Race and Training update

I wanted to give you all an update about my race schedule and where I am on my training. My training has been going well. I have been running/walking using the Zombies, Run! 5K Training app and have just finished with week 2. I am moving on to week 2.5. Basically I have created a 5K training program that takes almost 50 weeks instead of 8 weeks. I wanted to do this because of my history of injury. So week 2.5 is using another app to move from 30 sec of running to 45 seconds of running.

I had an awesome goal hit last month. During the month of November, I ran, swam and biked 100.8 miles and last night I started the month off with a Kettlebell workout. My legs are SORE! I am looking forward to the move up in run time though and have a race upcoming. It will still fall into my 5K training, but it'll feel good to finally get back out there and race again. I will be running/walking in the Hot Chocolate 5K. It will be Saturday, December 15th. I am looking forward to it and will do a race recap after the race is over.

As far as my weight loss goes, I believe that I am having a harder time with Thanksgiving and too much turkey and salty foods. I have not lost a single pound. In fact I think I have gained a couple of pounds back. I last weighed in at 266, but I think that I am nearer to 268. I would love to go the other direction to 264 by the end of this week. I am going to have to be much more disciplined to get there but I know that I can do it.
