Hello! How’s it going? speaking of ‘cheat days’ today is national dessert Day!! Oh yeah. Let’s do this. instead of chocolate or ice cream I did red wine as dessert last night and headed to a girl’s night out. SR is trying to get me much more social. I don’t know why, but I’m rolling with it as long as alcohol is involved.
It’s still very hot here so I wore a Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Catar light sundress because everything else just makes me hot and sweaty (and shows my sweat). and I was sporting my new favorite thing – a California charm. I found it randomly at a local boutique and had to have it. I’m not a big jewelry person but I do love running related jewelry and now I love repping CA.

This is how you know red wine night is getting serious… the Stick comes out.
And you know you came home too early when you still want to party and have to play around with your cat and new Pirate hat solo…
Before girl’s night I had a terrific lunch of TJ’s egg white salad on a bed of tons of veggies. plus some good spicy peanuts and corn nuts.
Random note / random Marshall’s find – Barney Butter! This stuff is terrific but expensive so I was pretty thrilled about it.
Marathon training Week One
In running news… I’ve been struggling with getting on track with marathon training. I’ve been running too typically and too numerous junk miles and it shows in my results. I’ve gotten slower instead of faster toward hitting my pr goals. I’m not upset about it Camiseta Newcastle United because I have been using running to escape and just get away from the house or life or both.
My mental health is much more essential than what I weigh or my race performance. I’ve had a really hard time in my relationship this past year. and for whatever reason running when I’m sad makes me run slower. Running when I’m mad makes me run faster but I haven’t felt angry (which I guess is good that I’m not an angry person, but bad because it could have helped my running?). Ha!
Also, listening to podcasts and books while running seems to make me slow a bit too. The pace of the voice reading in my ear makes me want to slow down like I’m taking a walk with a friend. That is fine too. in some cases I don’t want to think about life during a run and want to get lost in a story.
Now I’ve come to a relatively stable place and am ready to sign up for a goal race and actually follow a marathon training plan. I will do some half marathons in training and maybe a full mary or two because the plan I chose has multiple 20 milers. but it ought to work fine because I’ll only be running 4 days a week. The other days will be cross training / gym and rest days. I’m using the Run less Run faster book as my training plan but am not sure what goal pace to choose just yet so I’ll have to evaluate based on a few weeks using the plan.
Today I did a tempo run – 1 mile w/up, 5 miles tempo, 1 mile c/d. I wasn’t as fast as I set out to be, but I did a lot better than I’ve done in a while because it was a run with a purpose.
The tempo miles were:
8:25
8:29
8:34
8:14
8:21
I was aiming for under 8:15 but it will work for a start.
For some reason I am in all purple today. call me Barney. It’s really random that companies send me A lot of purple gear and it’s my least favorite color to wear. But, totally free > purple so I will wear this ish all day. thank you.
Question: What color do you never wear? Are you training for anything best now?
