I'm still here: Day 14

Every other weekend I work 3 days in a row, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. This past weekend was one of those weekends, so when that happens, I am 99% certain I will not be running! Besides in the emergency room, I run there a lot! Literally sometimes too! Thankfully, I love my job! So every other weekend I won't be training for 3 days! :/ Which makes days like today harder! It is freezing here still, so you guessed it, no outdoor training for this girl! I headed up to the gym a little early tonight before Zumba to get a short jog in. I was like ok, lets get this mile done! After all, I barely had time to do the mile and be in Zumba for the first song! Why was it at 0.15 of that mile I was debating on quitting at a quarter of a mile or half of a mile?! To get to Zumba on time? Could it have been the 3 day sabbatical from running? Yes, my foot hurt, but that wasn't it, actually the longer I ran, the less it hurt! Is it the treadmill running? Or the I don't want tos? Whatever it is, it needs to stop, quick! I have less than two weeks before I run my first 10K! I am super excited to give this a try! Luckily, I pushed and convinced myself to do the full mile. After all, I would only be cheating myself if I didn't do it all. I ran the 1.00 mile in 12m10s! Yup, you guessed it, I beat my best time. I started out at 0.5 incline and 4.7 mph pace. At the half mile mark I dropped the incline and picked up speed doing 5.0 and finishing strong at 5.8mph! Then I did Liza's 50 minute Zumba class, and worked my arms doing the big rope and bench pressed 2 sets of 15 reps. I added 5 pounds to the bar on the second set tonight also! Gotta get these arms in shape too and lose the purses I carry around! lol  I'm also excited that a new Titan Challenge will be starting later this month! The tentative date for the start of the challenge is January 26th, which I work so I will have to weigh in 3 days late on Tuesday the 29th. But better late than never! I'm going for the win this time! Last challenge I lost 12.2 lbs which was 5.045% body weight and 15 inches! It's on this time! Praising God for helping me through tonights mile and every mile! I couldn't do it without Him!
