About one year ago, I saw a special on MTV about a girl who completed a fitness competition for the first time. I decided I wanted to compete, too, so I found a trainer!
Yesterday I listened to a teleseminar by Cathy Savage's nutritionist and trainer Jodi. It was about prepping for shows with disorders such as Celiac, PCOS, depression, etc. I've had some type of depression since I was 16 years old. It runs in my family, and when I'm not on meds, it's very...
I haven't checked in in a while and didn't realize you'd moved to Oklahoma. Hope that's working out well -- what's the ultra running scene like there?
Your progress pictures look great. Keep up the good work.
I'm thinking about volunteering at an aid station for Western States on Saturday -- that'll be the closest I get to an ultra for the foreseeable future, if I do. Should be fun. How's your training going?
Thanks Girl!!! I've got just a little over 2wks til stage time and I cant wait =) I see you're 14wks out..I cant wait to follow your journey to the stage!!
For now...And life is GOOD!!
Yikes...13 weeks out...Its countdown now!!!
Good luck with prep and stay focused!!! And don't forget, friends can help with an advice or support and it's ok to ask for it anytime!!!
Sorry, I don't blog much lately....
Thanks for asking. The race went great -- I finished the 5K in 19:30, beating my old PR by 34 seconds and my time one month ago by 1:10. I ran the first two miles really fast; after that I pretty much I knew I was going to get my sub-20 minute goal and slowed down some over the last mile, but still fast enough to break my previous best. I think the high-caffeine sports gel 15 minutes before helped!
GREAT avatar pic! From the look of things your training is obviously going well. Will you be running part of Leadville with John? No ultras in the near future for me, just the short stuff.
