When you find yourself on a downhill slide.....

Make sure you put on the brakes! I have been less than disciplined lately on a personal level. I haven't been running, working out or even eating right. I have somehow managed to completely miss meals and when I do eat, it tends to be on the not so healthy side. Alcohol has also been a major food group for me over the last two or three weeks.

I feel like shit and it sucks.

I have no idea what happened. I am grounding myself for the next month. No alcohol and no fast food. No sodas either. Gym three days a week, running three days a week. Going to give myself one day off a week and no excuses about working out either. So what if I just came off a 24 and have to teach the next day? I have to pass, not one, but two gyms on the way home from work! There is no excuse!

I have a goal - The Women's Marathon in St. Pete Beach is November 22nd. I have already entered and I want to run it in 2 hours. I did the Disney Princess Half in 2:30, I think I can do 2 hours.

I'd like to write more, but I have to go run!

Cheers!

You go girl! It's funny how our bodies start functioning poorly when we don't treat them right. I just spent 5 days in Tokyo eating way too much yummy stuff and I feel like doodoo. Ohwell, back on the fitness train.

Great job finding a race - that always gets me motivated. Maybe have 2 hours as your ultiamte goal, but have some back ups. I always like having 2:10 as one of my goals because then I know I've run sub 10:00 miles. :)
