Half Marathon Training Starts Today!

I have been sick for pretty much a month straight.  Although I am not feeling 100% yet, I need to start training for the Sunburst Half Marathon, which is June 4.  I am running it with one of my friends, the one I ran the 10K with last year. 

I am also running my first 5K of the season in two weeks.  I am running this one with another friend, the one who got me started running races.  I plan on running another 5K in May as well, another one I ran last year.

I will continue on with my TF/CLX hybrid, but I will be doing more running and less Turbo Fire cardio.  I LOVE TF, but I need to set other fitness goals as well.

Speaking of goals, I made my new goal weight 140 pounds.  I have been getting comments about "if I get any smaller, I will disappear" and what not.  Plus, that is in the healthy range for my height, and I want to add more muscle anyway.  That means I only have 7 more pounds to go.  Wow!  It's been a LONG journey, but I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel.  It might actually happen before summer too. Awesome!!  After that, I plan to focus more on fitness goals and toning up.  I will have to figure out how to maintain my weight then.  Kind of scary. 

Anyway, going to rest up before my run tonight.  Also, since it's spring break, I want to spend some quality time with my kiddos (but I do have some grading to do as well...no more than 2 hours/day though). 

Later...
