The Biggest Loser
5 miles - My favorite TV show, the Biggest Loser, it's the only one that I try to watch every week. It usually inspires me for a good run, thinking if those people can work out that hard, a simple run shouldn't be a big deal on my end. So my 5 mile run today happened at 9pm. It was a decent run, although not very fast. I'm not sore today so that helps definitely. This weekend is a 12 mile run and I'm a bit nervous to take on 2 miles, but I'm sure it will be glorious! ;) So, in my mind when I signed up for the marathon, I figured many things would happen: 1) i'd have a new goal 2) i'd help raise money for a cure 3) i'd be inspired by others fighting the battle 4) i'd be a part of a team which is always fun and 5) i'd get fit and lose a few extra pounds. Apparently #5 is the only one that eludes me. I think I'm the only one I know that could be running 20+ miles per week for the last three weeks and be up a couple lbs from when I started. Can you believe it??? me neither. Mission: #5 watch your back, i'm gonna get ya.

I love BL! It's the only show I watch now. I am so inspired by them. And good luck on your 12 miler. My longest run is a 10k, so you are my hero!
ReplyDeleteOh and I have been reading a lot of blog posts about people gaining weight during marathon training. I wonder what that is all about. I too decided to run a marathon to help my fitness goals. But I don't like the idea that it could be doing the opposite. I would like to look more into that.
Good luck though, you are going to rock those 12 miles!!
