Update: Pre-training

Yes, it really is pre-training for the first couple weeks. Right now my only concern is getting to the gym. Mainly because I know that if I am too focused on the actual workout then it wont last long at all. So here is the update:

I got to the gym the entire week on time...which meant getting up by 5:20am and heading to the gym shortly after. So as of right now, things are going well. This coming week the goal is the same thing. My thought behind this is that if I get into the routine of things then I can focus on the workout and not have to worry about the routine anymore.

Throughout the week I was able to get in about 12 miles, along with a good amount of weights as well. This coming week, for a couple days anyway, I'm planning on doing cardio in the morning, and then weights in the afternoon. We'll see how this goes, but I think it should go really well. Over and out!

Lo!

Back to it again!

That's right, I'm back to training for another half marathon! Here goes nothing! (Well, okay something!) Here are my initial goals, which will start up this coming week!
  • Working out at 5:30am Mon-Thurs. & 7am Fri-Sun.
  • Keeping a log of what workouts I'm doing, esp. mileage. (Posting weekly on here too!)
  • Eating vegetarian during the week, and only eating white meat (if any) on the weekends.
  • Setting difficult, but not impossible goals. (Monthly, and race times)
  • Changing up my workouts every week, and possibly throughout the week so I don't get bored.
  • Listening to my body! I can't afford to be injured again, esp without my Chiropractors close to fix me up!

Okay well there you go! If you have any tips, or questions, please let me know! I'll do my best to get back to you quickly! Over and out!

Lo!
