yeah its been a while!!!
the sickies finally left the house and all is good...
still in the gym,still running
operation LTBW is going well--
AND as of 7/14 i have dropped almost 8 inches
so about 2 inches a week...
12-14 more inches to go!!!!!
it took me about 16 weeks to drop ALL the inches and then some and be back in all my old clothes after i had Mckinnley,so as of now,i am right on target since my goal is to be back in all my pre-pregnancy clothes before October.
lets see if i cant get my 6 pack back before Halloween!!!!
in other news,someone turned 2 a couple weeks ago!!!!!
and yes,she had real chocolate cake......

| my eyes are smiling! |
 |
| ate all the icing first,then the cake...had a sugar high..... |
 |
| and then a sugar crash..... |

| 2 months old already!!!!! |

| too cute for words... |
marathon training is going well,albeit i am feeling very slow and find my speed work days to be challenging.
i did a 10 mile run last week at 10 minute mile pace. my speed days i am averaging about an 8-830 pace. this feels challenging to me,considering before pregnancy,i was averaging about a 5:30 mile pace or under...
what makes me feel better is that for me to run a 3:35 BQ time,i need to average about a 8:12 pace over 26 miles
and training pac
es (according to runners world magazine) should be as follows:
| 9:14 min/mile | Easy run training pace  |
| 7:41 min/mile | Tempo run training pace |
| 6:56 min/mile | Maxmum oxygen training pace |
| 6:25 min/mile | Speed form training pace |
| 9:14 - 10:25 min/mile | Long run training pace |
3:33 min/800
so the good news is that im not too far off of this plan.
the ego crusher is that this whole training process would be easy if i did it before pregnancy,seeing as my cardiovascular shape was way above the times listed above.
but,it is what it is-i can only get better from here,right!?the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.....
most training days are great and i feel really in the zone and focused...and yes,in marathon training humor,theres been the occasional moment i find myself quoting Robert Frost-
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
cause this chick aint gonna stop until my goals are met...
and when they get met,i will find another goal and keep going.....
thats just how i roll..
: )
ok,the baby is awake now-time to get back in mommy mode.
will try to do better at posting progress and training--
happy Friday yall!!!!
