Week 7






The happenings of Week 7:  




Monday: Rest Day (pool closed)
Tuesday: 4 mile run.  
Wednesday: Rest Day (pool closed)
Thursday: 7 mile run.  This was a fantastic run!  One of those runs that you just don't ever want to stop.  
Friday: I accidentally drank a bottle of Merlot and then went hot tubbing.  
Saturday: errr......
Sunday:  14 mile long run!



My long run this last week was 14 miles.  Exactly 0.9 miles longer than the longest race I've ever ran.  I did it on my treadmill as I am still too much of a pansy to run outside.  The majority of our streets and sidewalks are either snow covered or glare ice.  I'm unsure of how I feel about this run.  I'm ecsatic that I did it, but it almost seemed like it was too easy.  I found myself wondering what exactly I did for the first 9 miles.  I recall getting to mile 7 and thinking that the first half of the run is always the hardest.

I walked a little and ran most.  14 miles in 2:25.  I am happy with that.  I felt that I could have kept going and that is my biggest achievement!

After my 14 miles were complete, I KNEW that I would be able to complete this marathon!  I registered for the Woody's RV World Marathon as soon as I was finished.  On May 26 2013, I will run a marathon.

Oh!  I also got my first blister during my long run:
This part I did not like.

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???
