morning run and new outfit BEFORE PICS

I wanted to take "before marathon pictures" and "after marathon pictures :) Heres my before.
Lots of people say running a marathon is hard on your body. I am determined to actually gain muscle when i am training being focused on weight training, stretching and resting correctly. I want to come out of this more fit than i am now. :)


hey look.. i still have a little bit of a gun up there :)




ok.. so i am fixin to leave on my morning run and wanted to show you my new running outfit :)
more after i run :)

UPDATE:
Ok.. I am back from my run i decided to go ahead and just do 2 miles because i dont want to over do it on my heel. I can add my long run on monday or tuesday if all is well :)
after my run i hit the garage for:
leg extension: 2 sets of 10
squats: one set of 12
mens pushups: 3 sets of 10
bi curls: 1 set of 12 with 10lbs and 2 sets of 12 with 15lbs each hand

the above weight routine is a far cry from my squatting over 100 and curling 30lbs.. but i am offiicially back at it :) will be strong again in no time :) I miss my guns :) LOL

i also did lots of stretching and will do more in a few minutes. I read on a marathoning site that is a huge mistake first timers make is not realizing the importance of stretching... not this rookie :)

ok.. off to get things ready for cats track meet.. then work.. then a board meeting.. lots going on.. but this will be nothing compaired to next weeks double camp :)


its all about progress.. not perfection :)
