I didn't do any form of exercise over the past two days. I feel like such a slacker! I even took my son out for ice cream sundaes yesterday. I had vanilla fudge ice cream with hot fudge, nuts, and whipped cream. It was delicious. I'm leaving for the gym in about 15 minutes, though, so i'll try and make it up today. The plan is to run intervals for about an hour. I'd like to try and get a little faster and beat that 27:51 time on the April 4th 5k that i'm running.
Found a really neat web site www.prevention.com/mvm
You put in your current weight and then you ideal weight and it shows you what your body looks like. It's pretty neat.

Longest Run Yet
Sunday morning I got myself up at 6:15 and went running. I even left a good party early on Saturday to make sure I wouldn't slack off. I ran 11.8 miles in 2 hours and 15 minutes. That is longest I have every run and it felt terrific. I am not even as sore today as I thought I would be. My goal is to finish the 1/2 marathon in under 2 1/2 hours. I don't think that's going to be a problem. Having a wheat tortilla with peanut butter and a banana before the runs seems to be working well, so i'll stick with it. I also like the sport beans much better than the gel packs.
The weather is a little cooler this week, so i'll probably be hitting the treadmill in stead of outside like I did on Sunday.
