December Challenge Day 23

Well it is offical to days left before Christmas and in the mist of all the bad weather and shopping madness I somehow came up with a crazy goal of running 20-25 miles a week. I don't really know how possible it is without interupting other activities but I have to see if this will work for me and my lifestyle. So here I go.

Today was tough just getting out of the bed but I had made a goal and I have to run if I want to complete the goal. I did a variety interval workout which kept me focus speed ranging from 6.1 to 7.5 and incline varing at 5. The workout was tough and I am so glad that I stuck to plan and pushed through it 5.64 miles completed. Which means tomorrow workout will be my group power class no running until Thursday.

Challenge Day 22 December 22, 2008

Well everyday is a challenge and it sure was challenging when we are in the mix of the worst snow storm ever. That surely can but a damper on workout routines. I was able to still do different things at the house but my run definitely fell short. I only ran on Thursday & Saturday which gave me a smacking total of 10 miles last week. My goal from today forward is to run at least 20 miles but will love to see 25 easily. So far this year I have ran over 600 miles don't. I am to excited just really started running this year and that is such an accomplishment for me. woohoo!

December Challenge Day 12

Today was a interesting day. I did pretty well as far as eating and I ran six miles on the treadmill. I just came to realization that I am not a cold rain weather runner. I avoid it all cost no matter what it takes. I was suppose to run a jingle bell 5k tomorrow but the weather mention snow so I am not going to even attempt to run it. I am going to get a good workout in though just so I can enjoy myself at the Christmas party.

One thing to remember is that I was pretty consisted this week and I don't want a weekend to ruin what I worked so hard as I only have for. Must stay focus on the weekend no matter what!
