About a year ago I had decided to run a half marathon with some friends. We signed up, and I finished the OC Half Marahon on May 1, 2011 in 2:51:23 (also known as 5421st place). I was ecstatic to have finished in under 3 hrs! It was a good day.
Then I stopped exercising alltogether, put on 30 pounds, and found myself limited to a single pair of work pants that were still button-able. Lame.
Anyway, I bring this up because I think I want to run it again this year. I won't be able to seriously train with running until after the p90x routine is finished (circa early April), but I can sneak in some long runs along the way and then start dedicated training at least a month before the race. Sounds do-able to me. I'm officially excited.
In other news, I'm proud to report that I'm still securely on the wagon. The weekend was tough because I went home for a funeral service, which meant booze and comfort food, but I had saved up my WW points and stayed within the weekly allowance. Yey for me.
On the workout front, I missed one of the six p90 workouts last week (shame on me) and am determined to make all six happen this week. After just one week I already feel stronger! While my weight loss is not progressing quite as nicely as I had planned (see prior post), my body composition is changing. The aforementioned work fat pants, which were treacherously tight at the end of last year, now have some give at the waist. 2012 is going to be my year!
