Wow! I hadn't realized that it had been almost 2 months since my last posting!
I have to say that I somehow found my loving feeling again for running. Maybe because we abolished the tank trail and added the Beautiful Greenbelt instead. Maybe I pulled my head out of my third point of contact.
Either way I have actually come a long way since July.
Last week I attended the Pocatello Marathon, and completed my very first 10K. My official time was 1:11:30.18. My goal was to run it under 1:15, and I did!! I finished and that's the best part!
Today I ran 7 miles, much slower than last week but it was much hillier course.
I'm working on that Half Marathon that is about 5 weeks away. I'm super duper nervous about it, but I have no time goal, I just want to finish!
My weight on the other hand I haven't had under control. I managed to go about a month and a half without weighing myself. Last week was the first time and I was at 214, this week 216.
Harumph! I know I went seriously crazy this summer baking, because I really hadn't done much in the spring. I ate really crappy on the weekends, but generally good on the weekdays.
I have abolished most of the crap about 3 weeks ago, because I have another military weigh in looming in about 4 weeks. FML!!! I know I'll pass my PT test but that weight thing is just a pain in the arse.
I feel happy and healthy, and I wish that was the most important right now. But I have to please the standard, and that's making me unhappy and stressed.
Wish me luck, hopefully I will check back before the half.
