so training’s going well! besides the the fact that i have crappy knees and an owie on my hip. my sister in law katie & i wake up at 5 two days a week to run. i dread these days. its a love hate relationship. love to run, hate to wake up to darkness. and saturdays i run when ever i can wake up..or whenever maddix wakes me up. :) the farthest i've run so far is 6 miles. i am proud to say that i beat my record time yay! i was going for 8 min miles but i think it came out to like 8.5 min miles? you do the math. i did it in 52 min. i am hoping to do better than that in the turkey trot though. 5 weeks until the half marathon! i’m excited and nervous. but mostly excited :) my motivations will be 1. to drink a large chocolate protein shake when finished. 2. to wear the shirt around and say that i did it :) 3. to burn
1300 1800 calories in one day {1300 from running 500 from nursing. SCORE!}. 4. to hopefully enjoy a nice dinner out to eat..yeah brig?? 5. to be in good shape of course!
thats all for now.
love, shelby
p.s. did i mention that in 21 days i will be riding the waves in hawaii with my lovely husband? not to mention i get to run a 5 mile & 9 mile there and i am STOKED! and yes, brigham will be joining me for those as well :)
pss. it wouldnt be a complete post if i didnt post a picture of my darling maddix. so here he is with his cheesy, but adorable smile, enjoying the AMAZING weather.
it does become a love hate relationship but love it, i miss serious training but trying to get back into it! i actually loved running on vacation too, I ran my 4, 5, and 8 mile run in new york and it was a blast! great job and keep it up, its so fun!! have you looked at the course yet for your run? your so lucky its not a mountain trail run! good luck! oh ps maddix is adorable!
