I got a decent start to the week yesterday and did both a yoga session and a general aerobics/strength video. I started the morning off with Element: Beginners Yoga, and then for my afternoon workout I did Self's Slim and Sleek Fast DVD. The Self DVD's never fail to kick my butt.
Today is a gym day, and therefore a running day. I've given my legs as much rest as I can without giving up exercise, so they should be completely recovered from last week. This week I'm going to try to keep my mileage consistent with last week (a total of 8 miles), but improve on the quality of the run.
On Saturday last week, during the last run of the week, I felt spent. My legs felt like lead and I just couldn't hit my stride. I had to take three walk breaks just to catch my breath. My goal this week is to not feel like that during my last run of the week.
Also, has anyone out there tried FRS energy chews? I'm curious what people think about them, or about energy supplements in general.

As a rule of thumb, something that has added sugar shouldn't be consumed as an energy supplement as sugar takes extra energy to compensate for all the nasty things its doing... but you knew that.
I'm getting a vegan athlete nutrition book to help me in that department. I'll let you know my findings.
