This week was insane for me. A combination of homework insanity, AP studying and allergies led to a pretty low mileage week. I’m really nervous and I cannot believe that race day is so soon. I feel unprepared but my goal is to finish. Whether there’s walking involved or not, I will get that medal and wear it proudly. Here is my training schedule from this past week: Continue reading
This quote completely represents my long from this weekend. I just could not hit 10 mi but even though I had to walk for the last mi, I just kept telling myself that as long as I kept moving, I would finish. I think that’s gonna be my motto for the half. I may not be the fastest but I will finish. I also tried out my peanut butter gel during the long run and it tasted pretty good but did nothing for energy so I might have to take it a bit earlier on race day. I cannot believe that the half is only 2 weeks away. Time just flew by. Here was my training schedule for this past week: Continue reading
Such a bad training week. Was incredibly stressed from school(AP’s are coming up) and just couldn’t find the motivation to run. This coming week I’ll be focused on balancing my eating, working out and school while keeping sane. Here was my schedule for this past week: Continue reading
This week was so much better than last week! Didn’t skip one run. The counter on my blog has also started posting days! This is super exciting and super terrifying at the same time. I can’t wait to run it but I’m super nervous. I also PR at my 5k which was absolutely awesome. Here was my schedule for this week:
PS I’ve also been super busy lately so I’m sorry for the sparse posts. Continue reading
This week is completely pathetic. I walked once and didn’t workout the rest of the week. I really just want to get back into running this week and forget about this failure of week. Here was my schedule for this past week: Continue reading
This week had so good day and some bad days. I manged to get a sub 1 hr time on my 10k!!!(recap coming soon) Which was super duper exciting. I also loved the interval workout I did. The bad(or not so good day) was when I decided to run home with a heavy backpack and ended up walking about 6 mi home. It was not very fun and the whole time I wished I would have just done another interval workout on the treadmill. But I’m happy I did it although I will never do it again. I also halfway through training!!! Woo-hoo!! Here was my training schedule for this week: Continue reading
After to 2 weeks of hard work, lets change it up a bit! Here are some new goals and challenges. Phase 1 ends in 2 weeks so make it count! Continue reading
When I was seriously losing weight last year, I was very strict. I would count every calorie that went into my mouth and would always say no to food that wasn’t in my meal plan. As time went on, I got less and less strict to the point where I’m right back to where I started(not weight wise but diet wise). So I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to learn to say no again and I’ve created a list of things to do(because as many of you have come to realize, I love lists). Continue reading
I’ve been looking into different schools but, so was my mother. She is very set on me going to school instate and I’m set on going to school out of state. Her main point is the cost is less instate and I want to graduate school without student loans. So I’ve been forced to think about my studies. The school I really want to go to has good scholarships for those who have an 88% average or higher and combined math/critical reading SAT score of 1100. They also have one scholarship that gives full tuition to one person with a 93% average or higher and combined math/critical reading SAT score of 1300. I’m sure that if I work hard I can make all those things happen and maybe be able to go out of state. Continue reading
