Race Week

I can't believe that my 1/2 marathon is just a few days away.  I have done quite a few races I think for the time that I have been running.  This is my 5th 1/2 Marathon...my 1st was in Aug 2010.  I am feeling ok for this race.  I know that I won't PR it but I am feeling pretty good that it won't be my worst time.  I think for my next 1/2 marathon (hopefully we have one in my community over thanksgiving again...need to look in to that or I will have to find another one for the fall) I will work more on speed.  I am hoping that I won't drop my long runs below 10K.  I don't want to have to start over each time I start training for a race.  I am hoping to be able to do the around the bay next year.  I did it 2 years ago and I was not ready for it at all.  This year I am hoping that my training goes well and that I am at a good weight for me.

Speaking of weight, to be at that happy, healthy weight I have just 20 lbs left to lose.  I really do not want to put weight back on again.  That was such a dissapointment when the weight came back on and it has taken a lot of work to start getting it off again.  I was so miserable when I was eating unhealthy.  I MUST REMEMBER THIS.  I need to be a good example for my little boy.  I see really bad eating habits in him already...eating big portions and eating out of boredom.  I am trying to work on that.  He is going to have soccer 2 eveings a week, plus swimming, plus gymmies when school is done should be good for activity level...just really work on the food consumption. 

I have a couple more weeks til I go back to work and I really want to have my house in good shape by the time I go back.  I want to live in a clean and organized house.  That will mean weekly cleanings.  with my work schedule this seriously should be no problem.  I just need to get the big cleaning done in these 2 weeks and then the weekly cleaning won't be as bad.  We so need to purge big time.  Hopefully we will get some of that done this summer.

Have a great Thursday.
