I've been feeling lazy the last few days. 
I also love food. I ate a whole pumpkin pie by myself and I'm rather proud of that.

I thought you should all know that.

Jogged 4 miles today - I wasn't going to run this weekend but I ate so much junk food and I'm having McDonalds for dinner I figured I had to do something to try to even it out. I know it doesn't work that way but it made me feel less guilty about the chicken delicious delicious McNuggets ( Read more... )

I sorta took it easy this last month in regards to working out. I've still been running at least 3 times a week just not every day.
I haven't gained any weight so that is good. I'm also taking this weekend off just to be lazy and not move.

Next week I start training for a full marathon.

26 miles here I come.

I finished the marathon.

More to my surprise than everyone else's I think.
I never really did think I could do it. I hoped I could but I wasn't making any bets. Since my training was making it seem like I could.

I took off too fast hitting my fastest 5k ever in those first 4-5 miles and hitting a new personal record for a mile at a 12.51. I kept my ( Read more... )

Just did the 14 mile jog/walk. It was so humid tonight that by mile 8 I started having to walk to catch my breathe - this was way earlier than any other week. The actual marathon has a time limit of 3:30hrs for 13.1miles and I did it 3:40 hr which is too slow with a lot of extra walk breaks because I couldnt breathe in the humidity. It sucked and I ( Read more... )

This weekend is a 14 mile long run. At my usual speed that will take 3:30hrs and thats with luck. Currenly at 2 weeks from the Marathon.

I'm worried. I actually took this last week off totally from working out and running due to my uncles death and funeral. I don't know how thats going to affect my long run this weekend but I'm already worried about ( Read more... )

Just ran 12.5 miles in 3:17hr on a hilly course with 3 walk breaks and 2 bathroom breaks. I am dead tired and I don't think I can take another step. I'm really really getting freaked out about the marathon.

I did survive and I did finish. I felt less of a "Wall" when I got home after but I still felt a slight one. I hydrated a lot during the run and finished a whole giant sport bottles full of water and a Gatorade. I took less breaks than the previous time and had a stronger finish. Started to develop a blister around mile 8 but all I could do is ( Read more... )

Today is an 11 mile day!

I just ate pancakes and I'm giving it them hour to digest a bit and for the weather to cool off a bit more before I head out. Kinda nervous first time hitting the double digits on miles for a run and this will pretty much let me know how I stand for the Marathon next month. OMG I cannot believe it's next month!
