Holiday Hangover

The week of Xmas was disastrous (as far as running and nutrition is concerned). I ate everything I shouldn't: Lindt balls, cookies, candy...and many other miscellaneous items full of sugar and fat! Oh geez. Not to mention, I only went on two short runs early in the week. It was nice to spend time with my family but my training really got derailed.

I need to forgive myself and move forward. I went for a 30 min run yesterday. It was very painful and my legs hurt like hell. I'm going to rest, stretch and ice today and take a healthy dose of advil and try again tomorrow.

On a more positive note, I got some fun running stuff this year from Santa. I recieved a few books on running, the nike+ sport band watch with sensor, and some compression socks! whoo hoo. I've used the nike+ watch and sensor and I REALLY like it. I don't have special nike shoes, so i taped the sensor inside my shoe under the insert and it seems to work well there.
