I've been watching these inspiring people {Mike, Jackie, Brynn} train for the Cleveland Marathon...and I want to do it to. {I REPEAT...WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?} I will sign up for the first Lake County marathon to be held in October. The 20 week training starts May 27.
So, before I type a running log again...I will have run my second half, signed up for my first full & started training. I will also have a senior who will be done with school, a classroom full of boxes awaiting transport to the new middle school & only a few days left of school. As April was a month of firsts...May will be a month of change. I will survive.
April's totals:
107.5 miles for the month
347.5 miles for the year
0 biking miles for the month
112 biking miles for the year
131.5 miles in my black, pink & blue Asics ~ the left one is muddy thanks to a drive trying to kill me and a mud puddle I had to step in. But, being black...you can't really tell that it is muddy.
My WEIGHT: According the the LOSE IT! app, I weigh 131 pounds. According to the scale this morning, I have no idea. It was 133 yesterday...and I decided NOT to count my calories any more. It was an obsession...one I need to be away from for the next few weeks. I need to eat some carbs over the next two weeks before the race. I need to learn to eat healthy stuff when I'm hungry because it's the right thing to do...not because of the number of calories. I was obsessed & it wasn't good. I will continue to fit into my new size 6 pants (seriously...they make pants bigger these days) and I will continue to eat healthy. And I'm going to train for a marathon.
Some interesting facts:
Longest run this month: 13.5 miles!!!!!!!
Favorite place to run this month: ?!? I really liked the loop of River road to Bates...until the dog almost attacked. I'm serious. If that truck hadn't driven by, I think I would have been eaten. I haven't been back there since & I don't have a new favorite place yet.
# of bags of Candy Cane Kisses left in my cabinet: I still haven't looked so I still think it's three.
# of books I read this month: Four! Wow. The last one was finished within minutes of being taken off my kindle {slight hyperbole}
