15 mile day!

Well, I did it! On an elliptical, but I did it. Had the gym been open longer I would have used the treadmill. 114:30 total. I also signed up for a team fitness competition at the gym. So that has been motivating me a little more. Twilight has been taking up so much of my time because work has been PACKED. That cuts into my gym time, which sucks. I won't have decent time until the marathon, and then I need to find a new job. With normal hours.

One day down this week.

I only got one run in last week. That just sucked. But I'm planning on getting them all in this week, one way or another. 3 miles done so far. 26 miles total to go. That's really all I have to say. I kept an under 14 minute mile pace, so that's great for me. I have tomorrow off, and I'm working opens so I'm not at work ALL. DAY. And don't feel like I waste a day. So I should be good this week.

STRESS WEEKEND BEGINS!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... This weekend will suck. Bond midnight tonight, working by myself tomorrow all day, staff meeting, wedding. When am I supposed to be running? I did do my ten miles this week. Granted, some was on an elliptical, but I did do ten miles total. I'll start working on all treadmill running when I get more time. I also need to work on my diet so I can work on losing weight again. That'll help my time since my legs will have less dead weight to carry. And I need to e-mail my trainer to reschedule from Sandy. That'll have to be sometime next week, though. Well, that's all for now. Wish me luck!

Ugggh

Don't have much to say except that the first half of November will suck. Running will be difficult. I'm going to do three miles later tonight. And then... I'm going to have to force the running in somehow. So...that's why I may not update much for the next few weeks.

Oh Sandy

In case I haven't said this before, I live in Virginia. Which is currently being hit by a hurricane. So... this is impacting my training. I only missed one day last week, so that's an improvement. I'll use my treadmill this week, since the gym closed at 2 today and I don't know when it will open up again. Well, that's all. I'm setting up a couch to sit out this hurrican on. Candles, books (some racing ones!) and magazines. And candy. I've been eating too much. It's bad :/ But it'll pass. Everyone stay safe!

day two down this week!

Sadly, two days done in a week is an accomplishment right now. But I've done my two three mile days. Tomorrow I'll do 12, and the day after I'll do 6. I'm thinking that I'll alternate machines every four miles tomorrow since there seems to be an hour limit on the treadmills. It'll also work different muscles. Anyway, that's pretty much it. Oh! I found a nail polish, Essie's "Marathin", which I'll probably wear every day until the race. It's a simple pink color, but I like the name. It's motivational. I'm wearing another polish on my hands (OPI's "Moonraker" LOVE IT!)

One day down this week.

Did a 14 minute mile today. Slow, but I felt great after. And the only reason I stopped early was because I had to work out with the boyfriend. Lots of rowing and abs. I'll feel it tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow.... 12 miles. I am not looking forward to this at all. :/
