45 min total including some basic stretches but nothing much. no running, and yes i realize its a running blog but working 12 hour days leaves me with little time to do much. i do already see a lot of definition in my arms and its only been about a week! i need to keep this up w my lower calories (1600-1900) depending on day and exercise... and then hopefully i'll see the scale move a bit. my knee has been bothering me but im still going to try and wake up early tomorrow and run an easy 3 before work.
we shall see. long run this wk isnt happening. try again next week i suppose. monday anyone?

Decisions
It's really tough for me to run and do weight workouts. I think I'm just one of those persons who needs a lot of rest. I think I always have been in fact.
TnT practice starts on 1/30. While I'm excited I'm kinda not. It's a lot of practicing for a half marathon. Especially when I could be up back at half level relatively quickly (in terms of distance).
I don't want to switch to a whole marathon bc I dont want to. If I do decide to run a whole, it's going to be NYC in November.
So, now what. Do I strength train through say March and then ramp up? Do I work on speed and keep my long runs around 8 miles?
My thoughts are to run 1 tempo run a week, 1 speedwork/hills and 1 long run. More than likely this will be Wed and Sat and then 1 other day depending, prob Tuesday bc I seem to be able to make it to the gym Tuesday and then do yoga. SO that's running Tues, Wed, Sat. OK. Then weights. Monday, Thurs? I think that might work.
Weights Monday, Thurs. Running Tuesday Wed, Saturday. Off Friday, Sunday.
