I can't believe I haven't posted since Friday. I am not exactly in a slump, but I'm not exactly not in a slump either.
I did start training to start training for the half-marathon. Get that? To start the half training, you need to be able to comfortably run 3-4 miles. So I am training up to that point using a great walk-run method I've used in the past. It's similar to the C25K but ramps up a little more slowly but is also more intense in the time you run. If anyone is interested, let me know. I can send you the PDF with the weeks mapped out. Anyhow, I am going to map my runs on a new page, so check out "13.1".
In other news, my band is being very, very naughty. I ate fine yesterday (protein shake for breakfast, cheese and grapes for lunch, latte and a chocolate for snack, eggs and bacon for dinner) and then promptly PB'ed on some iced tea before bed. WTH? I'm getting tired of this back and forth crap with my naughty band. I think it's linked to being overtired, as I haven't been sleeping well. Sigh. It just seems all interconnected.
What else? I cleaned the entire house yesterday. I love having a clean house. I just hate what it takes to get there! What else? Honestly, not much. Just kinda going through the motions the past few days. Whatever it is, I know I'll snap out soon. A good nap would probably do it, if my two-year old would just take one herself. Sigh. Guess I'll have to have a good cup of coffee and a chocolate instead!
Sometimes I get in a slump with posting on my blog too. I guess sometimes I feel I don't have anything interesting to tell you guys.
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if you could send me that PDF...I'd love to be able to run a 5k next spring.
ReplyDeleteNO lie - I was seriously writing you an email asking if you were okay...and then I decided to check the dashboard and you were there...thank God. I was worried. Yay for a clean house...now sit down and relax in it!
ReplyDeleteNeed to give that band a beat down. I'd like to have the PDF. My email is blongerbeam@msn.com.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY missed you. And...I need to clean my apartment. You have inspired me, but not tonight. HA. How's that for motivation? So sad that I seriously need to get motivated to clean my 675 sq ft apartment!! I need a cleaning lady!
ReplyDeleteHow do you PB on ice tea? I wish I didn't know, but I've had that happen too. I attribute it to being almost stuck or full and drinking too soon (even if I've waited the right time). Some foods just don't like liquids added. Good to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteThe iced tea PB - it was around 10 pm, and I hadn't eaten since about 6 pm, so it wasn't food related. Especially since nothing but mucus and iced tea came up.
ReplyDeleteI think I just too big a drink and it was like my esophagus wouldn't (couldn't?) relax enough to let it flow through. I tried for about 20 min to keep it down, but I finally gave in and let it come up. Sigh. I hate hate hate PB'ing. Especially on liquid!
i am ready for my amy-fix. next two weekends are out but let's talk about the first or second weekend in october. is that when you are going to ohio?
ReplyDeleteI missed you!!!! I would love to see the training schedule if you could email it to me that would be great! Also, I have some questions about hotels in Orlando since I am 99% sure I am going to do the 1/2 marathon. :)
ReplyDeleteI know your band is fickle these days... that sucks... but you are doing incredible in spite of, i would be knee deep in ice cream by now...LOL. *Maria*
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear about your running program (joiajones@gmail.com). I attempted C25K earlier this summer, but stopped in week two when my only good knee gave me some issues. I decided I needed to lose some more weight before I could fully get into the running regimen - but I'd be stoked to hear what you have! And? My band hates me too. Stupid band. (We have a love/hate relationship.)
