13.1 training & Christmas

Leave a comment

Christmas was really good full of family time and great food!

It has been really hard to stay focused and on track during Christmas. I have been really busy and haven’t felt that great, I had a head cold for about a week. Even with the craziness I still managed to squeeze in a few runs, not quite the full mileage my training called for, but this week I’m getting back on track.

I decided to change over to an app called 13.1 to train with. Mostly because I prefer to be able to set my own long run days and unlike Nike+ this app allows me to do so. Though, I am still using the Nike+ app to log my mileage.

It’s time for me to stop with the excuses and move on with training. Right now I’m very slow but after I get my distance down, I’ll start working on speed. (Feedback encouraged)

My week
12/14 – 10.5 miles avg pace 13:25
12/21 – 7.25 miles avg pace 13:20 (sick wk)
I’m feeling good about where I’m at right now.

I will do a year end wrap up on my next post. Also, I’m hoping to lose 2 more pounds so I have a total loss of 66 for 2014!

Leave a comment

Short update since December of 2013 to December 2014 I have lost about 65 pounds..  so I am ready to start training for a half  I started training for my first half marathon using the Nike Plus Running App – Coach Week 1 Day 1 Called for 3 easy miles.. It wasn’t too bad honestly it could have been better.. I just got back from a work convention in Las Vegas and I slacked on my running I missed 11 DAYS. I couldn’t believe it when I looked at my calendar so with that I am hoping It gets easier. I really enjoy running and I am super excited about the Go Girls Half Marathon..

2013 to September 2013 I had lost 55 pounds.

Danskin running pants : Danskin Leggings ( I prefer tight around ankle) Price around $15.00.

I haven't really tried any of the other running pants our there I like these because they are tight all the way to the ankle.

Sport Bra: Asics Sport Bra with front pocket Price around $30.00.

I like this bra mainly because I use my iphone with my running app to track my running and I can stick it in the front pocket.

I am not currently using any supplements however I plan on ordering some more Vega Sport Pre Workout. See previous post about Vega Sport.
I will do a weekly recap of my training over the next 12 weeks.
