I got so caught up in my half marathon that I nearly forgot about the fitness challenge! How is everyone doing?
My total minutes so far is 562. That is including the half marathon, though, which I wasn’t thinking about when I set my goal of 1100 minutes. I only have to work out about 23 minutes per day the rest of the month to reach my goal, so I obviously need to bump up my goal.
My husband has been so cute about my half marathon. He keeps reminding me not to throw away my race number, as if I would! He wants to make a shadow box with my medal, my race number, and a picture.
Last night I went to a Spinning class, and the first time we stood on the pedals, I was pretty sure I could hear my legs groan and protest even over the loud music. After getting them warmed up, and then a good stretch afterward, I hardly have any soreness left today, so it was worth it.
Now that the half marathon is over, it’s time to focus hard on my next big goal: reaching goal weight! I skipped weigh-in the last two weeks. The first week was the week I struggled so hard because of the funeral, and the next one, I didn’t want to obsess over counting calories because I had the half marathon coming up.
I already know I have gained over the past two weeks, but I am not going to tear myself apart over it. I had a lot going on, and hot damn, I finished a half marathon! Hallelujah! Back at it now, with an extra swagger in my step and a medal on my wall.

Way to go! Isn’t it awesome that you can mark that one off the goal list?
