Weekly review: Week of Feb 19th

The personal training is going along fantastically. I really, really love it. My trainer often says things like, "Since you're an athlete, I want you to know why we're doing this exercise."

I can't help but snort and chortle just a little bit when he says the word "athlete." I still have a very hard time thinking of myself as a "athlete." I run, sure. I even run really damn long distances once in awhile. But an athlete? Me running does not quite =athlete in my brain.

I am noticing an immediate change in some of the muscles in my body. My hamstrings especially are starting to build up. My biceps have just a little more definition. I love these physical changes and I can't wait to see how that translates into making me a better, stronger runner. For now, I'll just appreciate the approving glances from the Hubs.

So, my week in review? Here goes:

M-3
Tues- 1 hr personal training
Wed-2, cut short by a screaming toddler. That was fun (not!)
Thur-3
Fri-1 hr personal training
Sat-off
Sun-6
Total: 14

Woohoo! I broke the 10 mile barrier. My shins are responding well so, as of today, right now, right this very second, it is a green light for the half marathon on March 18th. Woot!
