Like I said last post I was planning on running 3 miles outside today. Well hubby is gone and wont be back until late tonight, so I did what any dedicated athlete does... I compromised and went to the gym. I took advantage of the nicest daycare worker, Amy and left my children with her for 67 minutes.
I ran 6.5 miles on the tread in 67 minutes.
Dude I will take it. That is my long run of the week, so I have absolutly no shame in preparing to run only 3 miles outside on Friday. Babysitter, (haha not really babysitter, it's my kid's Honey, aka Dad's fiance) is lined up for first thing in the morning, have my map lined out and I will be ready to take the hills of Orchard Street in Caldwell first thing Friday morning.
Happiest news ever? I made my dad a carrot cake last night from scratch. Heavenly if you must know, but I only partook of one (kinda big) piece. Didn't feel a bit guilty about it, went to bed and got good rest. I woke up and headed to the gym, upon my return t0 the home front, stripped down and weighed to see that magical, beautiful little piece of weight watcher scale read 139.6~!! Granted I had just run a long run, but I will take below 140 anytime of the freakin day and shout WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO!! I haven't seen below 140 since 6 months after I got married.
It's a great week for weight loss. I am so thankful I get to work out, I get to eat right, and I get to see great results on the scale!!!

I am so so proud of you for only eatingone piece of cake YAYA GOOD JOB you are a stud keep it up you can do anything you put your mind to you are such a strong women, mother, wife and athlete keep it up
Do you have a training schedule for this half marathon? In my experience I do better when it is all out on paper how much I am supposed to run and how many times. You can google half marathon training schedule and pick the one that suits you best. Good luck!
Why to go Teri! Just reading your blog makes me wanna get off my butt and go run! Thanks :)

That is so awesome!! Sometimes you have to be willing to adjust and make changes because in real life plans don't always work, what am I saying they almost never work! :)
