First Day of Training...and my new FitBook!

Well today was the first day of 1/2 marathon training and it went well we had a 3 mile run on the schedule - we were going to run outside - but then the temperature dropped big time so we opted for the gym. Here is my run from my Nike+ at the end Tiger Woods came on and told me I ran one of my fastest miles yet :) I did walk twice during the 3 miles once for 1 minute at 1 mile and once for 1 minute at 2 miles. Then I hauled butt the last mile.


Tomorrow is cross training or 2 miles - I have decided that I am going to do cross training on days when running is not required so that I won't burn out on the running. So tomorrow we are back to the gym for our cross training and I think we are going to do some ab work too.

My FitBook came!! It actually came on Saturday - but today at work was the first time I had a chance to sit down and fill it all in. I LOVE IT!! Jimmy and I are sharing it...we both put our weight and measurements on the goal page and he is following the workout plan with me - he just doesn't write down everything he eats - if he did we'd have a novel!! The boy eats and eats :)

Here are some pics of my FitBook there is a 12 week planning page where I filled in our entire 1/2 marathon training. There is a weekly planning page as well as daily planning pages and daily food journal pages. There are also 2 pages that I didn't take pictures of - one is of the measurements page and one is the 12 week goal plan page - I will take pictures of them and post them at the end of 12 weeks so that you all can see how far we came :)

Here is our 12 week 1/2 Marathon Training Plan on the PLAN! Page :)

Here is our Week One Plan and my Weekly Goals

Here is our Day One Journal (my food) and our workout

Here is the back of the FitBook - there is a pocket for your gym membership card or some money - and as you can see there is something paper clipped to the back of my book - it is Michelle's post from Friday December 26th...you can read it here :)

And last but not least is my menu for today - I am making it a goal for this week to track and post my menu every day through Saturday...I did eat a lot today - but since I haven't tracked in a long time - I didn't do too bad...
