Half of a Half=Hella HARD!

I had this crazy notion that 6.5 miles wouldn’t be that much harder than 5. Considering that I’ve run 5 twice now, I “reasonably” thought I had 6.5. Hells NAH! Much different animal!! I freaking did it, but I was working my a$$ of literally. I felt like big bowl of jell-o afterwards. It was seriously mental mumbo jumbo and sincere prayers that got me through it. I can’t even think about next Monday at this point. In my afterglow I am pretty stoked that I ran a half of a half. That is kind of cool!
I hit yoga today and had a pretty good exercise week, burning a total of 5652 calories. Here’s my HR breakdown:
5/3 Step 564
5/4 Run 793
5/5 Step 704
5/5 Larks Killa Workout 909
5/6 Run 197
5/6 yoga 395
5/6 Run 1776
5/7 Yoga 314

I can honestly say I didn’t track one single point. That being said I know without any doubt that I was well within my point values, mostly because I spent the week eating repeat meal plans, so I knew what they point values were. I enjoyed this chicken Marsala of sorts (wine, onion soup base, feta, spinach, mushrooms, onions and chicken)



And then we ate a wonderful cranberry, walnut and feta stuffed chicken breast served with sautéed spinach and mushrooms.


I enjoyed a wonderful Mothers day, on Saturday my hubs and I painted the outside of my mom & dads house; this lead me to believe that since I worked myself to the core that I was entitled to enjoy my brunch guiltfree at a local historic hotel that was nothing short of awesome. I will definitely return to check out their other special event offerings.

I don’t think I have actually explained my intentions. I am tentatively planning on running a half marathon this year. I really have my eye on a FEW! Geez…Did I just write that? I’m following a training plan and crossing my fingers that I really can do this. I have a few friends interested and I’m totally stoked, I’ve said if before and I’ll say it again. I will be an athlete, even if it kills me….;)
