Shit gets real

10KM was awesome, I was unsure about running the "race", about feeling stressed, but I found the rhythm and finished in 1hr 11min 13secs, beating my goal time of 1hr 15mins. 

While this run was a milestone for me (first double digit, first race), right now marks 2 months to the 1/2 marathon. Training will quickly get tougher. 

I think I'm going to follow Anna's approach to posting my fitness plan week by week (although I have a training schedule for the whole of August). Also, goal for rest of July is to maintain a food journal to monitor what I'm eating and when.

Monday: long lazy walk ✔
Tuesday: intentionally lazy rest day with maybe a 3KM this afternoon... Although I've missed my peak workout time
Wednesday: upper-body weight training 
Thursday: outdoor CT+2KM
Friday: intervals (10:50)X10 
Saturday: intentional rest day 
Sunday: 12KM

Next week, shit gets real.

Anddddd, just because
