i used to be simply dreading seeing it, because of the problem with the pix. Jerry bought the paper on his way home, and i nearly did not need to look. but i am glad I did, because the picture wasn't nearly as awful as I pictured it to be!
I skimmed the thing quickly, hoping that it became accurate--then I went back and re-examine everything slowly. i'm inspired that the statistics are (broadly speaking) accurate, and i am very happy that the tale focuses more on my group than on me. despite what people might imagine, due to my very public blog, I hate having interest drawn to me. i'm shy, and personal, and having this tale on the the front page of the newspaper surely terrified me. (I think the name of the tale could be very ironic).
This newspaper actually wrote a story on my look at the Dr. oz.show closing year, and that was additionally ginormous on the the front page. So i was specially fearful about being inside the paper again; that humans would suppose that i'm simply after interest.
My Ragnar group appeared to definitely like the article, which was the most critical part to me. And as a bonus, i'm able to think twice before shopping for masses of junk food, due to the possibility of a person spotting me as "the lady who lost weight and turned into in the paper". I can be aware of that anywhere i am going now ;)
the object isn't on-line, so I took a photograph of it. it will likely be hard to read unless you increase it (just click on the image to extend).
over the past couple of days, i have been looking to provide you with a strain-less plan for next 12 months. This year, I did too much, and it prompted me to strain out loads (I ran quite a few races, together with two complete-marathons! And each time I traveled someplace, it become for a race).
subsequent yr, I need to do the opposite. (nicely, after Key West, of direction!) i'm most effective going to choose 2-three races which are important to me, educate for them properly (without more races thrown in "simply because"), and even take a experience without walking a race. i've decided now not to run my loved Indy Mini-Marathon in 2013. If I do a spring race, it will be nearby. I may also pick out a half of-marathon inside the fall to do somewhere on location (perhaps the Monster sprint in MN with my brother).
i've also been trying to move go to my excellent buddy Sarah in Arizona. She simply had a baby lately, and i would like to head spend time with her (with out also doing a race). So next 12 months might be very low-key as far as racing. i am going to cut my weekly mileage quite a bit after the marathon subsequent month, and move lower back to the mileage that is at ease for me--about 12-15 miles per week.
all of the pressure from this yr has been attending to me, and that i experience like it's all coming to a head. After my marathon, i'm able to sense a lot comfort. i have done all of the training, so not running the race is not an choice; but I might be relieved while it is over, and my longest run from there on out might be 13.1 miles!
