Well I'm dreaming about food again. I just re-read my posts over at bullcitycrossfitters from during my Whole30, and I was dreaming about grains/sugar around Week 3. This is the end of Week 2. Kind of weird huh?
I dreamt a couple of nights ago about chocolate cake and last night about a chocolate donut. The cake I ate and then rationalized (don't remember how I rationalized) and the donut, took one bite and decided it wasn't worth it.
I really wish I could somehow interpret my dreams because they are always telling us something.
P.S. Ran last night with Erin again. Same 15 minutes of 3 min run and 2 min walk. This after a WOD that included thrusters and in 98 degree sunshine. Run suck pattern was similar, but Erin said she thought I might be a little faster.
P.S.S. I am so tired. Like fall asleep during the day tired. What's up with that?

Run Suck
So today was my first day of running practice with Erin. That sounds so stupid. Running practice. Seems like you learn to run as a child and thats that. Why would you need to practice? Because of the run suck.
Run suck is when you are running and it sucks.
Genius right? I know. I am very smart.
My run suck was at an all time high after yesterday's WOD. But today, after just one practice with Erin, I feel like my run suck got a little better.
First we did the WOD. Then we started our run practice. We ran a total of 15 minutes. 3 minutes run, 2 minutes walk X 3 times. Totally doable and very different from yesterday. We were not in a race, just going for a run. The first round - my run suck was at an 8.5 out of 10 (10 being where I was yesterday). Definitely aware of the lack of time passing. First walk break, I asked how fast we needed to walk and Erin told me this was recovery and we could just walk normally. I was like oh I can handle this. Second round my run suck was at about 7. Third round, we were actually conversing. Dare I say it was borderline pleasurable? Run suck = 6.
So all in all - a total of 2.5 run suck point improvement in one practice. Not bad after my first practice, no? I'm not sure how it got better over time, but it did. I think it helped to have Erin run WITH me at MY pace. So I was never feeling rushed or like I was behind (which is typical). And we were talking (OK, maybe Erin was doing more talking and I was panting words out, but still). Definitely don't converse during a WOD. Oh, and it was like 80 degrees and cloudy (but with high humidity). Much better running conditions than yesterday.
So thanks Erin. Can't thank you enough.
P.S. Got some hip pain - but its new hip pain. Trying to ignore.
P.S.S. I really want to discuss a post my friend Ashley posted from the folks over at Whole9, but I don't feel like getting into to it tonight. Take a look and maybe I'll discuss my thoughts tomorrow. Here is a post for some background of why I want to discuss.
P.S.S.S Here is my dinner from tonight. Bison "Lasagna" - ground bison + onion + garlic + Newman's Own tomato sauce over baked zucchini (with olive oil and garlic). Fodder for aforementioned discussion.
