So week one (I'm actually a few weeks behind in writing!) of my half marathon training plan for Canton Hall of Fame. It was a successful week as weeks go in measurement. I ran twice...I lifted twice... Not exactly a miracle by any means but I knocked a few workouts out.
Played around using the Fitbit and the New Balance watch. They don't give me the same distance nor the same pace. But I still like the Fitbit for tracking my heart rate. I noticed that since I started back in December in getting back into shape that my resting rate dropped from upper 60s to low 60s. By fitness that means I'm getting somewhere.
Reading my notes in my old fashioned hand written log and I remember that we actually had a cold day this winter. Most days have been unseasonably warm, hit some record warm temperature, and had barely enough snow to register it all winter. But on my Thursday run I found myself in a semi-whiteout and very cold windy weather that produced freezing snow pellets. It's a bit crazy but crappy weather like that sometimes invigorates me to finish a good run.
I've also been tracking my weight every Friday during Biggest Loser with work. I started at 148lbs the first week of January...and well as of this week I'm still at 148.
So other than a pretty boring week in training. I've got nothing! Track conditioning started, I'm still working in the cafeteria, City Council is fighting about chickens, and the winter bugs are staying away from our family at the moment. Life is good and my new shoes will hopefully be something I obtain sooner rather then later because my legs and feet hurt after running in the old ones. Let's see how week two stacks up!
