RECAP...

Its been a couple of months since my last post, and I have several good excuses:  buying a new home in another state, moving to another state (TX), kidney infection, working two jobs etc, etc, etc.

The good news is that I have been able to loose some weight (thanks to the kidney infection) and have managed to continue to run.

I am beginning today a 12 week half-marathon training but there is no half-marathon, just the training part. I am planning on repeating the training every week for two weeks, so the total training should be 24 weeks.  Houston does have a half-marathon in January… so perhaps that is something I can accomplish… will see.

So back on track, first day was today and it was a good run. 3 miles in the 5 o’clock summer heat was just what I needed to start highly motivated. With my heart rate at 192 just 12 minutes into the running, well, it was wonderful!. It felt invigorating, cleansing and fantastic.  After the run I took the three kiddos (niece 2 and sons 4 and 1) to take a shower outside, they loved and I got refreshed.

So here we go, working it out, trying to stay tune…

The Workout:         5 minute walk

                                30 minute run
