My training for the Richmond Half Marathon is in full swing! I'm back to running every other day and doing yoga or working on my elliptical on my off days. I'm using Saturdays for my "long runs" as well. I missed my long run last week, but I'm picking up this week with a four miler.
Currently, my short runs last 30 minutes, including a three minute warm up and three minute cool down. During the 30 minutes, I usually run a little over 2.5 miles. By the time the half comes around, I would like to be up to three miles during the 30 minute period. Hopefully, my speed will be where I want it in November!
On a different note, I am still working on weight loss. I've started to use a website, www.caloriecount.about.com, to track my calories and activities. It's like Weight Watchers online, but it's free! It's very helpful when helping me understand the good and bad about what I eat.
Again, my weight loss strategy revolves around running. I'm very confident that I can stay on track with both!
Happy running!
