Some but not enough....

The title says it all. Since my last post I've gotten in 3 more "runs" and 1 core workout. Some progress, but still not enough....yet.

I've updated my "Running Log" to reflect these recent "runs" including going back to last December when I left off.

Now, here's the idea for the next 8 weeks. First and foremost, my focus is on exercise (getting miles in, etc.) and not so much on my weight. Here's my plan for any given week....

At least 5 days (but no more than 6) of "pounding the pavement"
At least 3 days of weights (alternating upper and lower body)
At least 3 days of core work (stability ball)
Fill in and supplement with recumbent bike for cardio

My hope is that by doing the above along with consistent (consistent being both smart eating and also every 3-4 hours during the day) that my metabolism will get going again and the weight will, for the most part, take care of itself.

As of right now, I have about 4.5 mi in for November. I want to finish the month with a minimum of 35-40 miles total and hopefully closer to 50.

As much as Main Street has meant so much to those of us doing the WDW 1/2 Marathon, I think that Epcot and World Showcase Plaza mean more to me. Main Street is not even to the 6 mi mark. The turn around at World Showcase Plaza is around the 12.5 mi mark. As much as I want to visualize running down Main Street USA toward the Castle, I want to visualize running through Epcot with the sounds of the finish line getting louder with every step. So for me...Spaceship Earth awaits!!!

Till Next Time...Keep Moving Forward!!

Sounds like you have put some thought into the next several weeks. Hold onto that focus and don't let go.

Echoing Jeff's comment. Keep focus, you'll be happy that you did!

Awesome!!!!

Epcot is really neat. You are going to love it. And the crowd, it helps when you think you can't do any more and someone shouts your name!!! It's great. I can't wait to go through the castle. It is one of the 2 parks I haven't raced in.
