170.8

So I made it through my first week of training. I'm attempting to get back in the shape I was in last summer. This picture was after six weeks of training last spring. I hoping to not have shot guns like these at the end of six weeks - maybe pistols. ;)

Highlights of this week's workouts:
Did 45 minutes on the Elliptical 3x's this week!
Did a crazy leg workout on Wednesday that put me out of commission on Thursday and Friday.
Held a plank position for almost a minute. WORKIN' THAT CORE!
Realized there are a lot of new faces at the gym. And to some of them - I am new too.
My horoscope from Wednesday. Summed up my awesome day pretty well!

Some down falls this week:
Johnny's Italian Steakhouse.
White Wine.
Pasta.
Sunday Funday.
Cinnamon Gelato.
My overly ambitious need to prove I can still do 1/10 of a mile of lunges.

Since starting this blog, I have been asked if I have a set goal yet? Still thinking about that one. I wish that I was confident in my running ability, but part of me is scared of failure. I have this sports induced asthma that is just like the little devil on my shoulder. The moment I get excited and a rush of adrenaline in me - my asthma comes full force. So I have this fear of getting to the starting line of a local race, adrenaline pumping and having to stop and walk some of the way due to my lack of lung function.

With that being said, I can't let that stop me from trying to complete a race. If I have to walk, crawl or roll over the finish line - so be it.

I'm going to participate in Crazylegs '11!
