10 am - INSANITY Cardio Power and Resistance, Approx 35 min, starting HR (bpm) 58, peak 178, avg 149, 475 cal.
Shoe - Skylon, may try my Brooks Infiniti next time for more cushioning and moderate arch support.
Recovery/Supplements - 12oz Accelerade, Flex-a-min, and daily multi-vitamin/mineral/antioxidant pack. Did additional calf stretching.
Of note - This program is still killing me, but very worth it! My left knee has been swollen the past couple of days, so I am going to make sure I ice everyday. If after another week or so, that doesn't do the trick I may have to cut out the INSANITY :( This is more a case of it's not you, it's me...The cartilage in my left knee is damaged and I am not supposed to do too many squats or lunges. I was hoping that after a year of no squats or lunges it might be doing better.
I don't know exactly what is going on with me, but I have been retaining water like crazy. The next few days I am going to watch my salt intake a little more. I usually need more not less with all the sweating I do, but I may have been too heavy handed with it lately.
I found my last sample pack of Accelerade today...I forgot how delicious that stuff is! Plus the 4:1 carb to protein ratio is an added benefit. I found an online site that has amazing prices on it and these awesome protein bars we tried at the expo for San Diego RnR Marathon. So I got a large tub of orange, a small tub of mountain berry and a box each of Power Crunch bars in peanut butter creme and peanut butter fudge. Man, I am such a sucker for sports nutrition products!
