It is Saturday morning and although I am not completely recovered, but I feel a lot better today. I am so tempted to go for a short run to give my legs a move, but I am not sure if it's a smart thing to do concidering that I am still recovering.
It is a 3 hours drive to Subic. We should be leaving before noon. I will report back on Monday 
I am really bummed. My last run was on Monday. That night when I was going to bed I could feel the scratchy throat. I took couple of vitamin Cs and hoped that it will go away. Unfortunately woke up with a headache, sore throat and body ache. I rested most of the day yesterday. Today I had to go in and teach my spin class since I couldn't find a sub :o( I just need to get better for Sunday. Oh, and I am still not in the race. My friend is still working on it. We (Susan and I) decide we are going to go, no matter what. Even if we have to run with the race, but not in the race, we'll do it. I just need to get over this nasty cold for now.
Good news is that I am still training. Bad news is, I am still trying to sign up for the 1/2 Marathon. It is a long story, but to make it short, there are already 700 people signed up (can you believe it ?) so they closed the registration early. Mean while I am trying really hard to get in with a help of a friend who knows somebody that knows someone who might be able to add me to the list. I have my hotel reservation, so as soon as I get in, I am on my way to Subic.
So here is what I did today: Spin class in the morning and then this afternoon I ran a10k ( fast tempo) with my friend Susan. Susan has done few marathons so it is always good to run with her. She really challenges me.
I am going to make myself some green tea now :o)
I took the Saturday off , but went for a long workout today. I rode my bike for hour and 15 minutes (about 28k) and then ran for 5K. It felt really good since I was completely rested from my day off. Just had a great dinner and waiting for 9 o'clock so I can go to bed :o)
Woke up at 8 this morning and feeling great now thanks to my friend's advice about hydrating completely before going to bed. I thought I will wake up sore, but I am not sore at all. So the key is, drink LOTS of water after your long run if you don't want to feel tired and sore the next day :o)
Wow, 2008 is here already
. We just got back from our trip to beautiful Bali, Indonesia. It was great, but I am afraid of weighing myself now. I got to workout only few days out of the 10 that we were there. I went jogging on the beach for couple of days. Both times I ran about 8k. I also went to the hotel gym couple of time, but didn't do as much as I liked to. Mean while we ate so much delicious food and drank lots of good wine. Now you know why I don't want to go on the scale
Anyhow, it is a new year and a new day. So here is my resolution:
#1- I am logging all my calorie intakes from now on for 6 months. It is really time consuming but if I want to lose this 15 lbs I need to do it.
#2- I wil do more weights and muscle training this year and less cardio unles I am training for an event. This will be very hard for me since I am a cardio junkie.
#3- I will drink more water.
#4- I will lose this darn 15 lbs
OK. Now I feel much better.Letme see what elese. I will also be starting my training next week since my Clark duathlon (7.5-30-5k) is on February 3rd. I am still not completely recovered from the shin-splint, but I need to get ready for the race no matter what. If I could lose 5 lbs this month, it will be great. It really will help me with my performance. I will keep you posted.
