One Week Down

I've officially trained for a week. I've ran for 6 of the last 8 days and lifted weights in 4 of those days. This is only a week but I'm pretty encouraged. I've found out that I really like morning runs/workouts. I'm officially now at my lowest weight since probably 7th or 8th grade and am really encouraged to keep going and keep breaking personal records. On Saturday, we are going to the beach and that will be tough because my grandparents have food and alcohol all over the house and its going to be tough to moderate. I have tried running on the beach before and it was a disaster but I think I will try again. I'm in much better shape that last time seeing that I've been running on and off for at least 1-2 months. Anyway, I'm hoping that when I read my blog in a week or 2 when I'm ready to quit the 5 day a week workout binge that I can become encouraged by posts like this and continue working out.

Training Details

I have added a new sidebar detailing my training for the OBX 1/2 marathon. Today was the 2nd day I've run in a row and was really tough. I trained hard yesterday with heavy weight lifting and a run. Today took awhile to loosen up my muscles.

It only says 1 day in the sidebar because I cleared my Garmin's history before I ran today.

Half Marathon #2

I think I've decided to run another half marathon this November. I'm going to start training earlier this time so my knees don't hurt for a week after the run. Right now I'm just going to be doing light runs 5 days a week and weight training 3 days a week. I think I want to do the OBX marathon November 8th because the course is pretty flat. 13.1 miles of fun here we go again! Anyone who wants to run it with me can. I'll definitely try and get my dad to do it again.
