No half mary for me

I'm calling the half marathon. Too much work needs to be done before my legs can take it. I'm starting a lifting routine instead. I'll hopefully go:
Mon: Lift
Tues: Run
Wed: Lift
Thurs:Run
Fri: Off
Sat: Lift
Sun: Run

We'll see.

SON OF A BITCH!

.....

First incomplete run. I was scheduled for 3.5 miles, but after about 2.5 I developed a sharp pain in my right medial shin. I made it to 3 miles, but that last half mile smelled like injury, so I called it.

.5 miles down... no biggie. If the run tonight is pain-free I'm ok. It's a short one, so I should be ok.

First 2 weeks done

2 weeks done, and I'm feeling good. This week starts the increases in distance. I'll be going from a 3-2-3-4 week to a 3.5-2-2.5-5 week, so an extra 2 miles this week.

Should be doable. The legs feel great. I do have blisters on both feet, but I can handle that.

I'm really feeling good about this one. I think I should be able to make it.

Perfect Pushups Break

Taking a break from perfect pushups. I'll start it up next week again. My right shoulder is a little sore.

Running is going well. I'm into the second week now.

Week 1 in the books

So far so good.

Pardon my french

But this is the shit!!!! I picked this up on close out and WOW! I ran with it last night at the gym. I may have looked a little "enthusiastic" but whatever, it worked and it's fantastic. I can carry 70 ounces of water on my back and not even know it. Screw little 20 ounce bottles flopping around on a waist pack.

First run on Soles

They feel great! I could have run much farther. I don't want to jinx anything, but these insoles might be the ticket.

Deep breath......

First run of training is tonight. I got my heat molded Soles in the shoes now. They feel great. I hope the perform as well as they feel....

Deep breath.... I won't get injured again.... I'm going to complete my training and run the half marathon.

Training Starts Today!

First day of training. I started the morning off with a nice Yoga routine. I'll do an easy hour on the rec-bike at the gym. I also started cycle 5 of perfect pushups. I'm at 31 max set. The goal is a 50 max set.

I want to make it through the next 12 weeks, run the half, and then start an alternating running/lifting workout. I have a lot of loose skin on the mid-section from the fat loss. I need to start tightening that up with lifting. I can't lift and train for the half at the same time, however, because it will kill me. So I'll do the half now, and start lifting in May.

Wish me luck!!!

NO INJURIES!! *Cross fingers*
