4 Miles...

Down...we did our first 'long run' for our 1/2 marathon training today! Before we left I told Jimmy I had planned on running and walking maybe twice during the run...but he challenged me to NO walking...he said if I had to slow down, to slow to 5mph and slowly jog - and I DID IT! I know I ran 6 miles back in October without a problem...but since the pneumonia I haven't been able to run that many in a row. Anyways...I did 4 miles in under 40 minutes. Here is my Nike+


So after tomorrow we are done week 1 of training and have only 11 weeks to go!

Today at my WW meeting I was down .6 lbs, not great, but still down. I made a promise to myself today - I bought a 3 month journal and am filling it in UNTIL IT IS FULL. I am tracking wheather good or bad for the next 90 days - that is my commitment to myself. That will take me until right after my 30th birthday and I want to be at my goal by my 30th birthday - so that is my plan.

I also joined the 2nd BLBE challenge today! Go and join!! We are doing teams and that will take us through the end of April. Just in time for spring.

I also went to AC Moore tonight after dinner and bought some stickers to put on my Fitbook pages for after we complete a workout. I bought Shamrocks (for the Shamrock 1/2 marathon that we are running) and some stars. Just a little more motivation.

Oh - and today we found out that the computer on my car is dead. This has been an ongoing "we can't figure out what is wrong with your car" thing since it died on the way to work on December 1st....they have had it for 2 weeks now. And now they say it is going to cost $3K to fix it. We are going to see how much a used part is and go from there - we are worried that other things will go wrong with it since it has 150K miles on it and is almost 7 years old...so we might be forking over some serious money either in the fix it department or the new car department. Not exactly what we needed at this time, but oh well there is a reason for everything right? I have to get us a rental car for at least Monday though, since I have my first day of my new job and have to go to orientation in VA for the day, so Jimmy and I can't exactly carpool.

I know I didn't post a menu last night, but there was just so much going on...I did track - just didn't have time to post...the challenge is on for this week too - to post a menu every day - so lets see if I can do it!!
