Week 3

There is no turning back now. I signed up for the 1/2 marathon on July 4th. yikes. I have total mixed emotions. Some days I am so excited and love it. other days I just think it is too much. I have a goal to run a full 4 miles this week. I am hoping my injured leg will behave and I can actually run. I would also love a running buddy. Anyone feel the need to run with me? :)

Power 90 is a great tool. It is seriously keeping me going and on track. Love it. Today I took Brian to spin class with me. It was a hard class but feels so good at the same time. I am only running 4X a week so I need to fill my other days with some type of cross training. any suggestions there would be great.

I am looking forward to my body feeling healthy and strong. I know that eating healthy and exercising will get me there. slow and steady wins the race.

90 day goal

I have set a goal. I am running a 1/2 marathon in 90 days. there are days when this feels totally overwhelming, especially when I can only run a mile or 2. As I was trying to run yesterday I had the thought that maybe I am struggling to run because of what I am putting into my body. The fuel I am giving my body to use it not the right kind. It is time to change how and what I eat. This has always been a total weakness for me. and as I am eating way too many treats I am beating myself feeling weak. but NO MORE. Today is a new day. all I really have to do is make small decisions everyday. No more treats except on special occasions. and I get to eat lots of yummy food. Lots of fruits and vegetables. I am excited to see the improvement not only in my running but also my moods and the way I feel over all everyday. I know that my eating habits will make a difference in these areas.

So today I begin my journey of eating healthy and making healthy choices. I will do this because I am Powerful. it is exciting. 1/2 marathon here I come!!
