I am stuck in some kind of horrible mental rut right now. It sucks. Its mid April and the weather is off and on with the temperature and it is going to rain all week. But more then anything weather related I am so overloaded right now. I feel like I have a thousand things to do this week, and I just dont know if I can fit it all in. Its all wonderful stuff that is only benefitting my life in a positive way, but I took on too much.
I ran the earth day half marathon this sunday. It was fun, but hurt my knees. My GPS said something different then the course. I dont know why. It said I ran 13.86mi in 2:14:08. When I looked at my phone at 13.1mi it was 2:08. SO that is what I am going off of. I felt like I was booking it the whole time, and 2:08 would be a PR. I forgot to bring my knee brace to the run and there was a major down hill a few miles in. My knees were SCREAMING down in and i feel like it set me back a little with strength, but the rest of the course was flat and straight so the pain subsided after a mile or so. The marathon is less then a month away now and I run my first 20 on sat. I am feeling pretty confident about it. My goal was to run it in a 4:30, but I feel like a 5 is more likely. It will all come down to how my knees feel on the course. I hope I can find some off road to run on. As long as I finish under 5 I will be ok. But I am going to push for a 4:30 the best I can.
I am upset about my diet/weight loss goals. They are not going well at all. This morning I was 124.4 and 16.1 body fat. Thats about a lb above what I am usually at. I think im about to start my period, but I have been munching a little more then usual cause of being so stressed out and busy. I still dont feel like it is anything excessive, but I may be wrong. A friend told me that I need to start eating more, but I feel like I already eat a lot, maybe not enough? I dont know. I really do think I need to go see a nutritionist just to get some 2nd opinions.
Goals: ACE exam - April 26th - pass!
Marathon - May 15th - finish without walking!
June - start CSCC and quit CPC to cut back on time and get degree
August 5th - Run for Addiction
August 29th - Bike MS
Just a few things to check of the list
