Monday and Tuesday!

Due to the sunrise timing my schedule has changed to where I now run in the evening. Yes, I have to juggle quite a few things to get this done BUT - it's working!!

Monday- the fastest 3 miles EVER! My route, having changed, now incorporates 1 MONSTER hill in the first mile, and half a monster right up to the house on the way back. When I run further there is at least 1 more MOSTER hill. But it's ok - cuz yesterday was my fastest ever!

Tuesday, due to scheduling, no running. But I got in over 60 minutes of Free Flow Yoga, where I completed 40 ,count them FOURTY, Sun Salutations! WOW! Are they challenging. I was dripping before 15. And yes I paused in Downward Dog for a breathe of two when I needed to catch my breathe - as is acceptable in Yoga! Lots of stretching poses today to stretch out my legs and work toward those splits I want for myself.

My Half Marathon is 3 weeks away! I don't know what made me stop last time I trained for this!! It's gonna be a BREEZE!! It's gonna be just a terrific run! THe route has 2 gradual hills, and LOADS of flat running stretches! Copared to running out here on these Monsters, it's gonna be soooo EASY! I'm so excited! Yes, I'm tired. Yes, my legs and fanny burn almost constantly. And yes I have to stay ahead of my adjustments at the chiro or I end up in pain. But what's a little fatigue, burning, or a little pain in view of one's dream? Nah- a half marathon is NOT my dream. But it's a step in the right direction. My first little dream is a marathon! THen I build on that. But this year I'm conquering half of it!!

2 Year Plan- Oct 2011 I run a half marathon; Spring 2012 I run another half marathon, Summer/Fall 2012 I do a FULL marathon!; Spring 2013 Marathon again; then in SUmmer or Fall of 2013 I do a marathon and a half!!! - which STILL isn't my ultimate dream, but a step in the direction I am headed!!

So - I've spilled my dreams and put them out there for you to see! I'm doing this!! I get so excited when I think about it! What are your dreams? What do you want to accomplish with your body? How do you push your fitness envelope?

Thanks for reading! Sweat on!!
