Well, I registered for a race today with my sorority "mom". We are going to be running the Rock N Roll Chicago Half Marathon on Aug 14th. I am psyched. Although I was hoping for a full, I think that a half will be awesome. I was so burnt out after I ran the DSM marathon that I didn't run for over a month afterward! I have heard that it is not uncommon to be back to running after a week of a half marathon. I am hoping to do a better job of maintaining my training habits this time around!!!
Progress: Yesterday was my best workout in a while. I have a Y membership now, so I have been lifting (some), swimming/treading water (some) and running (mostly). Last night I ran 3.5 mi in 25 mins. I think that's a pretty good pace, though I did walk some of it. I also biked 4.5 mi in 25 min. Was a good day! It is so much easier to stay on track when you have TV and games to distract you! I am so happy it is getting warm outside. It was a great day at work, too- I ate lunch from a campfire, fished, walked trails, etc and got PAID for it. Love my job... It is so true that seasonal jobs are the best jobs around. The only downfall is that they are seasonal!
I am going to go to the Y while I am still motivated. I hope to get a 5 mi run in by the end of the week, so I guess it will need to be today or tom (as I have a busy weekend planned at work). I will let you know how it is going! In other news, after 4 wks of concentrated diet/exercise effort, I am down about 6 lbs. Hard to say for sure, I have a crappy scale (not digital) but I definitely look and feel thinner. Off to the gym!
