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.

So we did something fun!

So we did something super fun and scary last spring... we decided to move to our lake cabin full time !  Ahhh!  It's been very trying and very exciting and I think we're actually settled in out here.  Also, HI!  I know it's only been a short while since I posted last...errr...ok, it's been a year and a half, but priorities, right? So, yeah, downsizing...haha!  In 2 years, we've gone from 3800 square feet of living space to about... 750.  And, you know what? It's totally not all sunshine and rainbows, but it works!  Living at the lake and having all of these amazing trees around us is completely worth it.  The boys have settled into, yet, another new school and this school is the best one yet! Around the end of April last year, I came out to the cabin to clean up our holiday trailer so we could sell it.  I took a break, made a caesar , and sat on the front lawn with Duke in the small bit of sunshine that made its way through the ...

Beer me >>>

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?
