I officially signed up for the Disney Princess Half Marathon yesterday! YAY! Its becoming more of a reality that I will be able to do this, and its a great feeling!
Yesterday was a difficult run for me. I was planning on running over lunch, but forgot my shoes, so I ended up running just before dinner. I just was not in the right mindset for running(I wasn't feeling well and had a headache) - and just did 4 min run/1 min walk intervals for 30 minutes. Even though I really had to push myself through the run, I STILL got a better time than I did last week on the same run! It's great to be able to look back and see that I am making significant progress, regardless of the setbacks. Its amazing to me that I can run 4 miles straight one day, then two days later struggle with an easy 2 1/2 mile run. Hopefully tomorrow I will recover from the bad run and have a good run!
My knee has been bothering me the last couple of days - it hasn't really been hurting, its just been very stiff when I bend it. In talking with my Zumba instructor, she gave me some great tips - including getting gel inserts for my shoes, and getting a knee brace. Although I did not yet invest in the knee brace, I did go today to get the gel inserts. We'll see tomorrow how they work. =)
WEIGHT LOSS TIP: Eat at least 5 fruits and vegetables a day. I can always tell that I am less hungry on the days I eat more fruits and veggies. Also, when I am hungry, but know I don't have that many calories left, I will reach for broccoli, or green beans with spray butter. You can eat a lot for just a few calories!
