Notes
Wachusett Mountain- 5-6 loops if you feel solid! No structure or HR, just do it. Diligent hydration and nutrition focus to prevent a break down like last week.
***
brutally hot morning but stayed hydrated and plenty of food so finished strong...loops were 50/49/48/47/48. The downhills killed me today but I was able to be consistent on the uphills. Would have done one more loop but I would have ended up walking most of it so bagged it. I am happy with the results.
Important to note the following...During yesterday's run I lost ~8 pounds despite taking in 42 oz of fluid during the run and a PBJ sandwich along with pretzels. And I only managed to put 5 pounds back on during the day despite eating and drinking like a champ. (So Net -3 after yesterday). Today, I took in 26 oz of fluid just prior to running and 72 oz of fluid during my run. I also ate two gels, a PBJ sandwich, pretzels, gummi bears and fig newtons all during the run. I peed 3 times (normal amount) during the first 90 minutes but did not pee again the rest of the run. Post run I had an additional ~60 oz of fluid as well as ANOTHER sandwich. It is now ~ 3 hours post run and I just weighed myself and I weigh the same as yesterday post run. Add up all that I took in AND count the fact that I still haven't taken a shit since yesterday morning, and by my math I lost ~11 pounds today. Fucking humidity man.
