10 Weeks

Ok, ok....I know it's been a while. And there is a good reason. 1 - I've been busy and 2 - Not a whole lot exciting going on that I have felt is blog worthy. But I figure I should still give you all a little update....

1 - Training Update

The 1/2 Marathon is only 10 weeks away!!! I can't believe it. It is flying by. I still have SO much work to do! SO, SO, SO, SO much work to do. But here is where I am at...

My longest runs.. I have done an 8.5 and a 9 mile run. Those were both 2 and 3 weeks ago. Last week and this week have been a bit of a struggle cause work decided to take over my life.

I haven't really been following any strict schedule. I try to get in whatever I can get in and go for as long as I feel I can go for. But I'm thinking with only 10 weeks left that I'm going to follow a schedule - which I'm putting together this weekend. I found some on runnersworld.com that i'm probably going to use.

Oh..don't ask.

Holly (she's the other fool in the pic above) and I have some major stair training to do! I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to climb 3700 stairs in the middle of 13.1 miles. The plan - find myself a football stadium with some good stairs and run up and down them for a long time! I need to start doing that soon!

I've lost a total of 40 pds since October-ish. (27 of those were lost since January when I started officially training). I'm trying to stay as strict as I can with what I eat until I go to China cause I'd like to lose a lot more.

2 - Guitar Hero..


I'm now at the Hard level! Yahoo!!! I finally beat Lou in the last medium level face-off. I hate Lou..in case you cared. :) The hard level is...well, hard. But i'm working on it! Ashley, I hear you are good? We need to have a little challenge online! :)



3 - Has this ever happened to you??

huh...well, it happened to me. Except I was sitting in my car and the thingy that usually releases itself when the tank is full decided not to release itself. That was fun. Luckily I didn't get too much gas all over me and my work clothes. Moral of the story...don't trust the thingy that is supposed to just stop itself.

ok - well that's it! 'til next time! :-)
