The summer in Florida is already in full swing. Somehow the state misunderstood the whole "Spring Forward" thing and decided to "spring" ahead to summer instead of just increasing the hour on the clock. Alas, the training must go on as I am now in week 6 of training for the  runDisney   Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-miler . What this does mean, however, is that now I need to be more careful about monitoring my heart rate, keeping hydrated, and remembering to wear sunscreen. Read more about summer hydration here . Even though I didn't post last week about my progress, I really was still training. I'm actually very impressed that between the crafting, weather, and other work duties that I was able to keep up with it.  I'm now up to 4 miles on my weekend long run. During the week I still try to get 2.5 miles in, but since I run in the evenings  that isn't always possible with the heat. Typically, I still get 2 miles in, so I'm good...

It's hard to believe that I'm already four weeks into training for the  runDisney   Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-miler .  I had a really good week.  The weather was perfect for running.  The Tampa area experienced a little cold front which brought in cooler temps and lower humidity.  Plus allergies were better. I don't think I really ran 4.17 miles; my GPS was off a bit.  I think it was closer to 4 miles.  Either way, I met my goals for the week, so I'm super happy.  One more week of 3.5 miles for the long run and then I go up to 4 miles for "real".   One thing I have noticed is my increased appetite. It seems like I'm hungry all the time.  I'm hoping that running more is kicking my metabolism in gear since it is all but dead from my radioactive iodine treatment on my thyroid.   No races scheduled at this time.  There are quite a few coming up in the fall that I want to do, but the weather here in the s...

So it's week two of my training for the   runDisney   Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-miler . It's been a good week because I now think I can do this. Next week I probably won't be saying that. I'm still full of questions, fears, and anxiety, but it's more controllable this week.   I was only able to run two days since last Thursday's post . Last week I ran for a total of 7.31 miles in three days. This week I ran two days for 6.81 miles. Sometimes life just gets messy busy. I'll do better this week. Saturday, the "fam" and I are going to the Orlando area to run the Winterhaven Citrus Classic 5k  at Legoland . We are excited to run through the park and check out all the Lego decor. Fun, huh? After searching lots of training plans, I think I finally came up with one for me - with some moderation. I actually have 26 weeks to train and most programs are for 13 weeks. I'm ok with this. The extra time is just what I need. I still may adjust as I ...
