NOT!! So I'm back from the Big Island and I had quite the amazing time, but needless to say I haven't exactly been motivated. Tonight I did a nice 4 miler to put me back in the game. We're coming up on really less than a month for the Great Aloha Run and I'm really excited to be running it again. It's 8.3 miles and I think pretty decent scenery after you get out from under the bridge, lol!
Lately I've been thinking a lot about how much of a novice runner I really am. I have so much enthusiam for the sport that sometimes I forget what I really don't know. So, I'm determined to find a running group as soon as we get to Alameda. I think it will be great and teach me so much to be part of a group. Some real running commraderie ya know?...I'm also going to re-read Chi Running; this really great book that my great friend Joy gave me awhile back. I remember before I got pregnant it was helping me line my body and really feel how it all works together. It's way more than that, maybe I'll post some stuff from it as I get into it again.
I've started the 5 factor eating plan again. In 2008 I lost about 10-15 lbs upping my running game and eating along this plan. It. Is. Amazing. I love the food and it's not really expensive. It taught me how to look at food differently and it's stuck. Recently I've been having a really hard time with body image and whatnot after the baby so this is exactly what I need to jumpstart the solution.
Yep, that's about it for now! Happy Running and being healthy to everyone!!! :)
you go girl!
