Ok all, if you are wondering what the best after run recovery nourishment is, I'll tell you: CHOCOLATE MILK!! It is amazing how refreshed I feel after a nice glass of the brown stuff.
As for my training, I have run 2 times this week with 17 miles under my belt!! That's right I managed to do 10 miles today! I even got done before my treadmill turned off. (Note to those who have a treadmill, many of them stop after 100 minutes.) So after being totally bummed out after my running last week, I am feeling pretty good this week. I will still run 2 more times this week so I may even get more than 25 miles. We'll see.
As for the rest of my training I recently purchased a punching bag and have enjoyed having something to get my aggression out on. I need to invest in some sort of protection for my hands however since Bob (the bag) has been beating me up just as much as I have been beating him up! It's kinda fun though. I found out just how uncoordinated I am kicking, however, when I almost landed on my behind!
Hope you are all having a great week and that your running will be tolerable! Happy Running!

Hey Min,
Punching bags rock as a great workout! To protect your hands, you can get training mitts from almost any sporting goods store. These are slightly padded across the tops of the knuckles to help absorb a lot of the blow. Most also have a small grip bar in the palm to help make your fist more compact. They aren't too expensive. If you can't find any in the next few weeks, let me know and I'll send ya mine, since I don't use them at all anymore. I hope I can find them!!!
