The key to finishing this marathon is a tight core. I have heard this countless times. So...everyday, I have been doing extra....then a little extra ab work on top of that. OOOOOOOHHHH, my abs are so sore. I love it though. No pain, no gain right....right.
We have a ten mile run this weekend. Can you believe it. I AM GOING TO RUN 10 MILES. I am so excited. I can't wait until Saturday. I wish it was Saturday- today. I have always dreamed of running or being a "runner". I am actually doing it. WOW!!!
This morning, I did a few hills on the treadmil to attempt to prepare myself for Nashville. I wish there were some hilly areas around here. I may need to start running in Oxford, MS. This is my husband's home town and the town I can really call home. I was born there, my mother was born and reared there and we go almost every weekend to see my aunt san and my in-laws. So I guess I could bring my shoes and run those hills to prep for the Country Music Marathon.
I am on my last project for my Specialist in Fitness Nutrition Certification. I have to do a case study on an individual interested in losing weight. Well, my office assistant Erica told me that her brother was interested in losing weight and getting healthy. I began to gather my paperwork to complete his profile and get started on seeing my first weight loss client. Guess what! He ended up having surgery after an office visit showed abnormal heart function. He is still very interested, but I can't put my hands on that one. My certification is only for those who are healthy. Only a registered dietitian can treat those who have illnesses. So my search continues. I may use myself. I still have another 25lbs before I reach my goal. I could design a plan for myself....Huh...something to think about.
Wow, 10 miles! I've only ever done 7, but I'll need to get there if I run my 20k this summer! Funny, my mom lived in Oxford for a bit as a young kid while my grandpa went to school.
