So much motivation

I have been working very hard on my running to prepare for the half marathon in September. Since I found out there is a 15min mile limit I need to get my but in gear.
Yesterday I did my first mile in 14:29 and some woman who had been walking behind me stopped and told me I was awesome and gave me a high five.
This afternoon a part time girl at my office told me she was going to try running today because I talk about it so much. So touching!
I also facilitated our office to do a biggest loser starting May 1st. We each put 25$ in and a nurse at the office will weigh us once a week and keep track on a spread sheet. At the end of the 60 days the one who's lost the most percentage wise wins the money (not to mention the unwanted weight!)
Needless to say things are going well!  :)

Pint's and Halfs

Things are going very well this week. It took a major fail to hop back on the wagon.

I have been doing very well overall for the past three weeks sticking to my training program and staying on track with food.
Sunday I fell hard tho...

After skipping my scheduled 10mile walk and getting fried food for dinner topped off with a pint of ice cream for dessert I felt like the biggest failure ever come Monday morning.

By lunch time Monday I had downloaded "My fitness pal" and after work got in a 2.5 mile wog.

I feel much better and I feel my mind is back on track.

I have noticed a small pattern with this behavior, but I am focused on turning it back around.

I plan to wog after work tomorrow and get in my 10miles this weekend.

I found the half marathon I want to do but I also discovered there is a time limit of 3:15 which breaks down to a 15 minute mile.

Luckily I have until September, but this summer will not allow for many slip up's. I have lots of training to do to get my down to a 15min mile (or less)  :-)
