Gosh its been a while.... so to sum up what has been going on, I had a revelation about 3 weeks ago and am not holding back on things. I found myself holding myself back in certain areas of life and have vowed to change that mindset. For one, I decided to up my running again. It has been hot, very very hot so I have taken it mostly indoors. A few weeks ago, I did a 5k and got second place in my age group. There were not that many people competing but it was hotter than blazes at 8am. I was not happy with my time but I did the best I could with what I had. Since then, I decided that I was going to train for a half marathon. This is set for the end of August. I have not signed up for the race yet because if its going to be 100 that day, I wont do it. I have been training for it though. The course is very flat so a treadmill is what is my pain of choice for long runs. (Last week I did 10)
I am really excited about this race and hope its not going to be a hot day. I have already been dreaming of my race gear, camelback with ice cubes, crasins, water bottle, etc!!
Last week I also started a bootcamp class. I have been stuck in this rut of consistency and could use a little change. It has been a lot of fun doing this class 5 days a week at 530am! I also have started tracking what Im eating again. This is something that I used to do but just got lazy. Tracking what you eat really opens your eyes to what you are putting in your body. (at least it does for me) I have gotten my focus back in this area again. I couldnt believe how much sugar I was taking in! It was ridiculous. Before you start thinking im going type A, relax... Im not. I am just being knowledgeable about my food/health choices. So... there is zero ice cream in the house, limited candy, brownies, cookies, cakes, etc.
