Nothing Said, Nothing Done

Last week we did nothing.  The week before that we did 1 1/2 days.  The deadline is coming up for registering for the marathon.  I feel like if we haven't made any progress in our due diligence, we won't be running.  Or jogging for that matter.  But it is so much more important than making it to the fininish line.  I want to get in shape and feel good about myself.  I always look back at my old pics and say, dang I looked good then, why was I not happy with myself?  Well I am happy with myself mentally now, I just need to be happier physically.  As we get older, it gets harder, and you just look back and say I let too much time slip away. 

I can say that last week we went on vacation so we have something of an excuse, but going forward there is none.  I'm done talking.

Well, I went back to 2.  My husband didn't even jog with me.  My kids and I went to the track and did the 2.5 miles by myself.  I am happy I did that, but would be even more pleased had I completed that last day.  With the holiday this weekend, I didn't make it.  We were running in the morning before but it looks like our training will shift to the evening.  Kind of backwards since it will be hotter.  But a shift is okay, some times you have to go with the change and not against it.  This week, week 8, we will run 3 days this week at 2.75 miles or 28 minutes.  I do the mileage.  When we begin the first week of 1/2 marathon, hopefully we will be including strength training into our regimen.  I can't wait until it feels natural to run/jog 3 miles, then 5 miles, then 8 miles!
