Recovering

Wow...those hills really kicked my booty this weekend and while I had planned on running today...my calves said NOPE!...I did spend sometime working in my yard, cleanin up broken tree limbs and trees from the storms that rolled through last night. I also push mowed for about an hour and took a 2 mile walk this evening. I had planned to hit the gym this afternoon and do an upper body workout, but a call from the realtor letting me know that the house we lease is to be shown tomorrow, sent me home to clean and prepare for this. Apparently the house is now being shown in short sale so everything is up in the air around here...to move or continue the lease with new owners is the question of the moment...only time and prayer will give us the answer...

So I have taken a couple of days to recover from my half and to plan where to from here. I said if I ran the half in under 3 hours I would start training for a full. I ran in in under 2.5 so full training is part of my plan...I have a race in mind, but I don't want to commit to one just yet...I want to see how the training goes..

I am also planning to see what classes are possible for me at the gym tomorrow...what will fit in my schedule to add that to my routine this week...I want to try something new and mix it up a bit, I figure now is the time. Hopefully tomorrow I can sit down and get a shedule of what I am doing so it will a planned thing and that will allow for consistency.

Nutrition wise...it has been soso this weekend...Saturday morning was good, but the after race party and the pool party was anything but clean. I definitely could tell I had too much sodium because of all the bloating in my belly...it is amazing, I can go from like no tummy to a round tummy overnight when I eat the wrong foods. I can also tell the effect of the white flour in the crash I felt later and the lack of energy...obviously my body has gotten used to eating good, clean, whole foods...today was better and I can tell a difference...really need to get back to my gallon of water a day and away from so much caffine...

So recovery time is up and time to start training again! Time to start fueling my body again. Time to start working on the goals I have set for myself this summer...time to get serious about my dreams and goals...

I can do this, failure is not an option! I will be be fit and fabulous! I will not get slack this summer!
