Can you believe it?! It seems like it was just January, Dan and I were a combined 50 lbs heavier, in bed on our laptops, signing up for the half marathon, feeling like it was ages away, and worrying we won’t lose weight or train enough.
Oh, we’re training.
Here’s a picture of Dan after he ran his 10k tonight. We ran at 11pm to beat the heat: the weather was 80 degrees and don’t even get me started on the humidity.
No, that’s not his shirt design, that’s sweat!!
Our week in Okinawa was amazing, but not exactly great for half marathon training- we didn’t run at all (but we did a lot of walking and hiked!), and we consumed many tacos. And ice cream. And pretty umbrella drinks by the pool. Whoops! 😉
We’ve been fairly on track with dieting since coming home. Planned to run Monday but didn’t feel up to it after unpacking and getting back to work. Tuesday I went out for a 3 mile run and my legs felt like they were on fire and my body felt heavy and full of tacos!
I felt extremely discouraged about running after yesterday, but had a good run tonight after work!
In other news, Tokyo got a new Pepsi flavor for summer- and it’s delicious! Salty watermelon Pepsi! Of course this comes out as I swear off soda!
I will post a vacation update in the next day or so. TO all my new RunDisney Facebook group readers, welcome! Feel free to add me on Twitter @Pennies2Yennies 🙂
Dan looks amazing – the weight loss really shows! So happy for you both. I think we will have to do fancy umbrella drinks whilst participating in the Shumway Project! I did get a churro on the pier, but will not have another till D 🙂
