"And I was runnin' "- Forest Gump

Don't you just love that movie? Well I thought it was an appropriate start to the week ahead. My sister and I have started a training schedule so we can compete in the San Antonio Rock and Roll Marathon 2011. We tried to start up last week, but there were some interferences
  • Monday- Nothing interfered we ran the mile and a half in our neighborhood. Problem was that we had planned to work out upper body and it didn't happen.
  • Tuesday- I have school from 8am-8:15pm so I did some running on the treadmill ( I do know that it isn't the same as running on the pavement). So we didn't run either.
  • Wednesday- I had my last field placement for this semester YAY!!! I also donated blood. Which is not conducive to running long distances. (because a mile and a half is long distance, I asked). So no running once again.
  • Thursday came around and I did make it to 2.67 miles on the treadmill which made me happy, yet doesn't really count.
  • Friday- I have to admit I flaked, I was really excited about seeing people from Harris and having a good time that i decided not to run. Which sissy was not thrilled about but she secretly was dreading running again.
  • Saturday-Felt super duper bad and pushed my self on the treadmill, a full three miles! yes go me!
  • Sunday- always a rest day-but my muscles were killing me, I guess if I am going to push really hard with the cardio, I should take it easy with the lifting.
Well that was my week, here are a few training guides that I looked at before deciding to start a running schedule.

Ok I have more awesome News, the fiancee and I have set a wedding date (well more like I set one, but it doesn't matter) I will post more on it at a later date. It is 18 months away which seems like the perfect amount of time.


Now off to class so i can finish up the semester.
FYI I am taking my certification test soon so i will be locked down for the next couple of weeks. It's Ok though, gotta study, study, study!
