Ok - I'll admit - I'm giving into the gimmicks.... kinda

So - I've decided to run the half Marathon on Feb 20 near me and I've got a solid 7 weeks to prepare. For those that have missed it - I've run two half marathons this year, finishing just over 3hrs each time.  For this next one, I would like to finish in 2hrs, 45min.  That means I have to shave 23min off my best time.

I got a GPS running watch/tracker for my b-day and today I ordered KettleWorx DVDs to use as my overall fitness program. I'll do a 20min workout 3xs a week on that program with runs on the 'off days' - and my super long runs will be on Sunday mornings.

I'm still working on my eating plan - that is the TOUGHEST part! I am going to take it as far back to basics as I can manage - with fresh veggies and lots of chicken and fish, a lil red meat every now and then. 

The 7 week countdown starts this Sunday! I'm excited - but I know this is gonna be HARD as HEYL!!!!! 

Don't forget that running requires a lot of carbs, so if your gonna run eat some carbs or you will fall into that exhaustion circle.

Doesn't sound like a gimmick to me.  That is some damned hard @$$ work.  Run Ms#1Mm, RUN! 

 YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

What's that big dude with that ponytail and hat's name? I can't think of it but he always says, "You Can Do It" I'm not getting into running but I'm starting my exercise routine because I didn't go through all of this to go back to where I started.
