11. How many times per week do you exercise? Generally six days a week, sometimes five

Just a quickie post before I head to bed! I took this weekend off working out since I woke up with a nasty cold on Thursday. However, I am feeling better now and ready to tackle the half marathon on Sunday! It'll be a great way to start the first week of October, and I am feeling healthy and excited about the upcoming race. However, I have to try to calm myself down since technically I am tapering this week (or rather, cutting down my mileage until race day).

 

Today's work out was a seven mile run. I was going to settle for six, by why do six when you can do seven and your legs feel great and you have nothing else to do? So, that happened, and now I will decrease my distance from there. Friday is a cross-training day (spin & core class since I missed it last week due to dying of a cold), then Saturday complete rest so I am prepared for race day. Woohoo! I am so excited. Sometimes all it takes is a few days off to rekindle the romance. With Running, duh.

 

Have a good night!
