Anyways your doing great! I notice you live in ontario!!! Maybe we can run the mississauga half together??? (Thats the run I am aiming for right now. It's in may so it gives me tons of time to build up my running) Take care!
That would be fun but Mississauga is about 18 hours away from where I live - maybe one day though! Keep it up and don't ever look back!
Aw I really hope you get better soon! You're still doing amazing all things considered in my opinion
And congrats to your sister for winning and how lovely of her to share it! Your motivation is probably having a rest, you've worked it very damn hard you know. It'll be back shortly knowing you!
Thanks for the nice words - really means a lot.
Hey Lisa......Wow you are one mean exercise machine.....I am exausted just reading about it! Sorry I haven't around much lately I have missed being on here but have to get into the new routine!! I am glad I got to catch up with you diary and I wish I could be there to cheer you at the finish line when you run your marathon!!! I am thinking of tryint to train for one next year...we will see how busy I am with the kids then!!!! Congrats on all the workout...I am sure the eating will fall back into place now that summer is over and routines are comming back!!
Thanks Veronique! Miss you too. I'm not where I was expecting to be for this half so it is a little disappointing but none the less I'm going to give it my all!
Dang, I'm in awe that you can still exercise, especially run(!), when you are sick. Hope you are feeling better now.
Thanks Mizzie -I ended up getting strep throat so I probably shouldn't have gone out when I was sick!
i hope you are able to pull out of your rut soon!! i hate those. its great that you are running a half marathon
i have always wanted to run one. i look forward to hearing how it goes. i think i am going to do my first run next month... 5k i think. not far, but a good start
good luck.
Gosh I hate being in a rut too! Wish I could snap my fingers and be out of it. I think the change in weather has something to do with it too - summer is over
Hey there lady! Hope the weekend revives you a bit; I need it to do that for me, too. Have some chocolate milk, take a nap, be back to normal in a few days
Dang I was worse this weekend then last - ended up getting strep throat! Now I'm on medicine so I should be back to good soon!
Ok so a few updates...I was sick again this weekend - this time with strep throat but I'm starting to feel better now that I'm on meds - it's a real downer this happened around my training because I was in a real groove with my runs and then I just didn't get out at all and now I'm stressing a little that I won't do as good as I planned or won't be able to run it all. I've just been feeling down about it lately and need to get some energy and excitement back.
On other news I won't be able to update regularly for the next few months while our company is completing it's re-org. I'm worried they will check my access and think I'm not busy enough to keep my job if they see I frequent here regularily. We got a laptop now though so hopefully soon we will have Internet access at home.
I'm going to update after my half this weekend and hopefully get on once a week or so - when I have good news to post. My hubby is going away for some work out of town so I really think it will give me time to focus on myself and get my confident and positive thinking back. We are really lazy together and when one person feels like snacking it always results in both of us eating. I need to remember what it's like to resist the urge and get my willpower back.
Well I don't have much else to say except I will miss you all so much and look forward to reading your updates when I get a chance.
Take care and healthy eating!
