Marathon Plans

So after much reflection over the past month and yesterday’s post, I finally have an answer for you. I will continue blogging under the name “running diaries” but I will continue to reflect and make a final decision on the one year anniversary of my blog. Sound good? I think so too!

Anyways, I have decided to register for the Green Bay Cellcom Marathon in May. My dad will be running it with me and pacing me to run a 3:45. I was thinking about it and everyone in my life is setting me up for success with this marathon. Both Andy and my roommate have agreed to help me train and my dad will be pacing me, so honestly it just comes down to me being religious with my training plan. I am officially registering Thanksgiving weekend when I go home to visit my parents.

Thursday’s are seriously my favorite days of the week. I don’t have much to do and I am home by 2:30 which gives me plenty of time to workout. Also, I never do homework on Thursdays because I don’t have any classes on Friday so I can have a guilt-free no homework night. Hooray!

Starbucks and Sequins

Wenesday’s are typically my busy days. I babysit bright and early, intern all day, and then have a 3 hour night class. There’s nothing particularly bad about Wednesday’s, they just seem to drag on for hours and hours. For my internship, I knew I would be sitting in meetings all morning so after I got the kids on the bus I made a quick pit stop at Starbucks and then headed off to my meetings. Yesterday also happened to be a very gloomy day (as is today) and so I decided to wear a sequin skirt to brighten up the dullness outside. And therefore yesterday was deemed a Starbucks and Sequin Day.

Yesterday was also a rest day from anything fitness related. I really missed being able to get a workout in because I feel that I have a better perspective about life and myself after I workout. Today I will be on the elliptical for one more day to give my hips a rest and then tomorrow I am back at running. Would it be weird to talk on the phone while I elliptical? I can’t decide if that’s a fitness center no-no or if it would be ok. I guess I’ll decide how I feel later! There is also a yoga class I want to attend tonight but with my hips being funky lately I feel like that’s probably not a good idea so I will save that for next week. Good thing I already have a date planned with one of my friends to come with me! Thursday’s are typically my easy days with school and what not so I am definitely looking forward to breezing through the day and having minimal things to do tonight.

Today is another gloomy day outside so my plans to walk downtown and get a chai have been crushed. I guess that means I just have to get moving a little bit quicker so I have time to drive down there. I hope Thursday treats you well!
