I got my new shoes! They are Nike Zoom Structure +16. I almost bought another pair of Brooks Adrenaline. I have really liked those shoes and liked the new ones when I tried them on today. But, I'm tempted to try something different and these came highly recommended. I will try them out tomorrow afternoon on my 5 mile run!
Speaking of running, the bug is crawling into my blood deeper and deeper. I went for a 2 mile run this morning and it was drizzly and misty and I DIDN'T HATE IT! I usually can't even stomach the thought of running in the rain but I did it and survived. I think it made me feel bad ass to be out in the rain (even though it really was only a drizzle)!
The diet is coming along. I did eat a little pasta last night and I still haven't shed a pound but I am trying really hard to ignore the numbers on the scale and go with how I feel. Every morning, after I finish my green smoothie, I imagine I look like Popeye after he eats his spinach. I picture all the strength building in all my muscles (imagery must be worth SOMETHING!).
Another bit of excitement is that my daughter and I are going to run an inaugural Turkey Trot in our area on Thanksgiving morning. I'm excited to run with her but scared! I told her that my lofty goal is to run the 5K sub 30:00. She said she'd be sure that I get 28:00. I told her that would make me dead! We'll see. I am working on the speed and the Turkey Trot is still a month away!
Hoping to finish out the week strong with some abs in the morning, 5-6 miles tomorrow afternoon, abs or 30 Day Shred on Friday and a good 6-7 mile run on Saturday. I'll let you know how it goes!
