Ice cream time!

I went to the gym today and weighed myself and I'm 98.6 lbs. So..I think that means I get to go on my ice cream diet because I still haven't reached my goal of being over 100. Actually, since none of my pants fit right after my half marathon (and they do now again) I think I may have lost weight since then. I don't know...I'm going to work on the higher calorie diet again.

I need to drink more water too.

A new goal?

My first post on this blog! Yesterday was Thanksgiving and I ran the very unofficial Turkey Trot at BBC. A very dissapointing race because it took me 28:20! That's like 5 minutes slower than my XC times. So that was kind of frustrating especially since I ran that pace for the whole half marathon a month ago. My training really went downhill fast!

Today I ran this morning and also had a pretty bad run. I ran a 5 mile loop around campus reallllly sloooowly! 11:15 pace- yikes! Actually, I think I've been running my long runs too fast so maybe that was good. I ran about the first 4.5 miles with side cramps and only finally started feeling okay at the very end. I think I ate too much breakfast and tried to run not long after. I also was not happy with my clothes choice and was too hot. But tomorrow hopefully will be better!

If I really am going to run a marathon- I haven't signed up yet :-) - I'm going to have have higher weekly mileage. I guess I still have a little time to decide since I will probably run it in May. 6 months out still! Right now my focus in building back up mileage wise and get faster to break back into the 25 minute bracket for 5K's. That's still slow but I don't need another 28 minute one for sure!

So guess that's it for now. I went to the gym today and found some exercises that I think will make me stronger and a really cool stretching machine! I want to do a better job on core strength and stretching this time around. We'll see if I can keep it up!
