Michelle Obama Arms

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!
