Motivation gets you started, habit keeps u going

60 minutes on the ellip. BORING...but the band is still hurting. I"m getting frustrated.

Did some crunches.

Edited to show--so I realized today that the yearly total includes cross training.

So I had to go back and add up my running mileage--841.13 for the year. Not horrid but not as exciting at 1000.

Also I would like to add that this month has been my highest for cross training. Either I havent tracked it as well in past months or it really has been waaay too cold! LOL

So for after the first of the year I will not be putting in cross training miles so as to not screw myself up for next years goal of 1000 running miles for the year! Which incidently is only 83.33 miles per month. Totally do able!

3:45ish run 19 degrees feels like 8

so after quietly self loathing I took the dogs for a mile walk. The fresh air made me want to run. So I did.

I got to test drive my smartwool socks I got from my hubs for xmas. They are awesome. What did I do before them? My feet were warm not chilled at all. And I got the long ones so even my ankles were warm. Much better run b/c of it.

When I got home I moved around a bit straightening up the kitchen. I did some bridges (i think that is what they are) some squats, stretches, and rolled my legs. Of course I did a 60 sec plank--it only lasted that long b/c my dogs decided to join me in downward dog and one of them farted. Aren't they cute?

846 miles

I would like to go cry now (not so much pain just frustrated). icing my it band. I feel like mym sub 2 half marathon is not in my grasp anymore and def not a marathon. :(

I woke up and felt blah. WEather changes make my sinuses wonky. It is 50's today! OMG

so I ran. It felt good. Probably ran too fast but I made up for it by coming home and stretching, ab work

What made today's run fabulous was that I wore my jacket (it is raining here too) and my new turqoise running shirt. I LOVE IT! Any who i had to take off the jacket b/c I was too hot! YEAH! and just run with my lovely turquoise shirt! it isoooooooo soft!

I did Jillian Michaels Back Side work out today. I could really feel it in my IT band

I think Jillian's exercises in general are very runner friendly. Today i realize we were doing strides (minus the skipping) kinda cool!
