Half

I am running a half marathon next Sunday. It will not be fast but I plan on finishing. I weigh over a hundred pounds more than I did the last time I ran a half and while I am disappointed that I will have to carry that weight with me, I think it's important that I not let it stop me.

Two years hitting the gym at least once a week. The world looks different than it did.

I have no words.

Monday.

I find myself sitting in my car after a workout, which is both counter to everything my body needs/wants. I've resolved that if I am going to sit here I might as well blog a little. Maybe these won't all be gems. Maybe none of them will but I feel the need to document all of this workout stuff a little more transparently. Current schedule is lifting 3x a week (AMs) and then cardio 9x a week (non lift AMs and evenings) it's rigorous, but I am about 5 weeks out to contest so I'll be pushing a bit harder these days. Stairs felt really good after a rest day.

January. February. March.

So… This happened.

Up

I never stopped training I just stopped posting about it as much. Post contest life has been a lot of yoyo-ing and I am starting to feel like I am on solid footing again. Three days a week with The Butcher. Cardio on off days and Friday is a rest day right now. We'll see how weekday rest day pans out.
