week three...

i think all 5 of you know that i signed up for a half marathon come this october. {only 108 days left!} but anywho...i want to keep track of my training progress, and i'm going to do it here. soooo enjoy it haha.

so far training is going well. granted i'm only  on week three doing 3.5/2/3.5 miles during the week and this saturday will be 5 miles. slow and steady right? right.

but at the end of each run i feel good and invigorated and feel as though i could go a bit farther. that makes me optimistic for the upcoming weeks and the actual race. starting tomorrow my friend michelle will be doing strength training with me, and every thursday after work. i'm excited...and terrified. she did a leg workout with me a while back and i could not walk for a week. she is going to kick my trash!

.

so now that i've got the whole going to the gym thing six times a week down, i need to re-evaluate my meals. what can i say? i have a serious sweet tooth. like really. so my friend kara informed me she would do the whole "no" sugar thing i was doing at the beginning of the year. and i'm going to try and eat better in general. more fruits and veggies and lean meats. 

I CAN DO THIS! 

.

so if any of you guys see me about to eat a piece of pizza/brownie/cookie/other junk that is not classified as fruit/veggie/healthy snack, knock that thing out'o my hands yo! 

also, any words of encouragement are more than welcome! ;)
