Eugene half marathon training begins

The Eugene half marathon is on May 3, 2009. This half I have a goal to make. I would love to complete this half at 1:55 minutes. I am definitely going to shoot for it. I know I can do it as my last time was 2:01:01 and I had some difficulty which cause that time.

This is week one of my half marathon training. I printed out my schedule from runner world and one from hidgon to help me stay on track. The runner world training schedule has running three days of the week which I like a lot. I can still have time to do other stuff like Group power, group ride etc.

This week I will eat like a champion for sure.

Today, I ran 3.1 miles on the treadmill. I had to skip my group power class because my oldest daughter had an ortho appointment. I will probably go to the Saturday class to make sure I get my two doses in for the week.

One thing that I have notice this week is that I haven't been consistently logging food in sparks which really makes a difference for me. I have just been going with the flow and even eating some items that I have given up like Chocolate. Goal for today and the rest of the week is to resist the stress eating and get back on the band wagon.

I am so close and I know that I can do this just need to buckle down and just do it!

February 9, 2009

I slipped a little over the weekend. Time to get back right on track, I felt a little sluggish today but I went ahead and went to my group power class. I am hoping to get back and be a little more active tonight with maybe a 2 mile run. I am now getting ready to prepare for the Eugene Marathon so I definitely need to get more running in. Now it is just deciding on which training program that I can use that work with my schedule with work and the girls.

This is my proposed workout schedule for the week of Feb 9 – Feb 15:

Monday – AM workout group power

Tuesday – AM Easy Run

Wednesday – AM group power.

Thursday – Tempo Run

Friday – Group ride – upper body weights

Saturday – Group power 60 minutes

Sunday – 6 mile run outside

Definitely subject to change as week goes on.
