more changes

We had some discussion as to which half to do. Haven't decided which one yet. I am joining weight watchers on Saturday. I am starting Insanity om Monday....and still doing the half. I know I am crazy. But I am so determined that this will be my last year as an obese person. I am very excited and committed to change. In a couple months I will be as debt free as I could ever be. I am looking to buy a house. I want the house the boyfriend the job and the active lifestyle.

I am inviting someone else to read and author this blog. She is doing a couch to 10 K and she is doing insanity with me.

update

The work week from hell is over! So back to training. 11 weeks out. BUT that is the countdown to a non existent half marathon. Apparently the Run Austin Run marathon was in 2009. So tonight I will find a new one in dallas or austin. There is one that weekend inAustin but it is for women. I think that speed and endurance are important. The 8 minute mile is for the turkey trot not for the half.

Psshaaa!

8 minute miles? I guess I'm working backwards, I'm determined to build up some stamina before I worry about speed.

This week has been... rough. Only been every other day and a collective 8 miles. We're up to regular 2.5 miles - 3.0 is the goal for next week. You think you're slow? We're holding 15 minute pace; which I was actually very impressed with considering the horrid shape I'm in and considering we started at 19 minute pace. I CAN step out, but um... I can run so much longer if I step shorter. I actually think if I WALKED I could go faster right now!
