After being sick for a week and a half I finally ran today. I tried to run once last week and it was so hard to breathe and I just felt awful so I rested all week. I am still not 100% better but I am better enough to run(with a cough drop in my mouth and lots of water).
ANyways, I found out today the 1/2 marathon is the first weekend in May... so as of today I have 11 weeks left. I am doing a 9 week training program so I won't officially start "training" until Feb 23rd. But until then I am trying to get back into my running.
Today I did:
2 mile-run
1 mile of 5x1:00 at a faster pace.
I walked a minute in between each of them to let my heartrate go back down.
1 mile of walk/ run.
I was feeling okay. I did notice my body was a little tired from being sick and just not being able to run for a week and a half. I am getting a little faster on my miles. I started at about 15 minutes/mile but now I am about 13:30-14:00 minutes/mile. So that is good.
Also, I have lost 15 pounds since I started running. And I am still losing!!! I am excited. When I see that I am losing it is easier to control what I eat! My pants are getting so big on me! But I don't want to buy anything new just yet.

Oh, and you've inspired Steve and I to train for a 5K. And another couple that we know. So here's to nothing. Steve has been great at it but I haven't started running yet. Not until wednesday. I'll let you know how it goes.
