10k finish


I did not run last week's 4mile. I chickened out because of finances, super cold weather, and assuming the race was in central park when I had planned to stay in Brooklyn. Not the best reasons, but I do have a Half-Marathon (jan 24th) coming up, so I will have to train while in Ark City for the next few weeks. This is good because it is usually warmer and the gym is cheaper. I really really want to take my skateboard to Kansas but I dont know if I have to check it.

10k time, 1:08:09 yay

Yes, my fat ass PRed today. It's surprising because I've been a lazy piggy since even before Thanksgiving. All of my muscle has turned to fat, but that has to change if I'm going to PR in January's Half-Mararthon.

I got completely off my training after September's Queens half-marathon, partly do to sickness and possibly a little depression. I'm sure I've complained about how I was sick for a month, but I think I was also a little depressed from being laid off- which really should have prompted me to exercise more since scheduling workouts was no longer an issue.

Today's race started at 8, but I woke up at 5:30 to shower and have a banana, naked juice and coffee. Yeah I have to shower on cold days to warm up my muscles. After picking up my number at 89th & 5th ave. I headed up to 102nd st in central park- near the start line. While I was stretching someone said "Christi?" It was Meaghan! I didn't even know she was racing today. It's funny how we have found each other at races without calling one another. Of course Meaghan is easy to find in a crowd because she's so tall. I don't know how anyone can find me.


I'm almost thinking of racing next week's 4 mile

The 10k is saturday

I've been extremely lazy about running lately. Last week (Thanksgiving week) I feasted more than once and did not run at all. Now I have to get myself to finish sunday's race in a somewhat decent time.

Last night I went to the gym for an easy 3 mile. No pushing myself too hard. It should have taken me 35 minutes then I would do some sit ups and push ups. I ended up going for 3.5 miles with a few steep hills. I can't even call it running. I walked about half...
