I joined this program at my gym so that I could get back into training mentally, and truly to be held accountable to someone other than me so I would actually show up. I'm one of those people that can justify missing a workout at a moment's notice. I have shown up to all of my workouts (except the added on this past Saturday morning), and you can see a transformation beginning. Now, I did get a little frustrated with my trainer. If i hear one more time about how you need to use your arms in long distance running because "if you look at the woman who won the gold in Beijing" I might have to take him outback and shoot him. For the record Jim the Trainer, a) I have a running coach, and a great one at that, b) I have been a runner for easily the past 20 years and just needed to take everything up a notch and recommit, and c) for Jeebus sake's, I'm going for my USATri Certification...again. It's not like I'm clueless, I'm just lazy!
With that said, week 3 begins this evening. It was determined I should cut another 200 calories from my daily budget, which it's a problem. I'm down a whole pound from last week, a slight disappointment, but I'll recover. I have to recover. This Sunday will be my second Long Beach Half Marathon. I'm going to be walking most of it as I have just begun running again. I'm determined to start with a 3min/1min run/walk ratio.....we'll see how that works out!
Next weigh-in will be Friday, and hopefully Jim the Trainer will survive the "Wrath of Jenn" until then......I'll let you know if he doesn't!
