Overall I've been feeling pretty good, but my right knee is really bugging today. Tomorrow is a stretch/strength day, so I'm hoping my knee problems will be gone after I stretch it out. Next weeks workout is a repeat of this week, I'm feeling pretty good about it. I wish my sister was here to do it with me again!
First Week Down, 11 To Go
My run today concluded my first official half marathon training week. I ran 4 miles today on the treadmill in about 48 minutes. I did the iTread 1 60 minute workout. I ran the whole thing except for the last 5 minutes, since I hit my goal. I went a total of 4.5 miles with warm up and cool down included. It was really challenging; I definitely pushed myself. I'm interested to see how I do outside next week.
Its been a looong (but fun!) 10 days!
My sister, Rachael, came to visit us for the last 10 days. It was great to have her here. She really motivated me to work out! This last week was also the first official half marathon training. I had mixed results. I really worked hard, but don't feel like I got that much running in. I have to run 4 miles tomorrow. I'm not really sure how I'm going to do that, but I'll do my best. I haven't decided if I'm going to run at the beach or on the treadmill at the gym. I should probably run outside on long run days.
This past week we did the P90X Core Synergistics video twice. We were SO sore after the first round. It's a great video. We went for a 10 mile bike ride today which was a lot of fun, and we spent a lot of time at the beach. Unfortunately, since I have had company in town, my eating has been pretty bad. I'm ready to get back on track. Starting....Monday. haha. Tomorrow is the first Seahawks game of the season and will probably justify celebrating, especially after my 4-miler.
I've gotten extremely addicted to the FarmVille game on Facebook. It's ridiculous. I even woke up at 3:30 one morning to harvest because I made a rookie planting mistake. Between training and Farmville, I don't have time for much else these days :-)
Better get off to bed! Its almost like Christmas Eve I'm so excited about the Seahawks game tomorrow. And I can't wait to get that 4-miler over with!
