Rude Awakening
So, my body decided that it wanted to tell me something today.
It had been about 3 weeks since I had been on a structured running plan. Trying to build my base and finish off assignments, and eat healthfully.
I finished off my assignments. I guess that's important.
SO, this is what my body told me:
1. Tiger, you aren't eating right.
2. You're legs have lost a little muscle.
3. You're not drinking enough water.
So my action plan is quite simple. Start eating better.
A wise person that I once spoke to mentioned that how he works on his eating is to do it on a 30/70. So basically thats 3 free meals a week. That way I'm not torturing myself on a stupid diet, but I am still eating pretty healthy.
The legs I am not too worried about. I bounce back pretty quickly from stuff like this. Good thing my structured program doesn't start for 2 weeks. I'll be fine. back with even more speed. I don't really have any time goals for my half in September. Just basically trying to build a big base in between, and my major goal is to run a 1:35 half in May again. Which I am sure that I can accomplish with a lot of base training, tons of speed work and a lot of dedication.
Water again, is simple. Lots and lots and lots of water. Easy breezy. I can handle that.
So, this isn't gonna get me down! Im just gonna fix it.
Im glad I got this rude awakening.
Want to see my motivation???
See how many people are at the start line??? Im in there somewhere!!
That other pic is somewhere about 17km, where I had almost lost it. I am still hanging in there though
And this...This is my favorite picture of them all.
This is my triumphant finish line picture!!! The high that I got at the finish line was uncomparable to anything else I had ever experience!
I'll go with Joe on this one, I wouldn't trade that race for the world!
Tomorrow, I am off, away from home for the rest of the summer. Im so excited.
Love you mom!!
Take care guys, Ill keep you updated and will continue to follow your blogs!

Some down time after your race is just what you needed! You will be bounce back like a star! Have a great summer :-)
Those pictures ARE motivational! Gosh, a 1:35 half is going to be a challenge, but the way you smartly train it is definitely doable!
Nice photos.
