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.

Kick Ass.

  Day 11, Letter K, and almost 5 pounds gone!  I'm kicking ass at my A-Z Commit to be Fit Challenge!!   I'm quite certain that the next 5 pounds are going to be quite a bit tougher than the first 5, but I'm willing to do the work.

No to Negativity.

There's really no other way to describe this week so far than to refer to it as crappy.  It's a crappy week.  We had a ton of snow on the weekend that has decided to stick around ( it's April damn it ....I JUST WANT TO RUN OUTSIDE), I'm in a super bitchy mood, awful things are happening all over the world, my family is coming down with some type of  illness, and I'm losing motivation for both the A-Z Challenge and my Commit to be Fit Challenge.  Everything is just plain crappy. So N is for Negativity.  I feel negative...and crappy.

Good choices.

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope your week is a good one! We're on Letter G for the A-Z Challenge, and my commit to be fit post is about making good choices. Making good choices isn't always easy for me.  Mainly, because I'm usually really drunk and not thinking about what's best for me in the long run. You're probably thinking that I'm talking about making good diet choices and, of course, I am, but they aren't the only choices that need to be made when choosing to live a fit and healthy lifestyle.   Nutrition and diet choices are, actually, probably the easiest of all them all.
