looking back and looking ahead

last week was ok, i feel like i've got the reins again and am in control.  could've done better, but of course that's always the case.

i changed my mind (again!) and i've decided to do a couple races this season.  the first one is on May 1st - a ten miler that's almost entirely uphill.  i did it last year and it's a real bitch - but hey, takes one to know one!  i got some cold weather gear so i can run outside in the mornings and not be stuck on the treadmill.  although, i did run on the treadmill over the weekend and i think i'm actually better at it now than i used to be.  problem always was, i don't run in a straight line, haha, so treadmills were always very dangerous.  but there was no problem on Saturday, so that's good.  A good thing about this race is that there are official training runs on Saturdays for the long runs, so i don't have to worry about where i'm gonna be running and how i'm going to get the miles in.  the downside is there goes my saturday morning mega-workouts, but i think i can make the switch for 6 weeks :)

so here's the exercise plan for the week:

M - 3mi run AM, teach class PM
T - kickboxing class PM
W - 3mi run AM
Th - teach kick class PM
F - 3mi run AM
Sat - 5mi run AM
Sun - teach class

i'm definitely going to have to up my protein, and probably my glutamine as well.
