Happy February!

First things first, since only two people left comments for the magazine, I will send you both a subscription. I'll also check to see if I have another activity log. I just might have one in the bottom of my drawer. So, Lisa, can you please email me your mailing address? I already have Lindsay's. My email is: forloveoffood@hotmail.com

Second, I apologize for the lack of recipes. I am in a food slump. Big Time. We are eating the same old same old every day. I have to be honest and say that my family probably hates it, but I like it! I have not been very hungry--don't know why. When I am not hungry I cannot think of what to cook, so I just print off old menus and go with that. Hopefully I will find some new motivation soon.

Third, today was the beginning of the serious training for the CM 1/2 marathon. That counter is ticking down way too fast! Each week I am going to post my training schedule and then report how I did at the end of the week. I need you to really let me have it if I slack off! Last year I finished, but did not improve my time because I trained lazy. No lazy this year! Keep me accountable. Please.

Ok, here is my schedule for the first week.

Monday--Easy run 30 minutes. (check! I did it today. I even managed to run 27 of those 30 minutes, but walked across the icy spots on the road. No need to break anything at the very beginning.)
Tuesday--Speed work, Strength training (I may skip the strength training since I broke up and shoveled ice for an hour today. I still have a section left for tomorrow, That counts, right?)
Wednesday--Rest day
Thursday--Easy run 30 minutes
Friday--Strength training and Cross training (bike, uhg!)
Saturday--Long Run (only 3 miles the first week, which I am close to when I run for 30 minutes, so my goal is to do it without stopping)
Sunday--Rest day

Thanks both of you! Lisa, maybe we will see you in April. We did find Meghan last year, right before Lindsey went to the hospital for heat exhaustion. :) Here is hoping for a better year for all of us. I also wanted to do the full this year, but taking 3 month off running in the fall knocked that out of my head. My new goal is new PR for half and then do a full this fall.

As much as I hate the treadmill, I'm wishing I had one today. The rain has not stopped, but I could have run miles and miles sitting here watching Dora with Cole. :)
