I Surprised Myself

After a very long day of working...

Taking my son to another appointment with an orthopedic surgeon in NYC.

Yes, he needs surgery but after Italy...thank goodness!

Did I mention the traffic to & from the city???

It was outrageous!

I haven't been in that much traffic since I can't remember when...oh well.

And even after dinner...

I worked out!

BTW I changed training programs.

I realized the 1st training program was designed for someone who can really run.

I mean, run 4-6 miles 5-7 times a week.

That's not me.

So going with my friend Lisa's suggestion,

I'm following the Hal Higdon's Novice 1/2 Marathon Training Guide.

Since I was in CA for the long holiday weekend, I missed week 2 of training so I started week 3!

And I'm doing it!

Hal Higdon's training guide has me running 3 times a week & crossing training 2 times a week.

Today was a crossing training day and I rode an incumbent cycle for 32 minutes, 7.5 miles.

Tough but it felt so good!

Even though I was tired from the day; I'm committed to running the 1/2 marathon so I gotta stick with my training.

I surprised myself & did!

Whoo hoo!
