Day 129: Chasing Windmills

Like yesterday I pushed it hard to break that 12 minute mile.  My intention was to do 2 miles in less than 25 minutes that is a sub 13 minute mile on both sides.  My legs felt strong and I had a good start. 

I pushed it and finished the first mile at a 12:36 pace.  Then I ran out of gas, literally. Huffing and puffing I attempted to increase my pace several times on the second mile.  It just wasn’t happening.  In the end I finished both miles with a 13:30 pace. 

Daily Recap:

Matt: 30 minutes 2.25 miles

Kelly: TBD

Off on a rant…Multivitamins.

I have been reading about vitamins lately and especially the need for a multivitamin.  Here is a quick breakdown of the essential vitamins you need on a daily basis. 

Vitamin A. It is important for vision, healthy skin, bone and toot growth and the immune system

Vitamins B (the full spectrum).  Nerve functions, vision, skin, nervous system and digestive system

Vitamin C.  Immune system and helps protect cells.

Vitamin D. If vital to bone health and assists the body in the use of calcium.

Vitamin E.  Like C it is a powerful antioxidant.

Vitamin K.  (You don’t hear too much about this one) vital to bones, teeth, and cartilage health.

Zinc. Again used by the immune system.

I found this interesting, the different vitamins and their use at a cellular level in the body.  I figured I would dive deeper in to each one and find out why they are so important.
