An opportunity for improvement

I had an opportunity to improve this week...

Mon: 3.5 miles on the treadmill
Tues: Torture Clinic
Wed: Nothing
Thurs: Torture Clinic
Fri: Nothing
Sat: Bike Fitting (does that count for exercise?)
Sun: Pacific Shoreline 1/2 Marathon 1:49:07 (PR on this course was set 4 years ago with 1:41)

I've been slacking on the Core class. It's been SUPER hard to get up at 5am on Thursdays. I think the combo LA Marathon training and Torture Clinic are kicking my butt. I'm TIRED!

I'm happy about the Pacific Shoreline race. I wasn't expected to try and "race" the course but I love that course. It's my favorite 1/2 Marathon. I went out slower than usual on the first half and then was able to get negative splits on the second half! Very cool!

Eating habits are horrible. I'm trying to see if I can change something and I know it's going to be hard. I think I need to give up my red wine and snack foods for awhile. They currently are getting me in trouble. Plus, with work so stressful, I eat M&Ms!

This weeks goals:
Mon: Ran 4 miles (help get rid of that lactic acid-was a HARD run, I was tired)
Tues: Torture Clinic
Wed: Run 4 miles
Thurs: Core Class, Run, Torture Clinic
Fri: Off
Sat: 22 miles
Sun: 40 miles with 2 hill repeats, a short brick of 2 miles and Core Class

If I can no processed foods or alcohol this week.

ok, girl, I now think we were separated at birth, I ran 1:50:15 at the SF 1/2 last weekend :) Far off my PR (set last year) on my favorite course, too. Good luck with final training for LA - can't wait to see how you do!!!
