used by the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas. In fact, Chia means "strength" in the language of the Mayans, and was considered running food because messengers could run all day with the help of these tiny seeds. Chia seeds were considered medicine and were actually prized more than gold due to their incredible health enhancing properties.
*Chia seeds are a complete source of protein. They actually have 2 times the protein of any other seed or grain.
*They are one of the best sources of fiber. They are fabulous colon cleansers and actually clear out the digestive tract so that you absorb more nutrients and eliminate waste more efficiently. It also prevents indigestion and heartburn without risk of harmful side effects.
*This is a super food for diabetics because they help stabilize blood sugar levels.
*Chia seeds are great for weight loss because they easily bulk up the food without changing the taste. Because the carbohydrates re released incredibly slow, it make people feel full. They also bulk up and cleanse the body of old "junk" so the body can detox and lose weight.
*As well as improving endurance and physical fitness, they also help keep the body hydrated and the electrolytes balanced, so they are the perfect foods for athletes.
*These tiny seeds have are packed with calcium, and they also contain boron which is a trace mineral that helps calcium get into your bones.
*This super seed is a seriously potent antioxidant; in fact, it has 3 times more antioxidant activity than blueberries. Not only does this help you to fight disease and defy age naturally, it also keeps the chia seeds from going off like other seeds such as flax.
*Chias have 3 more iron than spinach, which is needed to carry oxygen from the lungs into the muscles and organs.
*These little super food seeds have incredibly high levels of omega 3 and omega 6, both of which are essential for brain function, reversing depression, and overall health. Because of its high amount of good fat, it manages to survive and thrive without any chemical interference. The bugs never touch it and so it needs absolutely no pesticides.
