Went anyway!

65min, 3.52mi, 619cal

I walked today and read my Kindle.  Plus my husband let the kids go to his office and color.  It was a wonderful workout.  I forgot how nice it is to read while I walk.  I did sooo well in October when I was walking and reading.  Trying to run really messed me up.  I'll keep up with the walking a bit longer.  See how much weight I can lose in January.  Start running again in February?

Got sick

:(  My chest is tight, my head congested.  All I want to do is run, but I feel like my head is going to fall off.

Missed a bunch :(

Wednesday the 14th:
40min, 3mi, 385cal.

I woke up early and went with my husband.  I don't move that well that early, so my run that day was really hard.  I can't remember why I didn't go Thursday.  Friday I was getting ready for my husband's Christmas party, Saturday I was hungover from said party.  Yesterday I was just being lazy.  Not a good start to my marathon training!

Day one of Marathon training.

65min total work out time, 3.99mi (5k in 37.13), weights, 559cal

I'm adding in the time that I do weights.  I do a 10min warm up at 3.5mph, reset the machine, do my 5k and do a 5min cool down.  Then I go to weights.  I suppose now that I am training I should cut it down to exactly what my training schedule says I should do.  This is what I'm following: http://www.halhigdon.com/marathon/MaraNovice1.html 

Going to do Novice 1, skipping the marathon, then I'm going to start Intermediate 1.  Maybe.  Maybe I'll do Novice 2.  I guess we'll see how these first 18 weeks go.  I AM getting new shoes for Christmas.  I probably won't start wearing them til after the first of the year though.  And I'll need new shoes later in the year too.  They say new shoes every 500 miles.

I feel great today. :)  The run was a bit hard at first.  I just couldn't get my heart rate up.  I am always sluggish when I try to keep my heart rate low.  I don't start feeling great til it's 160 or so.  My average today was 137.  I just can't sustain 160 for the full 3 miles.  But only being at 140-ish I haven't even really warmed up yet!

Oops, I missed a day!

60min, 4.23mi, 641cal

I haven't gone yet this morning.  Just realized that I forgot to update last time!

Bad weekend

55min, 3.44mi, weights, 633cal

I had a wonderful run!  I needed it after such a horrible weekend!  I had a great time but I was drinking and eating a LOT!  I'm up 4lbs since Friday, but I don't think I ate *that* much. lol Lots of salty snacks.
