Ready for Pink

Run Time: 35 min Run Distance: 3.75 miles Eliptical Time: 30 Minutes Additional 3/15 Abductors @80 lbs, 3/15 adductors @ 80 lbs

So yesterday was horrible for the side stitches. I had them from the time I stepped on the treadmill until the time I stepped off. I tried so hard to get them to go away but had no luck whatsoever. So I toughed it out and figured if I could at least make it to my 5k mark I'd be okay. Then I hit the elipticals and did a moderate workout there. Not real pleased with yesterday's training but I can't really do anything about it. At this point I really wish I could just push some magic button and make these stupid side stitches go away!

Anyways, this Sunday is the Race for the Cure. I think I'm at least ready for that. And then dun dun dun....next weekend I begin official training for my half marathon (as in a set schedule of distances)!!

Oh and the no internet at the apt issue is hopefully going to be resolved. We were being internet pirates up until about a month ago the pirated people figured out how to secure their network. So thus leaving us without the free usage of internet. But soon I think I've convinced my roommate that internet is essential.

A packed Gym

Elipticals: 4 miles--40 minutes Running--2 miles--20 minutes

The gym was packed yesterday. I kind of thought that it would be a little lighter because it was starting to get warm outside but I guessed wrong. I would run outside but I've become terrified of slipping on ice since I've heard a few horror stories lately that involve some pretty horrid injuries. I think I'll definetly wait for it to get a little warmer outside to ensure that I stay safe enough to be able to run my half marathon.

My workout was pretty good. I pushed it pretty hard on the elipticals because all of the treadmills were taken for a good amount of time. I did get a small run in as well. I found it a little tough to transition from a hard workout on the elipticals to jumping on the treadmill but I was pleased that my body found it challenging.

I've attained a whole new goal other than just trying to complete a half marathon. Now, I really want to try to get into better shape even before I start training in May and hopefully even better shape when I do start training. Yesterday I had a rather big discussion with someone that made me really want to work to look my best.
