Just got home a bit ago from watching my amazing friend and her boyfriend finish the NJ Marathon! Words can't quite express how proud of her I am. Even at mile 25 she's smiling and makin it look easy. While standing there with my poster for her "That's not sweat it's liquid AWESOME!" I'm thinking I totally want to do one. I definitely have to train for it that's just a given but, I really think I can do it. Tough Mudder is 10-12 miles with 25+ obstacles so it's nearly a 1/2 marathon. I've definitely got to pick it up with the running, maybe I should do a 1/2 marathon first to get a feel for just straight running.
It's always a brand new week. I'm down 79 lbs total since my surgery and just beaming with pride. On a 5 mile walk with my boyfriend yesterday I told him that I know its only 6 months ago but I can't remember what it's like to be that size anymore. I had walked the trail we were on years ago when I was still heavy and couldn't believe how much easier it was yesterday. I wasn't out of breath at points that I normally would have been. My legs didn't hurt at all, no back pain, no having to stop. So with is being a new week that means new goals to make!
My weekly goals are generally: 70,000 steps/wk, 30 miles/wk, 80g of protein a day, 120 oz of water a day, run at least 3x per week. I'm reading this really great book I probably should make a goal to read at least 3x per week. I also want to try and be asleep by 11:30 pm so I can get up at 7:00 am and be well rested ready to take on the day.
It's all about the journey not just the destination!
