Week 2

Week 2 went well.  A few ups and downs.  


How it went down:


Monday: Swimming day....sort of.  I only did 25 lengths and then fell into the hot tub.

Tuesday:  Awesome 3 mile!!  Ran it in my fastest time yet.  Legs were a bit sore, but I felt great!

Wednesday: Great swim!  Went with a different friend and raced 30 lengths!

Thursday: The plan was 5 miles, was goal was 6, reality was 4.  My knee wasn't feeling the greatest and I thought I best take it easy opposed to pushing myself for one more mile and not being able to do the long run.

Friday: Rest Day!

Saturday: 9 miles!  Went well.  Definitely need to look into energy gels and supplements.  The first six miles were amazing.  I was on fire!  Daydreaming of the big day and the entire world cheering me on.  And then I totally crashed.  Mile 7 was BRUTAL.  I jumped off the treadmill and rifled through my bag until I found a crappy, old energy gel.  It was disgusting and I kind of wanted to spit it out all over the gym floor, BUT I kept it down and miles 8 and 9 were achievable!!




Looking forward to Week 3! (Mainly because the long run is only 6 miles.....)

Feel the burn.

B is no longer for beer and I'm sad   I really should have thought this theme through a little bit more.  Words that start with B and are relative to my "commit to fit" challenge aren't the easiest to come by.  I've decided to go with " burn "  because I am already feeling it!! On Saturday I decided to terrorize exercise my core and upper body after my run.  DOMS set in late on Sunday and after an intense work out tonight, I dread laughing.    My commit to be fit challenge will include 3-4 strength training sessions per week in addition to my half marathon training program.  It's time to feel the burn !  Can you feel it?

A is for...

April 1st marks the beginning of the A-Z Challenge .  I didn't exactly write out a plan for this challenge because I knew what my posts would be about: alcohol .  It was kind of a no brainer.   What I didn't expect was for my first post to be about abstaining from alcohol .   WHAT???
