Running...

So I am in the middle of my half marathon training, actually the run is in 2 weeks and I actually have not officially signed up for it yet.  Struggling with money and the actual running at this point. I did finally breakdown and by my new shoes, Brooks Ghosts.  My last pair were well over 3 years old and so beyond needing to be replaced it is quite embarrising. 

So my long run on Sunday (11 miles) was absolutely HORRIBLE.  About 4 - 5 miles in my body starting feeling wore down and then I got stomach cramps.  Very grateful for the extra TP I keep in my bag, making sure that continues.  Posted at about mile 7 on how bad I was running and thanks to support from Joyce and Jeremy I knew I was going to have to do the full distance, but it ended up more as a run/walk than a true training run.

                                                                                                                                                           Wanting to ramp up my physical and nutritional training.  Want to see what I truly can accomplish when I get my mind to it.

Doing the #22pushupchallenge as well.  Also trying to add a Burpee challenge, Ft Monroe is not the place to do Burpees, sandspurs suck...LOL
