Just completed my 6th long run which was roughly 6 miles, that means only 6 weeks until half marathon time!! Time is flying. I do feel like my endurance is increasing but I still don't feel that strong. Legs feel kind of sore in spots and I know its from running on the treadmill. Oh how I HATE the treadmill! The annoying part about today's run was that I didn't feel loose until well after 4 miles. The good news is that the whole route I did was 6.6 miles, part of which was just my warm up and cool down walk, I did the whole route in exactly an hour!! That's definitely less than 10 minutes per mile, I'd be more exact but my phone died on the run and I was using its pedometer. I'm very happy with that though.
I got the best compliment ever yesterday. I was still wearing my tank top from the gym yesterday when I went to visit my grandma. My uncle asked if I was lifting weights and I said, "Yeah, why?" He said, "Wow! Michelle Obama arms!" That could be THE best compliment ever. So excited!! Glad those weights are paying off b/c I'm never sure that I'm doing them right even though I only use the machines which are idiot proof.
Starting to get nervous that this next stretch of WW is going to be tough. Wondering if the weight I lost so far has just been the low lying fruit sort of thing. Its nice to be back in the realm of my normal. Got size 8 jeans today at Old Navy. I'm feeling like the noticeably troublesome spot is my jelly belly/muffin top. No surprise after having three kids but I will have to work on it. BIG TIME!
