Low key morning…NOT. 18 miles in the books before noon!

Active Weekend

Tonight T and I are going indoor rock climbing since the Living Social deal I bought in March/April is about to expire.

Tomorrow is my 18 miler then we are going camping for the night. Considering how hard I’ve been sleeping lately I think I’ll be just fine sleeping in a tent.

Since we’ll be up in Harper’s Ferry for camping we may do something active Sunday too, we’ll see.

Mental Health Day

I called in sick to work today. I never do that and I’m also very rarely sick. Work has been stressful lately I top of moving and training which were/are exhausting. I needed to sleep in. I needed to not get up before the sun to run my 9 miles. I needed to accomplish some errands. And I really need to finish unpacking. I hate not being settled. I haven’t had a “free day” in weeeeeeks. Seriously I don’t know the last time I was traveling, packing, running, working etc. I wish I got more done today, but I’m happy to check off the things I was able to check off today.

WIW: Drop it like it’s hot edition

This week: 195.4

Last week: 196.8

Change: -1.4

Wow I can’t believe 2/3 into training and the weight is finally coming off.

I’m down almost 10 lbs total in 12 weeks! (Half of the weight has come off in the last month).

Usually in long distance race training I lose weight at the beginning of training and then just plateau so this is quite the change, but I’ll take it.

I’m faster thanks to the weather and to actually being lighter!

It’s less than 6 weeks to race day if I could be in the 180s, even 189.9 that would be amazing!

My new sports bra is on fleek!

Actually I don’t know what that means, but it’s orange and pretty and from moving comfort and was on sale!

Check out my race medals photobombing me!

However don’t check out how white my stomach is compared to the rest of me!

Seriously the Dublin Marathon has been on my radar since my early days of running. I can’t believe it’s FINALLY happening! Can’t wait to cross it off my bucket list!

Someone from my alma mater will be a featured story about her 70 lb weight loss on GMA at 8:44am Saw it on social media and thought I would pass it along.

Made Fred a lookout perch so he can see out the windows!

Look at that!

I’m less nervous about my “peak” training week coming up of 40 miles (20 miler week) since I moved my long run from last weekend to this past Monday (Labor day), got in all my weekday runs, and did this past week’s long run yesterday.

Some people DRIVE less than 45 miles in a week!
