crazy eight

Here is Week 8 recap:

Monday, January 16th: One hour run/walk through Balboa Park (3.6 miles). I felt that I was dehydrated and sore from yesterday's run so I walked more than I would have liked (once warmed up however I was able to more easily run), I then went to a work party and worked night shift as charge. At the party and throughout the night I ate enough sweets to last me the month : (

Tuesday, January 17th: 30 mins. of P90X Core Synergistics Video, then to a fundraiser 'Chicks for Beer'

Wednesday, January 18th: 20 mins. P90X Yoga (Obviously in 20 minutes I didn't get a great cardio or strength workout in but if felt really good to warm up and stretch, as I was surprised how sore I was from yesterdays similarly short workout), Work night shift.

Thursday, January 19th: Rest, Work

Friday, January 20th:  Rest some more.

Saturday, January 21st: 4 mile mostly run/ some walk from Mission Beach to Pacific Beach and back. The day was absolutely beautiful and I took advantage of the crisp morning air but luckily didn't have to sacrifice that for the sun! It was 48 degees when I started running and less than a hour later at 9 am when I finished, it was 62 degees. I hope we have many more sunny San Diego days like this one throughout the year!

At Belmont Park where my run starts and stops. I was in good company
with all the other runners and bikers on this beautiful day

The beautiful view throughout my whole run!
Sunday, January 22nd: Today marks 20 weeks until I run the half-marathon. Starting today I am aiming to run (or run/walk) 2-3 days per week with one being a 'long' run. It's not too late to decide to start training for a June marathon or half marathon, as all of the training schedules I've come across are not longer than 20 weeks. I planned on working out today but got sick yesterday afternoon and decided to not push it as I'm still not back to par.

Miles for this week: 7.6 miles (over 2 days with 2 cross training days)

Goals for Week 9:
- 3 runs and 2 cross training days.
- Focus on hyration and diet.
