Re: Los Angeles Marathon 2010 Marathon Training Feb. 2009
2/22/09 Blog 5 mile walk
The last three days have been the worse in a long time for me. I wondered to myself could things get any worse? I’m doing my best to stay positive and keep on keeping on as the saying goes. Life gives me lemon I make lemon balls and juggle it all.
Twice on Sat and today I missed my usual workout of Step, Yoga and kickboxing. But as I read in a fitness article, it’s good to mix the indoors with the outdoors. That I did with success but not without soreness.
Like yesterday, I did not make it to my favorite Sunday kickboxing class. I woke up to the most delicous food but did not GIVE IN!!!! I have you guys to thank for it. I stayed strong and kept up with my fruits, miso soup and ate as light as possible.
It was another cloudy day so I took complete advantage of it. I figured yes, keep switching it up - From Monday to Thurs. of this coming week I have a lot of classes to attend and 2 runs to prepare for.
Why not? Why not try that walk again? I was on my 5th mile when Rod found me; It was a scheduled find - but I was hoping I was further along.
SECOND ANGEL CALLING WAS A PEE RUN! I grew up Baptist/Methodist and went to a couple other places. Yesterday I saw the church but sort of let it go…another time another day…until my moment with the “1st angel” from my previous blog. Today as soon as I saw the church I had the strongest urge to pee. None of the restaurants were open so I went and used their bathroom. I decided why not today? So I was introduced to one of the church leaders, gave them my information and we - Rod, his son and I are attending it next week.
After some tearful moments with the person I told her I have to go back on my walk but will be in touch. Sure enough - the exact same spot I met the girl yesterday I encountered negative energy via a young man that gave me the chills. I know who sent him my way. It never fails; the moment I invite Christ back in my life it always happens.
This weekend I went back to basics. I lost 40 lbs walking when I first started 4 yrs back. It was nice to do such a simple exercise and I enjoyed each walk tremendously.
So I am back on track!!!! I got the 5 miles in, weights and 1 hr yoga!!! 
Tomorrow is healthy food fest time! I’m eating 1500 calories by 3pm for my 3 hours of kickboxing, step and yoga. WHOO HOOOOO!!! Can’t wait for it. I look forward to my Monday just like a kid in a candy store.
