An apple a day

I did 4 miles on my own this morning with just a teensy tiny bit of walking. Not too bad!

I learned an important lesson though - no apples before running. When I woke up I was starving, so I scarfed down an apple before my run. Not sure if it was because I didn't wait long enough for the food to digest or if it was just a bad choice for a pre-run snack, but the apple did not fair well on me belly. It felt like I had a huge meal sloshing around in there as I was running! Not fun. Maybe I'll opt for a granola bar next time and see if that makes a difference.

No homeless peeps to report today. yay.

Great job! I always skip breakfast, have some water and chew a piece of gum while running, then eat when I get home. Unless I have an hour or more to let it digest before the run, NOTHING is good in the belly (at least for me!) Keep up the good work!
