Hello friends! I hope you had a great week and a happy Saint Paddy’s Day! I spent the weekend up in Boston with some of my favorite people.
This weekend was week 2 of phase 1 of Tina’s Best Body Bootcamp and week 5 of my half marathon program. I’m so happy it worked out that both of these plans matched up and I had to do cardio in Tina’s plan on the same days as I had to run in Hal’s plan. Hooray for good timing!
I really love doing Tina’s plan because I am doing strength training moves that really challenge me like never before. Another part of the plan is to pick two personal goals to complete each day. I kept the same two goals (taking a multivitamin and eating one serving of protein a day) and succeeded each day in completing them! They have become a normal routine for me so I am going to try two new goals for phase 2 (which starts today). Those two goals are going to be to only eat meat at one meal a day and to unplug from the computer and TV for a half hour each day. I really struggle with this because I spend all day on the computer at work then I come home and use my iPad or watch TV for most of the night. I think these are two achievable goals but ones that I will have to put my mind to.
In half marathon training news, I hit a huge milestone for me. I ran 8 miles without stopping or walking once yesterday! I never in a million years thought I could run that far, and with this new distance comes a new confidence. For the first time since I started training for the race back in January, I know I can do this. Each week I doubted I’d be able to add another week to my mileage or ever finish 13.1 miles. But now I can say that I know I have it in me and I know I will finish. In fact, I’m looking forward to adding more mileage each week. I can’t wait to get to 9 miles this weekend because I know I can do it!
This photo makes me so proud!

I am training for a 1/2 marathon and doing bootcamp as well! My 1/2 is the Go! St. Louis though in 4 weeks :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your run! That is something to be proud of ;)
Good luck on your race! I'm so glad the plans matched up and allow for times for running.
DeleteGreat job on your training. I remember how excited I was last year when I completed my first 8 mile training run. That feeling was the key to my successful training and still is. I've now completed 3 half marathons and Cox will be #4.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think the feeling from that run is going to be what carries me through the rest of this training and the race. I've been bitten by the half bug and I can't wait for my next one!
