Checking in from the big apple

Posting from a Starbucks like a true city blogger ha! Training week has been completed, though I made a tiny modification. Yesterday I completed 12 miles at Central Park, yay me! Central Park long loop I had only schedule 10. But what happened was that Thursday I walked four miles to and from the spot I was running 2 miles. A little silly you may say, but that’s what happens when you don’t think…

Week 11 here we go!!

This week I only work two days and then I will be on vacation!! So obviously it is a little scary to plan for exercising while away from home. This past week I completed my gym schedule to the T, including my 2 mile treadmill run. Where I failed was at my long run. I seem to be stuck at 8 miles. Plus I was slower than my previous 8 miler. I’m hoping that I was just tired from my long gym week, it…

Mid week check in...

Mid week check in…

Because I really don’t want to exercise today! Week has gone good so far. I was sore for two days for doing two classes Monday, but it was totally worth it. Today is the though day because I have to go to the “dreadmill” At least there is a “cardio cinema” at my gym, so time goes by a little faster while watching a movie. I made the mistake to check the schedule and today they are showing The…

And just like that I'm at Week 10!

And just like that I’m at Week 10!

I’m panicking right now! This is half way there! And I’m so behind!! I know I’ve been MIA, but not to worry, I’ve been exercising. Zumba twice a week, BODYCOMBAT twice a week, but not much running. Unfortunately my long runs have not gone over 8 miles. Will really try to push to 10 this coming Saturday and hopefully I will run a couple miles over the week. I’m stressed- but it’s too late to cry…

Army Ten Miler done!

You can tell it was a bad one when I haven’t run here to write all about it, ha! I shouldn’t complain though. Saturday was raining all day long. So Sunday was relatively a very nice day. Sunny and chill but not cold. The only problem was the 40mph wind! I’ve read from 19 to 50, so let’s give it a 40. But no kidding it was strong enough to mess up with you. Thanks to metro I guess, I didn’t have…

Not ready for a countdown!

I completed my Disney room reservation a couple days ago and now I have a countdown to my marathon, so not ready for this! so no I’m at about 90 days! this is getting real. I’m not feeling all that stressed out. I googled “what can you accomplish in 90 days?” because really, how else am I going to know what to do if I don’t google it. Apparently 90 days is a very important time period. Whatever…

Week 7 done!

Last week was a very good one! I exercised 6 days of the week and it was awesome! Monday and Wednesday BODYCOMBAT, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Zumba, Wednesday and Thursday a short run. Saturday a very wet long run. I’m exhausted, but in a good way. Unfortunately this week is going to be much shorter when it comes to exercise. Because of work and other commitments I can only make it to the gym…

60% chance of rain!

It’s going to be a wet long run tomorrow! I have to do it! Can’t make any excuses… I’ve done my fair share of rainy runs and they aren’t awful. I just have to beat my laziness and not use rain as an excuse to stay in bed tomorrow morning. I also must prepare tonight so that I don’t have “issues” tomorrow morning. Must leave my clothes ready tonight, with a few layers just in case it gets chilly.…

Another week, another week

Monday is here once again! How was last week? I guess I did ok Monday BODYCOMBAT, this time I bought some weight gloves and I saw a big difference. No wimpy punches in the air, I had to be strong to keep up with those gloves. I also felt the difference the day after, good workout! Tuesday and Friday ZUMBA. Wednesday work all day (but at least I completed my 10K steps). My gym week got cut one day…

Long run done!

Wow it almost didn’t happen… I slept thru the alarm! When I finally woke up it was 7am. I’m supposed to meet my running group at 6:30 am so there was no point on trying to meet them so late. I went back to sleep a couple hours more ha! I did lay in bed watching weird Saturday morning television for a while, but I’m glad to report that I made it out the door! Yay me! Still slow but I did it! I…

It's the first day of Fall!

It’s the first day of Fall!

Can’t wait for perfect running weather! Weather.com is telling me that Saturday morning, for my long run, we will be at nice and cool 65 degrees. I’m so excited! There’s nothing better then fresh breeze in your face and you feel like you can keep running and running. Let’s hope I’m not jinxing me! Need to complete at least 7 miles on Saturday. My fall race calendar is pretty empty, but the reason…

Must get Army Strong in 3 weeks!

I’ve been so worried about the WDW Marathon that I completely forgot the Army Ten Miler was coming much much sooner. Yeap, I must be ready for that race come October 9th! Oh boy! Talk about lacking time to get motivated. I finally completed my so called “long run”. I mean, it was only six miles and we are talking about six very slow miles. But I did it! I’m exercising pretty frequently. I just…

Maybe I overdid it, maybe it’s just an excuse…

Week Three has been another disappointing one. I did so awesome until Friday! Friday night I was so tired that I decided to leave my long run for Sunday. Obviously that didn’t happen. Ahh! Not sure how I’m going to get serious and commited! Only 17 weeks to my marathon and it is not looking pretty. I have to just quit the whinning and get moving! This week I’m not going to schedule anything but…
