Update: Pre-training

Well, as of right now, training is out. I unfortunately have the same injury that I had last year around the same time. So this means that I will not be able to train, or run the half marathon this May like I had planned to. Training will be put on hold until I am able to rehab it for a while, and I will be setting a different goal. Actually it's a bigger goal now, but later in the year. This May, I'll either be running the 5 or 10k instead of the half, as part of my training for the race in October.

As far as this past week, things weren't as steady as they should have been. I didn't make it to the gym everyday, partially because of the injury and partially because of pain to my knee (no worries, I have a brace for that now!).

The new goal: FULL MARATHON! This October is the Kansas City Marathon. So I'm setting a huge goal, but can't wait! Over and out!

Lo!

Update: Pre-training

Okay, sorry this is a day late...

This week wasn't as on as I had hoped, but still pretty good. Most of the days I made it to the gym without a problem, and had fairly good workouts, even going twice a couple days!

As far as the eating habits are going....very on track which is awesome! I actually really like the new menu, and think I'll stick to it even after the race.

This coming week is another pre-training week, so no mileage count yet, but still the same goals; getting to the gym early in the morning, eating healthy, tracking progress.

Over and out!

Lo!

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!
