Starting over. It look 60 days but I hit the wall. I didn't work out the last few days of last week and on top of that I didn't blog either. But I'm past that.
I've looked up some marathon training plans and I think I'm going to an additional day to my running plan. I'm going to do 1 mile T,W,Th with 2 miles on Saturday or Sunday. I'm going to try and slow it down some by only going up .5 miles every other week. That'll put me around where I need to be by the first of June hopefully. I'm hoping this will be slow enough to get me to where I need to get. I honestly can't get any slower if I need to be running 3-4 miles by the first of June. If this doesn't work out I'm going to have to rethink my marathon.
I've decided to overhaul my diet for a short-term sprint. I can't "live" on a diet where I eat the same thing every meal for weeks and weeks but I can lose alot of weight on that and I think that's the best think for me. I'm going to target somewhere around 2000 calories per day and stamp that meal out over and over again till the first of June. Hopefully if I can lose a chunk of weight before June it'll help my overall running effort. I've done a strict diet like this before and had good results, but 3 months in I crashed. I'm hoping to get about 2 months out of this diet before I ease off it somewhat in order to train for my marathon and get some more energy.
I'm not giving up on P90x either. Today wasn't the best workout but it got done. Tomorrow is suppossed to be Plometrics, but I think I'm going to sub it out for Cardio X. Because I'm going to be running tomorrow I just figured that the extra high impact exercise was something to replace as a precaution.
I took pictures for my 60 day. I haven't looked at them.
Less than 30 days remaining. I think I've turned the corner. Although I thought that last week. If we can make it this week with no missed workouts I think I'll be back on course.
