As a mom of many, I know all about excuses... And if I havent used them all, I have probably at least heard them all. Excuses make my head hurt! We've all got 'em, we all use 'em- but we dont all let them define us! I squashed my excuses a few years back and took full responsibility for myself and my actions.
I am a strong mutha, serious about my health as well as the health of my family. I strive to set a good example and live by what I preach: Motion is lotion/garbage in, garbage out/you are your actions, not your words... I hope to help others learn ways to get in exercise and a healthy lifestyle without extremes or burnouts. Simple, eveyday tactics to Get The Job Done!!
And yes- usually WITH your kids!!

16!

So, today was a scheduled 16 miler... And for the first time (in this training) I need to slow down;) I seem to stick around 9:30 or less. Problem being I'm kinda dieing around 12 miles:( Last week it was a nutrition issue, but this week- I dunno?? And- I've felt I've needed a nap all day!
Perhaps the workweek got to me, or the lack of Xtraining.... Legs were dieing before the lungs, and back was sore. Gotta get used to the job and get back on track!

Official re-start

This week marks the pick-back-up of marathon training. I found (quickly) that running in the deep south through summer was pretty depressing! Therefore I focused of tri training and let the long runs go...and speed runs for that matter! It's showing now, but it will get better!
I don't have a mantra for this training yet/ haven't had enough time to think of anything but "you need to go!"
10 miles this Saturday, fought for neg splits but was off by 2 sec per mile;( like I said- lots of work to do!
