1/1 x10

So tonight was the first run of the current training plan for the Wine and Dine half(that I pray I actually get to run). It went well. I was faster than I expected considering how long it has been since I have ran consistently and how bad my right calf tightened up on me. I know I am going to have to slow myself down during my runs and take better care to properly hydrate and then I shouldn't have the calf issues. I'll run a modified 5K program for the next five weeks then pick up on a modified version of the JG W&D plan. I'm basically doing what I did to get ready for the Tink which means I am cutting off some of the longer runs at the end of the plan. I know that following it like that will allow me to finish and it will give me a little time to work on my short runs first. It will also make it easier for my husband to start it at the same time since he will be training in the dessert and he needs his long runs to start later.

I'm excited but I need to make sure that I keep my motivation up so that I stay on track. We have a lot of things going on right now and I don't want those things to sidetrack me.

Anyway, I am off to a good start. Once I get settled back in to this routine, I will start adding in some serious cross training. If I want to lose weight, I have to do somehting else because running isn't going to do it.
