Planning For the Future

Ever since the marathon was called off all I can think about is how I'm going to get into kick a$$ shape in 6 weeks before I start training again. 

I headed off to spin class this morning and got my morning butt whooping. Loved every second! 

I figure I'll do 2 spinning classes in one day once a week to try and get 2 hours of cardio in to simulate long runs (Thanks Yo Mamma Runs for this tip). I know this seems crazy but.........

You have to remember on my long runs I was running for 3 hours sometimes with my heart rate between 120 and 170. So it's really hard to keep up with if I can't run.

On the days I don't do 2 doing classes I'll show up an hour early and do the elliptical for an hour before class starts! 

I'm going to head to the sports store today and buy a medicine ball and yoga ball so I can get my core in check. I love doing crunches on the yoga ball. Ohhhh.......It's burns like a mother!!! 

It's such an awesome workout. and the medicine ball too. It really works the obliques!!! 

CORE STRENGTH!!! 

YES!!!!! 

Also planning to walk 3 miles in the  mornings with my hubby and the kids to the park. Also a great steady calorie burner! 

And this is how I have been looking 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the past 2 weeks and probably for the next 2 months! 
R.I.C.E.(rest. ice. compression. elevation)

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE!!!!!
Next Marathon will be Duke City Marathon on October 21st!!!! 

Here's how the course plays out!!! MUCH easier than the one I was supposed to run on Sunday so lets set a new goal while we're at it!!! 
NEW GOAL!!!!Sub 4 hour marathon for this one!!!! COME ON!!!!!

I'm PUMPED...........just in case that wasn't obnauctiously evident!Maybe someday soon I'll stop obsessing about marathons and running but highly doubtful;) 
Have a wonderful weekend my friends. I know I will. My wonderful mama bought me a family year long membership to the local gym and we're taking the kids swimming! 
Sending love and light to all of you!!!! Pin It
