I did it. I'm in. Time to really start training. Right now I'm running about 5 days a week. About 40 miles a week. I think I max out at about 50-55 miles a week. I've never done that much so we will see if I've got it in me. Two hurdles I'm REALLY trying to over come (and so far less than successful) is a good sleeping pattern/habit and cutting out the sweets. Oh my goodness the sweets--I successfully turned down my friend's sugar cookies this morning but came home looking for something to eat and found the cookies I hid in the fridge on Sunday. Yea, they are gone now. My goal has been/is to eliminate the sweets from my house--just not in the way I eliminated them today. Maybe a ribbon tied to my wrist to remind me of my goals? I don't know. Need advice here. What do you do to beat temptations/remember your goals?
