So, my goal of updating once a week didn't happen like I was planning on doing.. even with having an app to do it via my iPad. Twice a month seems like a reasonable goal for now anyway.
I have been running again for almost 10 days following my 2 week break due to shin splints. Although as of last night I do not think that 2 weeks was enough time, so after my long run Sunday I will be taking the rest of November off to rest my shins. This way I know that I am completely healed for my next race in December. =)
Yes, you read that correctly, I did sign up for yet ANOTHER race. I am doing another 5K in Sandusky, OH on December 16, 2012 called the Cedar Point Santa Hustle (http://santahustle.com/cedar-point/). There is a large group of us running this race, and I will not be focusing on my PR this time around. I am hoping that I can register for a 10K sometime in March and possibly one more 5K before doing my 25K the tail end of April. Then maybe another 10K in May before doing my marathon in June. Hmmmmm... decisions.
Fitness wise when I am not busy running or thinking about running I am focusing on my weight lifting which I love! I am two weeks in my second round of ChaLEAN Extreme but am thinking about switching over to Les Mills Pump next week and doing it with Sam. Ever since I became a Beachbody Coach we've been buying their programs to try out. Tonight I am thinking about giving Insanity another go.. I really liked it the last time that I did it (August 23rd) but I pulled a muscle in my calf and it hurt for several days. Guess we will see... although doing P90x cardio wouldn't be too bad either.
One last thing before I wrap this up is that I did switch over to that new eating plan and it's got the weight moving again! I've lost 3.2 pounds since last Monday and I still have two more days until my official weekly weigh in day. Woohoo! I am thinking I will take my measurements and body fat percentage as well, and maybe use the blog to track that too? We shall see.
