my half marathon update

Hey Friends!

I am about 2 weeks into my half training and I feel pretty good. I had two pretty good runs on tuesday and wed. Thursday I was on call at the hospital which definitely means no running occured. And Friday I was so tired and delirious the only thing I could do was to make my way to the Cheesecake factory with my buddy Amanda :-) lol. I know.. it really sounds like I fell off towards the end of the week.

Well I am happy to say today I lifted weights for 40 minutes! Ashley and myself have been discussing that we really want to take this part of the training seriously and not leave it off. Today I focused on my hips and legs.

I encourage each of you to lift some weights as well. Running can become really repetitive and sometimes we just need to use some other muscles.

And for my ladies out there :-) Lifting weights is especially good for those of us that want to loose weight. My first year of med school I definitely got the first year ten and when i started to lift weights it did wonders :-)


Alrighty friends. pray for me.. tomorrow is a 5 mile run.  This is why i do not work out on Mondays.. I wear myself out. lol.

KEEP RUNNING!!!

Because i couldnt get the nerve to ask someone to take a pic of me in the gym. lol. i think she is gettin it! and her hair is flawless.
