I was doing so well too! Over the weekend, I get sick. :( I threw up and everything. Light-headed, achey, and just plain yucky feeling all over. Needless to say that won over my challenge. I was really mad about it all too, as I was doing so well. For those just joining me, read about my challenge to myself here.
Yesterday, I sat down with my calendar and my training plans and looked at the year ahead. Or at least to my first race this Spring. I am not sure if I told you all that I signed up for a running challenge with the Badgerland Striders Running Club in Milwaukee, but I took the plunge. The challenge… Run 8 of 9 races that the Striders host, starting with a half marathon on April 5! (South Shore Half Marathon) I looked at my calendar and the only race that I cannot commit too is the last one in November. (If I am re-elected to the massage Board that I am currently on, we have something planned that day already. AND if the Spartan Race is the same weekend as last year, that is the same weekend...) When I cross all 8 finish lines, I will earn a Strider jacket! AWESOME!!!!! Plus I get all the race swag before that. I see I am going to get some gloves in April. I have been told they are pretty loud colored, that makes them even cooler!!!! If you want to join me in the Super Strider Challenge, go here and sign up. We can attend the banquet/party together.
Today, is day one of the challenge re-start. I biked for 45 minutes and hope to start adding some strength stuff this week. I really need to get into a yoga routine too. Baby steps, and I will have the perfect work out plan. As it is I have about 6 weeks, I think to get ready for this first half marathon. I still have yet to see a doctor or chiropractor about my butt issue. So that is on the adgenda for this week too. One day at a time I guess.
Off n Running,
AnnMarie
