13 Weeks before d-day...

I set challenges for myself so that it'll motivate met to reach my goals... Everybody probably does it. But somehow I never reach the goals, because I loose track of where I'm going... A saying that I appreciate because I understand it (and won't abuse it): nothing tastes as good as thin feel; And then when I'm running and really hurting: pain is nothing, compared to giving up... So, I'll try and refer back to these over the next 12 weeks. I want to run one hundred minutes on the CT Classic half marathon (which is in 13 weeks). My training has started and going pretty well. But I know my body...it can't go that fast with this weight that I'm carrying along. And so, once again I'll have to looooose it!! Sleep is a big thing for me. And I've realized that I go absolutely NUTS when I need sleep and am hungry at the same time. For the next 13 days I'm just going to try and finish a challenge of not eating any sweets for 21 Days (I've failed for 7 days so far :-) ) I'm posting everyday on twitter @Maringa_vZyl And then I'll figure out how I"m gonna eat from there. I want to try some of the LCHF stuff (Banting), but just here and there. Exercise wise: I've not completely found my grove yet, but this is what's happening thus far... Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays I run 10km's with the girls at 5am Thursday's I try and do a speed work session at the gym of about 5km's And Sundays I usually try do a long run (about 20km's). The morning runs have a couple of hills in them, where the girls all walk as soon as they're over it. But I've started running back on lamp post, and speeding it back up and jogging on from there. I need to do some weight training somewhere (maybe on Saturdays). I'll try and weigh myself and take measurements so I can keep track every Friday. Plus, I'll take pics every 3 weeks. Not looking forward to the latter, but we'll see... :-) Lekker slaap wereld! I'm off to bed!!
