Marathon Mom

I can’t believe I made it to day 30. I’m not great with follow through and sticking with something. The fact that I blogged everyday for 30 days, that I didn’t give up, that I kept going - that amazes me.

Tomorrow I’ll take my Day 30 picture and post all my stats. I’m not really expecting a change from Day 20, since my exercise has been severely limited due to injury. But the diet has been on-target. Yesterday I had a small slice of single layer chocolate cake - and it was GOOD! I didn’t have my snacks, so the calories worked out. I did have two Mike’s light hard lemonades (the last two out of the 6 pack) at bedtime, which means once again I’ve woken up with a small hang-over. Just a nagging one, low at the base of my head, ironically where I usually get my stress headaches. I’ve been having a hard time relaxing at night due to stress. Now that the last two are gone, I’m done with them for a while. I’m going back to Advil PM at night. It’s a bit easier on the system and calorie/sugar/carb-free to boot.

I’m going to hit the elliptical in a few minutes for 45 and then do some squats and straight leg raises (good for strenthening and building the quads, my current injury.) Today would normally be a running day, but since the 10K is on Saturday I’m doing everything I can to heal that injury so I can participate. I did go ahead and register for another 10K on October 3rd. I should be closer to 100% by then and it will be interesting to compare times and experience.
