Exercise: Walked the half marathon distance to see what I'm in for...
Monday: Walked 13.1 miles outside. Ran last mile to get away from bugs. Felt pretty good! 3hr 28min.
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: Ran a 5K in 35 minutes on the middle school track. Walked there and back.
Thursday: Gym for lifting weights and strength training. Tabata with burpees, squats and planks.
Friday: HIIT on the track. Jog 3/4 of a lap, all out sprint last 1/4, walk it off. Repeat for two miles.
Saturday: Long run day. Bald Mountain trail, 4.5 miles, full of ups and downs. 55min.
Sunday: Rest
Food: Sit down at table to eat. Stomach is only as big as my fist.
Poundage: Lost 4# (188 to 184)
Walking the half really showed me that I CAN DO THIS! I also discovered what I need and want in order to successfully complete the race. My phone and blue tooth headphones will have to be fully charged. I have to have the right play list, but I learned I can manage without music as well. At about mile 9, I'll need a snack
(probably a Clif Bar or the like). I'm going to have to pump right before starting the race; running full of milk is no bueno. I'll wear a hat, sunglasses, my long spandex pants, a DriFit shirt and of course, my sweet shoes. Also, don't forget the sunscreen and bug spray!
