Ok, so after several months of working two jobs I have finally settled into my one salary budget and have the time to commit to a marathon again. Today marks the beginning of my journey to the Savannah marathon on November 3.
Today I put a check on one of my bucket list items -- auditioning for the Falcons' cheerleading squad! Although I didn't make the first cut, it was a lot of fun and I am super proud of myself for trying something with little to no experience. What it did do was encourage me to continue on my path of healthy eating and fitness.
Saturday Brian and I will be running a 5K, the One Love Stauche Dash. This is a fun little race for Cinco de Mayo at Tin Lizzy's in Buckhead. So, this week I'm going to be concentrating on speed runs for that race, then I will start in on my long runs for endurance.
With the Atlanta heat already in full swing, I foresee the warm weather being a challenge this summer but will hopefully use my dedication to pull myself out of bed early in the morning. My most recent run was a three mile slow jog on Friday afternoon:
I'm going to continue to use myfitnesspal.com to track my calorie intake and keepitmovingfitness.com to help me work in my strength/toning training. Bring on summer and my journey to the marathon!!
