Strange as it might seem Wayne, I already do eat loads of veg & salad - I have to, otherwise my farmers will start playing up.
I normally smother the salad in dressing though, which I’ll need to stop. Since I got back from my (non-existent) holiday, I’ve been having two meals per day - granola with berries in the morning and a portion of meat or fish with loads of salad in the evening. I’ve also restricted myself to one small bottle of beer/cider or a single glass if vino with the evening meal.
Bit of a stretch and a rest and then a 2.5 mile run in the evening.
Not feeling anywhere near as sore as I was dreading Today is going to be recovery day, a bit of a walk, some yoga when I get home and a bit of foam rolling on legs, hips and upper back.
A day’s rest (with increased protein) and managed 12,12,12 and 10 push ups
I tried running some of my lunchtime walk today. It was interesting. I only ran a mile of my two mile walk with half a mile brisk walking to warm up and cool down.
No pain or discomfort. It felt good, and included running up and down hill. Unexpectedly, it got a proper burn going in my lungs. I thought my legs would be limiting. Pace was 7m 54s per mile.
Did not feel worn out at all when I completed
But was surprised to find that my BP was 90/55 for an hour after the walk ( I am logging it to see if I can stop taking BP medication)
Now it’s 105/60 close to my new norm
