Today started my week 1 of the half-marathon/weight training and so excited! I actually went running this morning because tomorrow is an all day at work that I just know will leave me zapped. Run went good although it was a bit too cold and my muscles just were not wanting to warm up. As you can probably tell from the picture, I am a bit type-A when it comes to information and like my information visually organized.
This training program looks pretty busy but the good thing is that I am used to most of these exercises and know how much exertion they will cause. Because of that I am breaking down my days by doing my runs in the morning and strength training in the evening.
I also started a very specific nutrition plan that is going to test me because of the constant "grazing" every 2 1/2 hours. I just do not eat that often (which is probably my problem) so I have to get used to that especially breakfast. But I am going to have to keep telling myself that this is for my own good, right?
But my goals are not only physical but also spiritual. And you can say I am trying to buff up my heart and my soul. So this week I am reading a new book I bought about the story of Esther.
I love to read books about women-- and men, who God uses in unexpected ways to prove His power and show His love for us. And boy, it does not get more unexpected than Esther. So, I am really looking forward to the lessons in this book and how through the story of Esther, I can learn more about the unexpected moments in my life.
What about you? Any goals for this week either fitness, nutrition or spiritually related?

I've been sick so health is my number one priority this week and feeling better! Looks like you have a great week ahead of you :)
ReplyDeleteOh no. I hope you get better soon. Let's hope the week goes well.
DeleteI need to get my grazing under control, I feel like I want to eat all the time. I think its the cold weather, my body wants to insulate!
ReplyDeleteAs long as the grazing is healthy, you should be good.
DeleteAwesome training plan! I hope it all goes well! Eating more frequently throughout the day has really worked for me!
ReplyDeleteYay for half marathon training! I think the half marathon is my favorite distance, it pushes me to the point I think I'll break but then can still finish and wanna do it again haha. Will this be your first?
ReplyDeleteYes this is my first! Which is probably why I'm nervous and excited at the same time! Lol
DeleteAwesome training plan..eating more is so important it will help you keep up with your training :) good luck
