Heavy Sigh........

Boy oh boy I am sick of being sick. I finally got over my cold in seven days and boom on the eighth day sick again. I am tired and weak and just want to do nothing. But is that even possible~nothing. The kids need to be fed, the laundry needs to get done cuz the boys have two games this week, not to mention they are the late games and it gets freezin at the field. End of the school activities that you promised you would attend. Oh the drive to run is so great that you can't stand yourself if you miss a day. But you are dying when you are running because your just plain tired. Or the snout is dripping down your face; not pretty. Your internal clock wakes you at 4 because it doesn't see that you need the rest. Oh the house that is another story; it's a mess.

Long weekend coming up and no plans. Sounds like the need for R&R. Resting in the hammock in the sun sounds like heaven right now. Your not suppose to get sick in the summer but then again can we call 40 degrees summer. Or wind that bites right through you~summer. I think not. Looking forward to rest.

You need to consume about 75 carbohydrates after a 45 to 1 hour run. If you do not, a hormone is secreted that tends to cause a decreased immune function. Burn 800 kcals but eat 300 of quick carbs after a run can make all the difference in the world and you still have a neg. calorie balance. You need to essentially refuel the muscles or they take it out on you.

dsg is right, WW probably doesn't account for runners. You need to start investigating WW for active folks.
