Weightlifting and C25k

So! Sunday, I went weightlifting. It was squat/bench/deadlift day.

I completed my daily goal of 105lbs squat, shorted myself on 70lbs bench (and barely finished it). I warmed up for deadlift and did the 80lbs deadlift. A little feeling I had kept surfacing--80lbs was too easy. Time to bump it up. 100lbs. I did it. It was hard. Typically at the end of my squat/bench sets, I rack the bar thinking "blarrgghhhhhh," and at the end of most of my DL sets, I just am done. No sense of serious accomplishment.

NOT THIS TIME, BITCHES. 100lbs and I was EXHAUSTED. I was breathing hard and needed a minute to gather myself after. Woo!!

On Friday, I had thought to continue my C25k. Here's what week 5 SHOULD have looked like (all days begin and end with a 5 minute brisk warmup/cooldown walk):
Day 1: Run 5, walk 3, run 5, walk 3, run 5.
Day 2: Run 8, walk 5, run 8.
Day 3: Run 20.

But what I did instead was:
Day 1: Run 8, walk 5, run 8.
Day 2: Run 20.
Day 3: Run 20.

And for week 6, the "should do" plan is:
Day 1: Run 5, walk 3, run 8, walk 3, run 5.
Day 2: Run 10, walk 3, run 10.

For day 1, I just ran 20. For day 2, I THOUGHT I'd try to impress myself and do the Day 3 workout, which is "run 25." However, by 7 minutes into the first run, I thought I was DYING. I barely made it through the planned workout for Day 2, despite my efforts to talk myself into running just 20, as I had done 3 times successfully before then. I stressed out a lot about this. Then, I remembered what I had eaten the previous night and earlier that day--basically NOTHING. I hadn't felt particularly hungry. Also, I know if I eat before I run, I'll feel it bouncing around in my belly and that's just awful.

Running with essential zero nutrients to fuel me is a terrible plan.

Today, I intend to try the Day 3 workout, Run 25. Well fueled and pumped.
