Training Day 2

Ok Day 2 was tough.  Had a hard time keeping motivated through the soreness on the 30 minute Treadmill running workout, though I completed it it was not pretty!   However the 6 miles (30 minutes ) stationary bike workout was GREAT!  Keep the percentage around 88%, level 5 and went 6.32 miles in the 30 minutes.   I was very happy with that!   All in all feeling really good!  Welcome Day 3 REST day!  

IT'S TIME TO START TRAINING

Ok well it has been forever since I did my last blog so I figured with my training starting yesterday, my training logs printed that I should start keeping track of my progress!  I hit the gym last night and felt pretty good considering I haven't been in a gym in well a VERY long time.  So tried the Elliptical for about 20 minutes, then I did the stationary bike for about 30min. trying to keep about a 5 minute mile pace.  Which I was very surprised I did actually.  I did 6.2 miles in about 30 minutes. 

I had a good dinner with Chicken and Vegetables.  So I am feeling pretty good right now.  Sadly what started all this was that Monday March 30th I weighed myself.  Mind you I am 5'1" and medium framed and I weighed in at 179.5 lbs.  OMG!!!   Serious reality check.  I weighed only 178 lbs the day I gave birth to my daughter in 1994.  SO WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!   Well I just turned 46 and I guess I have gotten lazy.  I believe I am a very active person constantly on the go but my eating habit have gotten out of control.

IT'S NOW TIME TO START GETTING HEALTHIER!  I love to run little 5K events here and there.  I have even Juwagged (aka...walked , jogged ) a half marathon or two, but I have never been to serious about anything.  So that time has changed.  I have decided on a goal for 2016.  I will be running (yes you heard me right) running a full marathon in February 2016.  It's the Surf City Marathon on it's on February 7th Super Bowl Day!   Let the pain begin....
