Christmas is over, A new year to come!

I cannot believe I haven't posed in 15 days!! What have I been doing?! Well, good question, I have been busy with work, getting presents, taking the little one to her activities and working on my own. All while being a good supportive BETTER half to my honey...ba ha ha!

Anyways, I have let the diet go for the last week and it definately did a toll on my digestive system. It makes me so sick to eat terrible. Really, it does. So back to the Core diet.

I really started back to the training schedule today. I feel refreshed with a good state of mind going into the New Year. I have had alot to be grateful for over the last few months!

After Beach to Battleship, I have been laying low, thinking of next season. I have mixed feelings as I would like to settle down and have more kiddos. I love the sport as well, so I am torn deciding. Anyway I choose, I know my honey will support me as he has done for so many months and years. How did I get so lucky?

I am signing up for a winter half marathon. Im excited about it! It is with a local run club I run with when I can get my tuckus out of bed in the wee hours on a Saturday morning. Its going to be located at the local parkway, Flat, icy, cold, oh wait.....NICE!!! :) I have missed a few of my little runs here and there but am trying to keep my long runs going every weekend!

That reminds me...I need to get in touch with my New Coach!! ahhhh!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday! Happy Training

Week in Review 2/21/11-2/27/11

Last week was a recovery week. My body was really tired from the Tempo workouts I have been doing in Race Preparation that is going down this weekend!! I am so excited about this race mainly because I am putting the time and effort into my running and it is making some great progress!

My coach sent me an awesome race plan for this coming weekend and I hope Know that I will be executing the plan!! Hopefully the weather cooperates! I have been reviewing this over and over again, reading what she has outlined. Im going for it. Even if Im puking at the end!!

I have been trying to stay positive about the weather and get outside and run as much as I can. It beats riding that darn Treadmill or should I say DREADmill??! Ugh!

I had a really great week otherwise. Nothing too drastic!

Here is the week in Numbers
Strength: 1 hour
Swim: 4800 meters - 1 hour 30 min
Bike- 2 hours 30 min- trainer rides
Run- 19 miles- 3 hours 25 min
