Note to self, eat before running! I need to lose 2,5 Santa kilos and am counting calories for it (nothing bad, I plan to lose those 2,5 kilos over 7 to 8 weeks so no drastic measures). But because I like to have something sweet in the evening when watching tv, I try to avoid eating anything outside breakfast, lunch and diner. But that made that today I apparently was too weak at 4 pm to run 30 minutes straight. My body lacked energy and that meant that at 17 minutes in my run I needed a walking break of 1.44 minutes. A failure in my eyes, but I know the reason and am once again a little wiser for it. Again, note to self: eat a little something at 3 pm when running at 4 pm.
No knee pain at the moment, though there is some hurt skin on my left foot where the arch support seems to irritate the skin. Will use a bandaid on my foot on that spot next time. That is if I remember to do with my lousy excuse of a memory.
So, that was consolidation run number 3!
Cheers, Evy

Evy, fear not we have a recycling facility for those "gone wrong runs" just pop it in and it's gone 👍
Well I can't really put my finger on it. It was mainly a very tired feeling, as if I couldn't get my feet to move and my body just begged to stop. It was only when I was back home that I felt it was an energy-lack and I made the connection to my lack of food.
Thank god for Google! I have indeed been Jeffing my run yesterday and actually now I think about it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, is there? I had promised myself to listen to my body and if my body says WALK, then walk it should be. Thanks!!
