Another long absence between posts
Well, once again, it's been forever since I posted. A lot has been happening in my life. It's been insane, but I think it's finally beginning to level out. My husband and I separated for about a month, but I am in the process of moving back in right now. So far, things are going very well. There are issues that we addressed that should have been addressed years ago. I am still working on some issues that I have, especially concerning forgiveness....
While we were apart, I lost about 5 pounds... got down to about 124. I'm still maintaining it for the most part, I think I am back at 126 right now.
Saturday, I ran another 5K.... I set a new personal record (PR) of 27:40. The best part was that when I finished, I didn't feel tired, really. Not like I have at other races. I actually felt great! And I got up yesterday morning (Sunday) for my long run. I did 9 miles. A very S-L-O-W 9 miles, but 9 miles nonetheless! I am going to try to get back into doing my FIRM videos this week. While my husband and I were separated, there was just no room to work out at my dad's house, so it was strictly running for me.
My husband is starting to run a little. I am hoping that he will be ready for his first 5K to run with me in the Jim Herrin 5K on August 11th. That was the race that was my first last year, so I thought it would be great if we could celebrate the anniversary of it by running it together this year... this time as his first race. He has been following a beginner plan that he found in one of my Runner's World magazines, but I think I might show him the Couch -to-5K plan from CoolRunning.com. That's a good one too.
Today, I am planning on trying a 5 mile run. Tomorrow will be crosstraining with a FIRM workout, and then speedwork on Wednesday.
I hope everyone out there is doing well.
