March 1st!

Today marks the day of a new month.

Today marks the start of the 7th week of our training for the 1/2 marathon.

Today also marks the end of my February Challenge of No Starbucks and No Alcohol. Troy asked me last night if I was going to have Starbucks today and I don't think I will. I don't think I will have wine with dinner tonight, either. For me, this wasn't about stopping cold turkey and then going hog wild, it was about curbing two things in my life that I really (really) enjoy and learning that indeed I can live with out them.

Now about today's run! I ran the 4 1/2 that is on our schedule but stopped my watch at 4 miles. My 4 mile pace was 42:10! What is that, about 10:35 minute pace? I'm proud of that time since the run I did has a bit of an incline.

Now I am going to treat myself and get a 90 minute massage with all the money I saved from No Starbucks and No Alcohol!

    and btw, I'm proud of you for completing you February challenge! I also think it was really smart of you to pick the month of the year with the least amount of days. :)
