I could not wake up this morning!

So I did 30 day Shred level 2 at 7pm..that was still too soon after dinner (1.5 hours)

So new plan (still figuring out schedule) I have about 2 hours after school for when SO gets home(I like to have dinner ready shortly after his arrival (he does not care aobut this time frame--the perfectionist in my likes it)

I will do the 30 day shred or Elliptical at 530 in the morning M-Fri. then walk doggies. Then after school I will run. The weekends will be sporadic at best do to my still working at restaurant (that will end after wedding)

Tomorrow there is a fun run at 6pm...If I get there early enough I will get a free pair of Bolega socks (love those socks!)

Oh my breathing is still labored...I finally have a doc appointment on Wednesday. Hopefully my symptoms are still there and I don't look like a fool!

REally liking my new career! We are still testing. Hopefully by wednesday I will know which kids I get to help and will start the lessons.

I haven't run consistently in like 2 weeks. I'm nervous about my 1/2 next monday...I figure if I run atleast 3-5 miles five days this week I won't completely die. I won't hit my under 2 goal but I don't think I will die. Thoughts?

Just don't overdo yourself. You have not been feeling well and it probably won't be good to hit this 1/2 hard.

If I am running in the pm, I either run before dinner (at about 5, once my husband gets home--I have to eat a light snack before) or after dinner (between 7 and 8, depending on the time of year. The hotter the later). I don't have any issues about waiting after I eat. I can eat a normal meal and still run 1/2 hour later.

I wish I could be consistent with am running. It is hard to do if I have to get to school early.

Tracy--i agree...no 1/2 pr for me...sigh...

that is okay...stupid sickness!

so i figure Iwill be an afternoon runner do to it will be darker longer and I don't want that to become my excuse to skip morning runs. I will become a pm runner!

Don't worry about the 1/2. If you're not feeling up to "racing" just treat it as a long training run and enjoy all the company and excitement.
