What plan????
So the half marathon is about 19 weeks away.
I have been looking at training plans and I am now even more confused about what I should be doing.
Why do they vary so much?
I think looking at these plans hasnt really helped with my running confusion. They vary greatly in mileage, speed, how many times I run to cross training; should I concentrate on upping mileage, pace or both etc etc etc la la la la .......... I mean really, why cant someone just write a "how not to die running 13.1 (yep that .1 of a mile IS important) miles all at once when you are a fat chick" plan.
I would definitely buy THAT book.

Ok so its a new year!
Well happy new year to me!!!!
So the festive season excess has left me with a 5lb excess. I didn't get through it as successfully as I would have liked.
Its funny but this time last year I was so down about my weight I would have just ate more to compensate for seeing the scales rise even more. This year it REALLY bothers me. Whats changed? Someone helped me open a door and close some others and made me realise I am the only who had the power to see things differently and think in a different way.
I am now back at work and working off the excess. It would have been worse if I hadnt been out running during the holidays.
oooooooohhhhhhh Theres a man on TV showing me how to tighten up my chest muscles - wonder if it will make them grow somewhat too?
Anyway back to the running. Well here we are in 2012. This is the year I will attempt to run a half marathon.
Not feeling too confident with my running at the moment. Not really got into a regular routine and I know I need to up my mileage/ training now. My mileage and speed arent increasing in anyway.
Need to turn my frown upside down and do something to keep my interest - ho hum.
