Windy

I've been busy, I promise!  Mid-January I started my marathon training.  18 weeks, baby!  I'm pretty excited about it, but nervous at the same time.  I gave myself A LOT more time to train for my first Half Marathon.  Like at least 25 weeks.  So, I feel like I have no wiggle room with this training schedule.   My fault.  The year is going by so fast, and I didn't realize how soon this marathon thing is coming up.

I'm running Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturdays.  Tuesday & Thursdays I'm doing strength training and teaching my Turbo Kick class.   My biggest goal with training is to focus more on clean eating and not worry so much about the calories as I am filling my body with healthy food:  vegetables, fruit, whole grains, lean meats, nuts.   And eat proper portion sizes.  I'm hoping that I can get some extra fat off my body in the process.  And keep myself properly fueled for long runs.

Last night was Wednesday and I was supposed to run 3.5 fast miles outside.  Ha.  Well, with 55mph winds and gusts up to 70mph...my run was not going to be happening outdoors.  But, lucky for me I decided that if I timed it right...I could do my fast run on the treadmill while watching the Republican Presidential Debate.  And, so was my evening.   We had breakfast for dinner because after coming back from Boise I didn't really have time to plan out my meals for the rest of the week.  Scrambled egg whites with ham & sweet potatoes.  It was so delicious.  I love breakfast for dinner!
