Sorry

I haven't been great about updating my workouts.  I continue to shoot for an every other day workout of some type.  I have been trying to run for most of them because I want to get my endurance up.  This week I added in some Just Dance on the Wii.  I have been trying to keep a goal of adding one mile a week and have been able to keep up with that, even though this week my every other day did not work out.  I hit 4 miles today in 48 minutes.  Last week was 3 in 36.

Week One and 1/2

I started using Spark People this week to track my caloric intake.  It has a tool that allows you to figure out how much you should be eating based on your workout schedule.  Three days in and I can feel a huge difference in my energy level.  I can't wait to see how this translates to my runs.

I Don't Feel Like It.

My head is stuffy and hurts.  I keep sneezing from my allergies.  I am going to run today, anyhow. It is funny how much can change in a week.

Registered

I registered for the Princess 1/2.  I am too cheap to back out now.

Week One: 9/29 to 10/05/11

This all started with the overwhelming urge to try Tabata sprints and try forefoot running.  I will list workouts to track my progress each week. 

09/29/11 Treadmill 0.25 mile forefoot 0.50 mile Tabata 0.20 walk 11 minutes/.9 miles overall
09/30/11 Treadmill 0.30 mile forefoot 0.10 mile walk  5 minutes/0.40 overall
10/01/11 Outside W/The Girl 0.35 forefoot 0.45 walk 11 minutes/0.80 overall
10/04/11 Treadmill 0.85 mile (2 intervals 0.75 first interval) 0.65 walk 20 minutes/1.5 miles
10/05/11 Outside 1 mile run (12.5 minutes) 1.5 mile walk 45 minutes/2.50 miles

Here I Go Again.

I didn't end up running last years Wine and Dine 1/2 but I haven't given up on my dream of completing a 1/2 marathon.  I have in fact amended that goal to include one full marathon.  Wish me luck.  Last Thursday the running bug seemed to bite again so I hit the treadmill.  It felt so great I decided I would start training for a 1/2.  I am signing up tomorrow, I figure once I put down the money, I am too cheap to back out and lose it. I am going about training my own way so I will see how that works for me.  With every run I hope to go just a bit further.  I am doing walk/run workouts shooting for adding one mile per week.
