10/7/08 Training

This morning I was able to get up by the alarm clock and head to the gym. I ended up doing running intervals ranging from speeds of 6.0 to 6.9. I can definitely tell the difference with morning and evening runs. I definitely prefer the morning hands down.

I had a great eating day yesterday plan to do the same thing today. I am really starting to get pumped about this next half that I am doing. I really can't wait until it is over and then I will have two under my belt for the year 2008. Will there be more??? I am sure I may plan to do at least two a year depending on where the event is and if I like the actual running route or maybe just stick to 5 and 10k's who knows. Right now I am set to do the Eugene half and the Girlfriend have but that is only in the area maybe I will soon venture out to take on others that is the plan and that is the goal.

10/6/08 Training

Today i have to refocus and get it back together. Just back from Hawaii it was absoulutely gorgeous. I did manage to run about 13 miles in Hawaii and it was great but my eatting was terrible and boy did I over eat, I don't know why I didn't stay on track.

Today I had such a busy day cleaning and trying to get myself ready to go back to work. I think i am done with the cleaning and manage to get a 4 mile run in while the girls were at basketball pratice. For some reason I am wired not a bit tired. I have to get up tomorrow and try to run intervals and maybe some weights. I can't believe my marathon is two weeks away. I sure hope that this trip didn't set me back.
