Day three:  Back to the sardines.  I’m not sure why, but I always eat better when I exercise. Maybe the general non-exercising malaise extends to a lax attitude toward my diet.  Either way, now that I am exercising again, I am paying closer attention to what I eat.  So it was sardines for lunch.  I don’t particularly enjoy them, but I need the protein if I hope to build any muscle.

My hamstrings felt fine during the treadmill slog, but my left knee inexplicably decided to act up.  No idea why.  I’ve never had that problem before.  The twinges finally went away halfway through the workout.  I added in a couple more fast/long intervals.
