I started training for a 10k yesterday. It freaks me out a little but so did the 5k and I did that! I have 6 weeks until my next 5k and 13 weeks until the 10k. The program I’m doing is a 12 week schedule but I figured the extra week wouldn’t hurt. This week I run 3 times at an easy pace, 2 or 3 miles depending on the day. All I can do is try, my mind is so far the only thing that believes I can’t do it.
I found a new favorite breakfast. Multi-grain frozen waffles with raspberries and sugar free maple syrup! mmMmm… for 2 waffles, 1 cup rasp and 1/4 cup syrup it’s only 4 points! Plus the syrup actually taste like maple syrup not some nasty fat free crap.
Food is going well today and will continue to go well! I’m going to the gym after work for 30 minutes of cardio and then my back/shoulder/biceps workout which usually takes about an hour.
**7:00pm Update**
Just finished at the gym! Did 30 mins on the elliptical and 40 mins of weights. Why is it that I can motivate others to workout harder but when I’m by myself I always have a little voice saying “that’s enough, I can be done now even though I have a few more reps to go” I push through the voice almost all the time but it’s really hard.
For those who wanted to know about the syrup, it’s Log Cabin sugar free syrup. It has 35 cal, 0 fat, and 12 carbs (for you who count those) per 1/4 cup serv. It’s very yummy!
