Well, that would imply that there was actually some action going on, which there really wasn't. I'm behind on Insanity and I have only walked a bit the last few days. I also overate just about every day this week. Scary how quickly we can ease back into bad habits, and yet it takes so long to create good ones. I wasn't surprised when I saw that the scale reflected that. I think I got it all out of my system. I went and ran at the gym and managed 6 miles in 59:09 and then I walked a mile in 16:30 on a 5.0 incline. My right quad is angry at me, but I still plan to get my Fit Test in and see how much speed and strength has improved over the last few weeks. Ooh, which reminds me- I need to try and renew Insanity from the library for another 3 weeks!
I know Biggest Loser is the season of "No excuses" and they've really driven that point home, but I'm thinking I may be stressing a bit because I'm realizing that the Ragnar Relay really is happening! I guess I'm still doubting myself as a runner. Thankfully, we have 8 1/2 months to train and prepare. We have our first team "meeting" (conference call) tomorrow night at 5pm. I can't wait to get to know everyone.
No need to doubt yourself! (Though I feel hypocritical saying that, cuz I am pretty nervous too!) Like you said, there's a lot of time between now and then for getting ready.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to do amazing!
ReplyDeleteI agree it can be super easy to slip. But we are not perfect people. It's important ro never give up!
I can't wait to hear all about your conference call! I have been on the overeating slump too, but I think the important thing is that we're both dusting ourselves off and picking up the pieces!
ReplyDeleteI have used the hydration pack for a 20 mile long run and it was great! For a shorter distance, I'd still wear it but not fill it all the way.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your Ragnar! Mine is soon and we have lost 2 runners...ugh.
You are so right. Bad habits come back on quickly. I have this issue to deal with! I know you can do the running!!
ReplyDeleteWe will rock the Ragnar, no worries!
