Ran outside both days this weekend!! Felt fantastic! (though....I'm out of shape. The first mile was really really rough both days.) I was finally able to try out my garmin forerunner! Despite a big start up time...it takes about 4-5 minutes to locate a satellite, it was very helpful and very interesting to see what my average pace was. I'm loving that Spring is here and I can do runs like this on the weekends again!!

I'mmmmmm baaaaccccckkk!!! Spring is coming and I am burrsting at the seams to run again., especially since I received my very own Garmin Forerunner for Christmas from my parents and I can't wait to try it out!
I was supposed to meet with my trainer today, but when I got to the gym I just wanted to RUN. So I did 3 miles on the treadmill and it felt really good. He's very flexible with my schedule so I'm going to meet with him again tomorrow. Even though I haven't been logging my miles on the blog here, I've done a teeny tiny bit of running over the past 2 months and am now at 21 miles for the year. (Which is peanuts considering I was at 136 miles by this time last year!!)
So here's my plan: Those half marathon training schedules I've done before are 12 week schedules. I'm now 11 weeks out from my wedding. So, I'm training for a half marathon again....except the Half Marathon..is my wedding. The only time I've stuck to a specific running plan was when I had this schedule in my calendar and stuck up on the fridge. If I did it before, I can do it again, and I'm really not going to be too hard on myself if I miss a run here or there, because it's not about beating a time or anything. My biggest concern is not keeping up with the weight lifting and ab work that I've been doing. Last time I trained, my endurance was great, but I lacked muscle because I didn't keep up with my weight lifting.
So here's to training for another Half Marathon! (only actually...not)

I was really surprised there wasn't really bad "January Gym" this morning. Usually the gym at the beginnign of January is waaay packed with people trying to kick off their new year's resolutions. Well..today it was pretty empty, which I was happy about! Although, many people may still have off today, so perhaps tomorrow it will be bad!
Anyway, I'm on a roll with startin' the year off right! Ran 5 miles this morning and it felt great! I'm 9.5 miles ahead of where I was on this date last year. But, I'm sure that will quickly change...

I've been working out I swear!!!! It's just been harder to write out since I'm doing much more combination of thiings.
I think I only ran ran 2 miles last week...I did the elliptical , DVD's, and workouts with my trainer instead. And so...I'm rounding out the year of 2010 at 662 miles. Not to shabby if I do say so myself! Now I have a frame of reference to make some goals for myself next year. However, I don't know if I'm going to do more miles next year because I'm focusing more on weight training and other types of workouts and only plan on training for one half marathon. However, I got a GARMIN FORERUNNER for Christmas and I CANNOT wait to use it! This will help me keep a much more accurate count of my miles and my progress. So, with this new handy device, it just might motivate me to run more than ever!!! We shall see what happens, hello 2011!

Today:
Did abs and legs after a 3 mile intense interval run. Warmed up for one mile at 6-6.3 mph. Then for the next 20 minutes or two miles, alternated between running 8-8.5mph for one minute and walking at 3.8-4.1 for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. I know interval training is the best way to burn fat fast so I'm trying to really focus on interval running this week.
