Day: October 16, 2011

I now have an actual 2 mile route planned for tomorrow. Then I shall come home, do yoga with Jillian Michaels and go about my day.

I know that in the end I need accountability, so, taking a cue from @RunStaceyRun, I’m going to post my workout plan for the week. Remember that I’m easing back into this, y’all.

Sunday 10/16: 2 mile run (completed 1.60 roughly…first run back, need to start looking at my routes again…)

Monday 10/17: 2 mile run; Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown Level 1

Tuesday 10/18: Yoga Booty Ballet Basic (love this! strength, yoga, ballet, and abs all in one!)

Wednesday 10/19: 2 mile run; Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown Level 1

Thursday 10/20: Yoga Booty Ballet Basic

Friday 10/21: REST

Saturday 10/22: 3 miles; helping my friend move = lots of heavy lifting

…cat marched up on my pillow about half an hour ago. Boo! That’s a serious no no (butts do not go where my head goes, and since his feet go where his butt goes, his feet can’t go there either!), but it got me up ahead of my alarm.

So I texted some luck to Miss @RunStaceyRun as she’s about to embark on the Columbus Marathon (her first!), had my pre-run toast (no need to be crazy, it’s going to be super short, like 2 miles), and am hydrating as we speak while trolling Tumblr.

Will get dressed soon and head out. Trying to time it roughly with Stacey’s start.

Good luck to EVERYONE racing (or even just heading out for a run) today!

Did a LOT of cleaning in the apartment today. Still need to tackle the storage area(s), but closet, bedroom, kitchen, and living room are much improved.

Half marathon training plan for Cleveland is mapped out in my planner. I know, I’m starting early, but after a hiatus I want to work my way in slowly. And I want to not only break 3 hours, I want to crush 3 hours. My training plan says I’ll finish in about 2:45. Sounds good to me.

Tomorrow will be my first run back from the hiatus. Fitting, since it’s @RunStaceyRun’s marathon debut, and she’s one of my running buddies. Everything is all laid out and ready, just need to set my alarm (not totally necessary, but I like to go at least earlyish, even though this will be a short run).

More tomorrow.
