Yesterday was a fail on the training front, but a win on the tooth fixing! ...so not all that bad!
Today I did a quick mile run on hills (even that made the ol' heart want to explode and tonight will be going to the gym for cross training. no video blog as no time! sorry!
no training. in pain. back molar cracked in half (all the way down), masochist dentist pulled out half of molar with tweezers, then added a temp filling, which promptly fell out the next day when i got tired of the liquid diet. Still in pain. dentist can't fit me in for 2 weeks... Currently searching for new masochist dentist who can perhaps fix tooth quicker. tomorrow i load up on pain killers and train (unless i can find a dentist to fix tooth tomorrow.)
Almost forgot (due to pain that's making me unable to think straight)
and er, i failed miserably. Today i had lots of editing to do so i switched my rest day from monday to today (sunday..i haven't gone to bed yet! so it's still sunday in my book! :) ) I also ate a massive roast sunday lunch...erm, think i'm going to have to work on this whole healthy training thing...
So today I began my first day of training. It feels all momentous, like the first day of school. I always dreaded the first day of school.
I took it fairly easy today and completed a 3.35km distance (2.08miles). I alternated a walk/run pattern as suggested by most training plans. Even that had my lungs wanting to explode! It was also so cold today that there were no worries about sweating. ha!
My friend Anna may join in on the race with me again, so I would like to get my running up so that I can maybe keep up with her...She's a speed demon compared to my pace. My pace = slower than most walk ;)
It's embarrasing but i'll tell you, i'm averaging like a 14 minute mile. My excuse is no exercise for a year and a half, little legs..and it was hilly! er, yeah. So besides distance, my new goal is speed. I definitely need to work on my speed!
My training log on mapmyrun is basically telling me i'm too fat and too slow. I currently have a big dislike for it and we're not talking.
