Stuck with my one mile today. I may need to increase my protein intake. My legs felt really tired today while running, biking to work, and packing for West Des Moines. I'm hoping I can put in seven miles tomorrow because Friday is the big moving day, and I doubt I'll have the energy to do much more than the mandatory mile.
Check out these tips for tired legs. I found the cod-liver oil remedy interesting in the first one.
I'm slowly creeping upon my 1,000th day of this consecutive days with a mile business. I've considered getting a tattoo to officially consecrate me as a runner. I've also considered throwing a small bash on the night of #999, then running at the stroke of midnight (while possibly slightly inebriated) to chime in #1,000. It could be fun, and a little dangerous. I ran while tipsy once, and it was real show. There are plenty of potential names of this event, like "The New Millennium Party," too. I might have to set up a Planning Party Committee to tackle this endeavor.
Or a cooler "Party Planning Committee" that has a more fun party starting an hour before the less fun party. I think if your legs are getting tired, you may want to increase the carbs a bit and do some stretching but I know your views on stretching. Protein won't hurt.
