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
This week was amazing!! I did every workout and ran my first 24 mi week(first 20+ week too). It was also spring break so I had extra time to walk after some of the easy workouts to add some mileage for the week. I also ran 10 mi straight for the first time ever. I was suppose to do 8 mi at most but felt amazing and just couldn’t stop. And the funny things is for the first 2 mi of the run I kept thinking about stopping. But I didn’t and I completed something that I could of never dreamed of doing a year ago. I have accomplished so much and I need to let that push me to go farther. I also did that run with no fuel what’s so ever. But after the run, my dad took me to the running store and bought me so many things! Here a picture: Continue reading
This training week was not very good. I only workouted/ran once this week and I’m disappointed in myself. My diet has also not been on point in months and I really need to fix that. I thought Beach Body Bootcamp would spark a drive in me, but it hasn’t. I need to decide to be healthy and go through with it. I know my body is getting doughier and I hate it. I looked at pictures of me from October and I want to get back there. This week I will be focusing on cleaning up my diet and exercising more. I will also be trying out fuel during my long run which I am scared and excited about. I thank those who gave me tips on a previous post because that’s helping me choose which type of fuel I want to try first. Here’s my failure of this past week:
Yesterday I ran my first 10k! It was such an awesome experience and I can’t wait to race again. My mother was in charge of pictures this time and she was not very good with it so I have no pictures from the actual race on my camera. But I have 2 from her phone so I might add those later. I do have pictures from the morning though so I’ll picture-walk(I just coined the term) you through the day.
I had my alarm set for 6:45 so I could chug 2 bottles of water and then go back to bed. The time I actually woke up was around 8:40 and I went to the bathroom and got my breakfast of cereal and a bottle of water. Continue reading
It is so weird to see only single digits left. I’m slowly getting more and more excited for the race. This week I’m gonna start thinking about my costume. I know it’s a superhero race but I kinda want to dress like someone from Doctor Who because I consider them superheros. On that note, who is your favorite superhero? I would love suggestions. This week I also had like one of my worst 3 mi runs. I had terrible shin splints and I had to stop once because an old lady asked for directions. But also, my 10k was awesome!(more detailed account tomorrow) I also hit 102 mi for this year this week!!! So excited. I don’t have a mileage goal for 2013 but it’s still nice to see how far I’m come. Here was my schedule for this week: Continue reading
