I'm wondering...

Is anyone still interested in keeping this blog up? I will post on it still, but I don't know for sure if anyone is going to be posting about training or racing. I'm starting marathon training on the 21st of February and might be doing a half marathon the week before that. Is anyone else still racing?

17 May 2008

Before I go to bed I want to blog real quick. So I thought today with the family was awesome. After I got home and cooled off for a bit I went for a run. It was warm, not too hot. I went out a little after 7. I was thinking about this blog and if you guys are up for it we could kind of write about a weekly topic. I think the first should be how running changed your life. But let me know what you think. I'm gonna try to get some miles in before Neil gets home, so we can get to winco before it turns crazy. Have a good night.

The pics are in!

Go to asi orders
then type in your bib number or last name. Check 'em out!

Today was awesome!!!

All my hard work is paying off. I went shopping today, and first stop was old navy. My jeans have been feeling a little loose so I worked up some courage and grabbed size 4 and 6 jeans before heading to the dressing room. First I tried on the 6's and they were loose and I tried a size 4 and they fit! They weren't even tight! It's taken 3 years but I'm down from a size 14. I don't care to get to a smaller size really. Just maintain. Also, bought a new bikini to celebrate! And shoes.

Working out the kinks

Spent 40 minutes on the elliptical today, trying to mobilize my right ankle. It actually worked out pretty well. It's low impact, but still gives me some workout. The ankle feels a little looser by the time I'm done, and with a brace on, didn't feel too bad during the routine, which was a weight-loss cycle. Spent over 20 minutes at target rate (>150). Stretching and doing situps tonight. I'll do the same thing tomorrow, only I'll probably do a 30-40 minute interval workout. I figure if I do that all week, I should be able to do something on the road next week. Need to pass this APFT. Gonna be doing 5-6 days a week until next drill, of whatever I can tolerate. Wish me luck.
