I am starting to pick up my marathon training this month. More miles to run and I am really looking forward to it. The weather is warming up and hopefully the rain will slow down a bit.

I was so proud of myself this Saturday, I was able to weigh-in at my meeting and found that the weight that I gained was a water weight gain, scale back down to 144.8, which means I am about 7- 8 pounds away from goal. I definitely should be able to achieve this goal by the end of April.

I am planning a trip to Chicago in for the birth of my best friend twins and want to be at my best. I am really excited about the trip and already have my clothes packed.

Here is my plan and promise to myself to finally ditch these last few pounds as I train for my half marathon. I have to remember to eat only whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean protein as well excluding the sugar and alcohol. Eating only sensible foods.

The week of March 2, my training plan goes as follows:

Monday – 5 miles

Tuesday – 5 mile intervals

Wednesday – 60 min group power

Thursday – 5 miles interval run

Friday – 60 min group ride

Saturday – 60 min group power 2 mile run

Sunday – Rest day

As weather gets warmer and time free up in the evenings I will start running with group on Tuesday and Thursday.
