I have to say, I'm pretty damn impressed with myself and my last 7 days. Not to mention, I took Monday (yesterday) off. Last week I tallied up 27 miles. Highest mileage week so far! ✌️😎 . . . I'm slowly starting to see benefits. I'm down 11lbs from January; my recovery time is way better; I'm running more miles interest of walking them; my resting heart rate has lowered (it was 67 in January); through continued yoga, I'm becoming more flexible; my waist is slowly toning up. . . . Some days are easier than others. And I'm NOT always motivated. There's a misconception that people who always work out are always motivated and ready to go. False. We are not. Discipline kicks in when motivation is lost. Did I want to go to class today? Nope. Sure didn't. Did I regret going once I was there? Nope. I always feel better after I work out. But it doesn't mean I'm always motivated. . . . There are days where lacing my shoes up to run 3 miles is harder than running 10 miles. It happens. And it's okay. I'm learning to not be so hard on myself. It's making me less stressed. I'm trying to not focus on hitting arbitrary numbers. "Is that half mile I missed in Feb really going to matter by the end of the year?" No. No it isn't. I'm a really goal motivated person. If I tell myself I'm going to get 22 miles a week, but I only end up getting "21.5," it's hard to not just go walk a half mile. But what I'm trying to now focus on is adding that half mile on to my next run. Longer runs for me are more beneficial to my training than walking a half mile just to hit a number. . . . Now don't read that as "walking is bad or pointless." Because it isn't. At all. Everyone is on a different journey. You'll NEVER see me knocking someone for being happy they did a half mile walk. Ever. But that's their journey and goal. This is mine. (And I most certainly still count my cool down miles.) . . . I'm just trying to push myself to run less days only to force myself to run longer distances. I'm switching out two days already for swimming, so I'm getting there! . .March miles: 19.07 .

After another 4.4 miles today (and I have to do another 4.4 on both Tues and Thurs - going for 4.4 miles every day for 4 days! Only bc that's what it works out to too hit goal. Lol), this had me ROLLIN! I laughed so hard I about peed my pants. . . . . Feb miles: 77.8 . YTD Miles: 178.8 .

Wind resistance was a little bit of a killer, but I refused to be on the dreadmill when it was 43 & sunny. 😎🔆 . . . . My run streak was at 54 days, and yesterday I decided to break it. I felt guilty for a while, mostly because it wasn't that I was sore or tired. I knew I could have ran, but choose not to. I attended my niece's 2nd birthday party and spent the rest of the night with Josh. Plus, I'm on track to hit my goal for the month, so I am no longer feeling guilty. 😍 . . . . Feb miles: 72.3 .

Today is a huge win! Not only are my legs really sore from doing sprinting intervals, but my time is slowly decreasing! Whenever I am doing intervals with a mandatory break, I'm hovering around 12:30-12:40 average pace. And today was 11:30! 👏 . . . I got a mile jog in before class, too, so my total today: 4 miles. ❤️ . Feb Miles: 20.7 . 2018 Miles: 121.7 . . .

I DID IT!!! I HIT 100 MILES TODAY DURING MY WALK!! This morning I went to yoga at 7am. I needed the stretch. Badly. I was a little sore from my running class night. Those lunges will get you! I've learned to take make sure to get in my recovery days. My recovery walks are on the faster end for walking, but it's crucial to my recovery. I have learned this the hard way. Rest days are important!! But a rest day doesn't have to mean "sit on the couch and do nothing." A rest day from running can be a walk and an upper body workout! So that's what I've been doing! I'm currently at 100.4 miles for Jan. .. which means after the "Butts n Guts" class (which is 530-6), and before yoga (which is 6-7), I'm walking 0.6 miles. I need that even number!! #2018milesin2018 for Team #SokhonAndMeganRun #RunTheEdge2018 #MakeFitHappen #RunTheYear2018 #WhoRunTheWorldGIRLS #2018in2018
