Long Time, No Write!

Well, alot has happened since I last posted! I am now training for the Fargo Marathon Relay. I am excited about it. I finished One Hour Runner. I am now trying to build my pace, as my ultimate goal is to run my leg in 50 minutes.

On the weight front, I have gained about 7 pounds. I am not happy about this, but weight watchers has seemed to take a back seat to eating healthy and training. You see, I find it hard to eat really healthy on weight watchers, especially following the flex approach. I know that it's now called momentum, and I have been going in monthly to weigh in and keep my lifetime status. I am still doing ok as far as being under my goal weight. I am more interested right now in eating more whole grains and fruits, vegetables, etc, than counting points. I guess I am doing more of a core approach. Like I said, the weight creeped up over the winter, but I am hoping to take it back off as I get outside and vamp up the training!

We're getting a blizzard today. I am SO tired of winter. I hit the treadmill for my long training run for the week and made 8.11 miles in 80 minutes. I am happy with that! I burned off almost 950 calories!

I hope to take some measurements later, report them on my blog as well as my running stats, so that I can record the last 8 weeks of this training process.
