Happy Monday and MLK Day to all!
This weekend flew by like whirlwind. My friend, Ali, who is also running the New Orleans Rock N' Roll Marathon came to visit this weekend. I got to see some friends down in Albany and on Saturday we went to see Avatar!
I can't do the movie any justice by trying to put my feelings about it into words, because I was speechless for a good hour after viewing. But I will say, "Go see it. Immediately."
Sunday we hit the pavement early and finished 14 miles in 2 hours and 36 minutes! We were so thankful it wasn't too cold! My knees felt good during this run and I attribute it to the lifting I did the past week. I will definitely be keeping up with that.
I have been noticing that I have been so hungry lately. I am unsure if I am taking in enough calories to keep my energy up. As the race is getting closer I will also be increasing my caloric intake with healthy, protein packed foods. During the 14 miles, yesterday, I finished a whole Power Bar and Ali and I split a packet of Sports Beans. They did the trick and I'll continue to use these energy tools for the remainder of my training!
I want to give a big "CONGRATULATIONS!!" to my friend, Rory from High School, who just completed his first marathon, in Arizona, through Team in Training in 3:49:15!!!! SIMPLY AMAZING!! GREAT JOB!
I'm reaching in on the finish line and I need your help to reach my goal. Please continue to support my Team in Training efforts and help raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!
Happy Running!
