Long Overdue Blog post!

So, I have not written in a long time so there are many updates. First off, unfortunately, I was sick last week, as indicated in my previous blog post, so my training schedule has been a bit off. When I was not feeling up to running I did my pure barre class and yoga; however, these exercises are not really going to help me with my half marathon. Although I am already supposed to be running four miles (pretty easily) I decided that I would continue to run three miles this week. At first this was still a bit difficult for me; however, yesterday was the first time that this exercise started to become easy. My friend, Carleigh, and I decided that we are way too focused on the time and the amount of miles we have ran while running on the treadmill. I did pure barre this morning, so I am not going to go to the gym today; however, I have plans to go to the gym tomorrow. When I go tomorrow I am going to block the time and miles on the treadmill with a towel, so they cannot be seen. Consequently, I will run based on how my body is feeling rather than the actual time or the amount of miles I am running. It will be interesting to see how many miles I will be able to run based on doing this strategy. I will be sure to let you all know! I am definitely nervous about my running schedule during spring break, but hopefully I will still be able to workout. I am going to California with my best friend, Breanna, for spring break, and although we plan on working out throughout our week there we also have many fun plans- (thus running is not really top of my 'priority list.') Bye for now! :)
