The Proof is Not in The Pace

I woke up this morning so psyched to get into my 2nd workout for my 5k training.  I fueled up with an Awake Globar.

So, remember yesterday when I said that I went about 2 miles based on the course I had previously run? Um, not so much.  My ipod was not on the fritz today, so my Nike+ worked, and told me that I went 1.46 miles.  Wah-wah-wah-wahhhhhh.  Interesting though, since I got the idea of 2 miles from my Nike+ to begin with, but I think that included my warm up and cool down, and today it did not.  Here are my stats:

• Distance: 1.46 miles
• Time: 20:07
• Pace: 13:44 mins/mile
• Calories: 237

My HRM tells me the following:

• Calories: 301 (interesting,  I didn’t think I burned that many more during my warmup, that was the only difference in time between each device)
• Avg HR: 171
• Max HR: 192

So, my pace is pretty terrible, right?  Although I was walking quite a bit (as evidenced by my training plan), I guess I can only go up from here! haha!

As soon as I got back, I had my favorite post workout drink. 

Then I got to making some oatmeal.  I am so sad that I’m out of greek yogurt.   I do love oats though, so it’s ok.

My mix today was oats, chia seeds, wheat germ, a packet of Barney Butter from the Swag Bag, a banana, and coconut.

Mmm-mmm-good.

Now I’m off to the gym to get my strength training in, and then it’s my last day of work before vacation!! Ugh, I cannot wait.  I am so mentally checked out right now, it’s not even funny.

Do you “check out” of your regular life when you’ve been waiting for a vacation for so long?
