6.26.12

Just ate like 5 kit kats. Delicious. In other breaking news I ran 5 miles this Sunday. Yay! Felt great, nice warm morning in Central Park at the Achilles Hope & Possibility 5miler. Incredibly inspiring to see people not let their disabilities stop them from being active. Not going to forget the appreciation I have for my whole healthy body. Not after that run. And doing 3 miles later today!

2nd half of June

Time flies and it's funny to think of how much time I let slip away. Especially considering how 1. impatient and 2. easily distracted I am. You'd think I'd get more done in 2 weeks. But no. Missed my race yesterday - a 5 miler. It was going to kick my ass to begin with but I only got 4 hours of sleep. Thank you, but no. I'm going to have to make my races a priority until I get to the half in September. Oh yeah, in a fit of ambition I signed up for a half marathon. I'm actually really excited because I'm planning for it this time around. I'm going to run at least a mile a day on my "rest" days to keep my schedule and habits consistent. So the plan for this week is: Monday - 3 miles + ab work Tuesday - 1 mile + arm & leg strength training Wednesday - 4 miles + ab work Thursday - 1 mile + arm & leg strength training Friday - 2 miles + ab work Saturday - 1 mile + + arm & leg strength training Sunday - 5 mile race Going to run in the mornings this week so I'm going to be calling it an early night most nights. This will be the most difficult thing of all I think, is becoming more conscious of my time once I get off of work and prioritizing what needs to be done. If I have a 90minute work-out time in the morning carved out, with a 45 minute shower/breakfast/get ready for work time to leave the house by 9am I need to wake up at 6:15/6:30am. Yikes. That means going to bed at 10:30 or 10:45pm. Which means if I have worked out from 6:30-7:30 or 8 I have 2.5 hours of free time before hitting the sack. Also having a cook out on Sunday which means some house clean-up during the week! And some grilling testing...since I'm kind of a novice. Ugh. It'll be worth it but ugh.

June jolt

Banged my knees up pretty badly last Monday and took the week off of running. Got a good strength workout in on Saturday but was resting for the most part. Back again today for 2 miles or bust!
