Today I am Full of Questions!
Do you ever wake up and just wonder about everything? Well today thats me! I am have three main areas of questions running, eating, and blogging. All of these are new and important in my life. So here it goes!
Running
- I noticed I am grumpier when I don't run! Should I start running everyday? Does anyone know if there is any negative connotation associated with that.
- I am also curious as to how you teach yourself to run lighter. I am 5'10" and 110 pounds, why on earth do I sound like an elephant when I run? How do you stop doing that?
- Do you ever notice that everyone does something different with their hands when they run? Is there any proper way to use your arms when you run? I would absolutely be into using them as like a propeller or something to give me a little more speed with a lot less effort. Ok, i know thats unrealistic but I'm sure there is some science behind efficient arm movement while running.
- Water... I know its important but do you drink it before you run? Are those water packs really necessary? What distance of running to you require hydrating?
- I know I have asked this a couple times (in every blog i have wrote) but any tips on the runny nose? Im ok with the unattractive part of it but the whole wiping your nose throughout a run is annoying. Any tips?
Eating
- I am curious is it bad to work out in the morning on an empty stomach? A friend of mine is adamant that its ok as long as you aren't trying to bulk up. I don't really think I am ever going to attempt to bulk up so does that mean its ok for me not to eat till I finish running. If its not what do you eat before a run and how long do you wait to let food settle before you run? Is it like swimming with the hour waiting period?
- Post workout meal.. Protein right? And do you have to use protein powder or can you just eat chicken? I'm not a huge fan of the protein powder thing but if its necessary i think i could get into it. I mean I did eat a banana the other day! Are banana's high in protein? (probably a stupid question)
- Are carbs really bad after 3pm? One of my friends told me I shouldn't have carbs with dinner... I grew up on pounds of carbs and never heard this until now so clarification would be great!
Blogging
- Is there any specific protocol to blogging that I should be following? I am ok with just rambling, but I am not sure how successful or entertaining that is.
- Does anyone know any good blogs that would be good to add to my reading list?
- How does this reading list work?
- What about names? Do you add peoples names into blogs or do you use alias names?
So these are my questions today! My day is feeling a little BLA.
Today my quote is "Just keep swimming." Thank you Dory for that one!
Tomorrow I am doing a morning run with my buddy and then another 5 k run at lunch with one of my bosses so wish me luck! 10 km Wednesday Woo! Anyone else in for 10k Wednesday!?
Hopefully I don't embarrass myself too much! Answering my questions could help with the success of these runs! My fate is in your hands!
