Alright, so my birthday kinda ruined my training. I was on track up until Wednesday, then Thursday was a horribly stressful day at work. I met up with my cousin after work, and we had a birthday dinner at Portillo's. You cannot work out on a stomach full of Portillo's!!! Then Friday I went out with some friends, and Saturday was my actual birthday. I was hoping to run in the morning on Saturday, but by the time I woke up it was already too damn hot. Then on Sunday...well, I was too busy recovering from Saturday to be able to go run!
On Monday I went to the gym and did a light workout of weights and cardio. Last night my schedule said to run 3.5 miles; I did just that. I was supposed to run 2 miles tonight; I did my 4 mile route. What a suffocating, miserable run! I had to stop and walk a few times, but never for more than a minute/minute and a half. I really wanted to stop and turn around after a mile, but I'm glad I pushed through it!
I stayed right on track during the first week, and fell off the wagon a little in the second week. With this week though and moving forward, there is no room to be lazy anymore! There are 10 weeks to go until the half. I'm still at a point where the training is pretty easy for me - I haven't done a run yet that was beyond anything I've done before. The more challenging, longer distances start next week! Ahhhh!
