You are what you eat ....

Just like Paul Chek (well-known North American Fitness Professional), "you are what you eat!"
Last night I was reminded of this. Our friend is down from Cornwall for the week to be with us and the new baby, and to help out a bit if we need. So last night we had something quick, easy and that tastes great - tacos. Of course, I overindulged (Personal Trainers are human too you know?). Not only that, I had my 8 hills to run last night for my half-marathon training. So I waited only an hour and a half (mistake number 1) and then went for my run. Immediately on the first hill, my legs were heavy, and the body was just not 'energy-filled' as it has been on recent runs. Simply because of what was taken in prior to the run.

It serves as a reminder not only to me but all my blog readers as well, that whatever you decide to eat as fuel is how you will perform. If you eat crap, you'll perform like crap. Just another reason, fuelling up properly and staying active is so important to keeping our body working properly.
