ran 1.5 yesterday

So yesterday at the gym I went 4 miles total-1.5 running at 5.5mph and 2.5 walking at 3.6/3.7mph. It took me just under an hour and I wasn't quite as dead as when I ran a mile earlier in the week. I'm taking the day off today, then tomorrow I'm going to do the same strength circuit as I did Wednesday with my trainer, then Monday I plan on running 2 miles. I'm hoping to build up to 3 miles by the end of next week, then have a few weeks to get accustomed to running 3 miles easily and try and increase my speed before I start to increase my mileage.

On Wednesday when I was talking to my trainer about nutrition, I told her that I'm never hungry for breakfast when I wake up in the morning. She told me that means my metabolism isn't working properly, which is an interesting explanation I'd never heard before. After eating a small meal every 3 hours the past couple days, I actually woke up hungry this morning so that seems like a good thing! I'm definitely going to continue eating something small every few hours and trying to add more fruits and veggies into my diet.
