CREATING THE GAME PLAN

SPIN: 60 MIN.

I did make it to the gym tonight. I was another great ride. We did alot of long hills tonight so I know that I will feel it in my legs tomorrow. I can't find my HR monitor so I guess I'll just have to order another one. I've started to pay more attention to that especially in spin.

I am currently working on revision#4 of my training schedule for the Flying Pig Marathon. I have been looking for a sidebar training log that keeps track of time not miles. It has taken an adjustment period not to think in miles. I think in multisport training you find that. A friend asked about not looking at the miles and why not keep track of what you run in a certain time. I think it's because I am so OCD about have the miles rounded to 2.0 not 2.18. I am still in the pondering stage.

This is the second race that I have signed up for in 2007.(3/19) It fit perfectly? into my training plan. The course is noted for the hills and bad weather. If I'm going to do it--bring it on!

The other piece of my training is my weight. I now weigh the most ever and I am 20 lbs. over my last marathon weight. I need to lose weight without compromising my training. So that becomes another aspect to ponder.I had a nutricounter but they now have an updated model. I went online and ordered one to start watching my calories and diet. As with everone Jan1 will be a big day!


Waddling and pondering.......

JUST ONE MORE DAY

ZERO

I am taking one more day off. I am feeling better but not great. Everything is finally breaking up in my chest and I've coughed up a few fur balls. The marathon is 18 weeks from Sunday. I have the plan laid out. I feel like because of different things happening that I've restarted my training 4 times. This has got to be it.

My MIL flew home to Cleveland today and Bino went back with her for a few days. She was wonderful to have here for the holidays. She has picked out an area to build about 10 miles from here in an over 55 community. She is so excited. Next week her home in Cleveland will go on the market. For the first time in months this is a little sunshine in the future. We will always miss Dad but we have come to a turning point to go on.

Waddling to a relaxing evening..........

UNDER THE WEATHER

CHRISTMAS EVE: RUN: 45MIN. TREADMILL

This cat expresses exactly how I feel. On Saturday, I developed sneezing, fever, body aches, and sore throat. I tried to ignore it. But it continued and continues to get worse. On Christmas eve, I headed for the gym for spin class but went at the wrong time. So I headed for the treadmill for a 2 hour run that stopped at 45min. I just couldn't do it. I think everything has just caught up with me.

My mother in law is here. I love her to pieces and feel bad that I am under the weather. My hubby has been doing the cooking which he is great at. The best news is that my M-I-L is moving from Cleveland to Illinois. She is there alone since dad passed away on Thanksgiving. She is a wonderful lady and it will be great to have her closer.

I think training is halted for now.
