Week 2 of 18, day 6 of the Higdan Novice 1 program. This is going to be a long journey, but I know it's worthwhile. Today was the same 3 miles and tonight I did some yoga and I feel great.

Rest Day

Hey hey hey!!! Today was my rest day aka Yoga day.  For me, Yoga day is almost everyday; I do yoga after my runs and on some rest days.   I'm trying to follow the Hal Higdan Novice 1 schedule with minimal modications. I replaced Tuesdays run with Monday, that way no 3 day back to back runs.

This is most of what I ate today. What's NOT pictured is the junk food I was too ashamed to share: 2 caramels, a chocolate chip cookie and a quarter pounder (holds head in shame).

Hung out with the Lululemon crew for some outdoor yoga downtown.

Did my 3 miles, still on schedule, but also did a bit of walking. I didn't get much sleep last night.

Week 1 of 18 completed!!!

I really want this excess weight to disappear. I'll do more pictures every 30 days when my training is finished.

I forgot to post yesterday, another 3 miles according to the schedule. My long run is tomorrow, it's six miles and that will complete week 1 of 18. 😊

One of the most important meals of the day.

[bcaroljackson]

Dinner while on the road from Whole Foods. I've got to start cooking. This is my last post for the night, I'm still trying to get the hang Tumblr. I'll try to better organize tomorrow night.

Someone gained 5lbs over the holidays. Yikes!!

After nearly two weeks off from work this was desperately needed. Don't worry, it's black tea made with soy milk.

Day 2

Today I'll be doing a double; I missed my strength training workout yesterday.

Today

I was suppose to start P90X2 today. That wasn't happening, especially since the the Twilight Zone marathon was on :p
