I spent the entire week with a bad cold and hacking cough, so decided to give my body a break. I skipped all workouts except my Friday personal training, and did no running. I'm going to pick back up again on Monday as if I had been running 2 miles this week, and forge on ahead to 2.25 miles. Oh boy! I really want to stay on track for the Shamrock Run.
I was sworn into the Army on Thursday, and my dad got to swear me in, which was amazing. And I finally got my job and training dates nailed down. I don't leave until late June, but then I'll be gone through February. That gives me 19 more weeks of training and running, so I'm pretty happy about that. It also means I'll miss Hood2Coast and Warrior Dash this year, but will be back in time for Shamrock Run 2012! LOL. I will plan on the 8k or 15k next time. Bought tall green striped socks today for Kirsten, Amber and I to wear. Pretty excited!!
I'm done another lb, 158 and 31% body fat. I'm about 3 lbs away from being within my healthy BMI limits so that's exciting. I've been slightly over for a while and happy that I'm finally whittling away the body fat. In theory, I've got time to lose another 20 lbs before I leave, but I'm more interested in building strength and cardio endurance than I am in hitting a certain weight number. It will be interesting to see where my healthy weight lands though.
I'm also working on a new Hawaiian chicken salad recipe. Will post that when I have it perfected.
