Back in the groove

I did my 3 mile run today!  Yay!  I could definitely feel that I had lost some of the endurance I'd built up though.  But it was less than 10min miles so I was happy.

Tomorrow will either be a 4 or 5 mile run depending on how I feel.

Calcium Rich Foods



Dark Leafy Greens



I saw a nutritionist today.  Not sure if it was a waste of time or not.  She was more concerned with iron and calcium so she wrote me a list of calcium rich foods and a list of leafy green vegetables.  I honestly just wanted to know for my height and weight how many calories do I need to eat to run well and maintain my current weight (I'm under orders not to lose any weight while training).  But I guess I never really came out and asked that.  She said I wasn't eating enough for my activity but chose to focus on calcium and iron.  I was once diagnosed with osteopenia but I reversed that in college and in March I was vitamin D deficient.  For the vit D issue I was put on prescription doses of vit D and had my levels checked today.  Hopefully they are better.  And while I've never been anemic, I guess she was concerned about iron and energy.  I thought I would get advice like "eat more carbs", "eat more protein", "add calories here", "stop eating this junkfood", etc.  Instead I got the usual, "eat dairy" "add iron".  I agreed to see her again in July.  I wanted to email her some more questions but her email on my insurance's website isn't working so thats annoying.  O well.  I went out and bought brocolli, celery, raisins, yogurt, and string cheese.  Those items were all on my follow up sheet.  Anyways, I guess it was helpful but when I left I was very thankful I don't pay for much under my health insurance plan, nutrition is free.



I hope to get a good run in tomorrow.  Wednesday is rest. Run on Thursday and Friday.  I'm going to Chicago for the weekend but I should be able to get in walking or my relatives have an elliptical machine.
