New High

Running that is. I have completely plateaued in my weight, which is frustrating. But, I am doing well with my running. This morning I ran 6 miles! There are 11 weeks left until the half marathon and now the training schedule starts to ramp up a bit. I've been trucking along at 2-4 miles, 3 x/week but now it's time to push it a little. I actually felt GREAT this morning during the run and even after. Aside from needing new shoes, I'm not terribly sore. I guess that's good since I'm running 4 miles tomorrow and 6 again on Saturday. *sigh* At least it always feels good when I'm done. :)

I Love Running!

I am LOVING running! I started training for my half marathon 2 weeks ago and I have run 6 times and cross-trained 4 times in the last two weeks. It feels so good to move and even be sore because it's the pain of accomplishment. I think it's easier for me to exercise when I have a clear, concrete goal of the half marathon. I don't care so much about calories burned or weight lost from exercising as I do about being able to finish the half marathon without walking. (Oh, I forgot to weigh in, but I just stayed the same this month. I'm a little bummed but I guess it's better than gaining).
