Annnnnddddd

I'm allowed to run! HOORAY!

Now I need to decide on my goals!

I'm thinking that since I've been spinning etc running shuold be OK. I am goign to go 6m on either Sat or Sun and see how that feels. Sunday the 18th is the 9m run. I think I'll do it just to do it. A starting place. There is another 15k on March 27th. I could do some serious damange in terms of times in that much time, right?

Ok so, here's the race calendar.

Sunday: Joe Kleinerman 10-k (what a bonus, I forgot I signed up)
Sunday the 18th- 15k

Jan 22- Manhattan half (maybe)
Feb 6- Gridiron 4m
March 27- 14k

Sore and tired? You'd think I was still training!

So I work, alot. I have already been sitting at my desk a solid 10 hours. And I get no breaks. It's awesome. Gotta love Finance.

I am still here and obviously not making my yoga class in 20 minutes. At this point I probably will stay late to finish things so that tomorrow I can get in spin and my massage. I know, the hard life eh?

Overate again today. All I can do is keep chipping away at the bad habits I've developed from marathon training and am struggling to 'turn off' as follows:
- eating bread as a snack, with a meal and really whenever I want
- deciding chocolate is a food group and indulging in cookies and snickers whenever I feel like it
- 'adding' calories vs cutting (adding avocado, more beans, hummus, nuts). Obv these are good foods but I still need to be careful with my lighter workouts!!!

I go to the doc tomorrow. Can't wait to hear if I can run. I am dying!

Spin tomorrow am! YIPPPEEEE

Yoga and a spin?

Well after what feels like forever I finally made it to spin class this am and yoga last night. It always makes me giggle when I go to the gym 2x from when I leave work to when I walk in the next day. That's mildly obsessed right? Or is it normal?

I can't really decide what 'normal' is. Obviously I realize to each their own but what do the majority of semi active people do? I tend to work out 6-7x a week when I was training and think I will settle on 4-5x a week now. That's some serious working out right? Or no?

I still havent really run. BORING. I am dying to. Who knew? I am supposed to go to the doc on Thursday and we'll see if I am in the clear to run. If so I intend to run (no joke) 8-10 on Saturday. Get it out of my system!!! Well let's aim for 6 at least! I have that 15k i signed up for but now obviously it won't be a race. That is what it is. Why even do it then? Unclear.

In other news I wish NYRR would post next years schedule.

FAIL!

Ever see the website failblog.org


That was me trying to work out this wkd. Ginormous fail. Thursday- too busy with helping set up, the bf arrived too early. Friday- completed 100% of Xmas shopping, was too tired to even breathe, nevermind exercise. Did manage to walk to dinner though (so a mile total and walked about 4m durnig the day? could be worse!) Saturday- too lazy/tired. Woke up at 630 am!!! Sunday- 1.25hr fitness walk, couldnt motivate for spin and there was no yoga!!!

Today. Slept in.

REALLY?

Goals:
Tonight: 45 min elliptical, 20 min weights.
Tomorrow- 45 min spin
Wednesday- 1 hr core fusion
Thursday- off I think


Let's not overreach into the weekend just yet.
