So far my training for the race has been going well. Took a break from running today, I've run 5K everyday this week up until today, and just did yoga/strength training with a 7 mile bike ride thrown in. I know, I know, 5k that's nothing. But considering I was lucky to run 2 miles on a good day and I rarely ran more than twice a week before the month started I will take my wins where I can. We can't all be Charlie Sheen. "I'm winning!"
A bonus to all of this new physical activity is that I am getting a lot more done around here. Instead of being the monitor/laptop staring slug of old, once I work out I am ready to take on all my household chores. So today, realizing that yes I had dusted, vacuumed, mopped, and done the laundry yesterday I decided to do something crafty. So I broke out a bin of fabric scraps and started making me some new headbands for running. I prefer my hair on the shorter side, but find it annoying beyond belief if I can't pull it back when I run. So I rolled up my sleeves and took matters into my own hands. I don't care for my store bought headbands because they tend to either slip or not really hold my hair back. Not anymore I made a super cute reversible band with elastic that goes under my hair and doesn't slip.
Very happy with my day. Oh, and the sun finally came out! Quite a milestone in our trudge toward spring here in the midwest. So tomorrow, I take my run outside and try out the GPS feature on my Nike+ running app.
Wish me luck!
