I really put a lot in to my run yesterday. I am not running at a 10 min mile pace right now and yesterday I did three at that pace. My trainer wanted me to do the exact same thing today and my body was like "oh hell no". I was able to fartlek run for about half the time but then I just had to run. I felt tired and worn down. I was out of energy. So I was thinking on my run and tried to recognize what exactly was making me feel rundown today and I will look in to some of the possibilities. It could be a lack of iron. I just felt like that was it. Or it could be PMS time. For some odd reason I woke up three pounds heavier than yesterday. That is not normal so I know I am holding water. I shouldn't be because I have been hydrating well so my only answer there is hormonal. It wasn't my diet yesterday but I wasn't even thinking it was. I would have had to eat a horse yesterday for me to put on 3 pounds in one night. So I am thinking I am lacking some electrolytes or supplements. I will get more.
It was still a good run and a good workout though! Just couldn't muster the motivation to go fast for four minutes today.

I have included a photo of amazing veggies I made today. I added them to 15 bean soup. I had kale salad and quinua for lunch and then beans and veggies for dinner. Let's just say that it may have been a bit much for my stomach. But it was delicious! Veggies in this are butternut squash, leek, onion, garlic, basil, carrot, kale, mushroom.
Looks like good food Amber! Some days are tougher than others. All you can do is keep after it. Your body needs rest days now and then too.
