AHHHH!!!!
Okay, I swear I'm not totally insane. I decided to run this race for three reasons:
- I thought it would be a smart way to stay motivated after the marathon.
- It's for an AWESOME charity. (Click here for more info, and to donate!)
- My co-worker had a baby recently and she's running it, so I have no excuse.
I literally decided I was going to sign up and raise the $200 minimum on the drive back from the Savannah marathon. I called up my good friend, Mike Smith, who's a physical therapist and weight-lifting connoisseur. He sent me an INCREDIBLY detailed weight-lifting plan that I've been putting to use at the gym, about twice a week in addition to running.
But now, we're less than two weeks from the bikini race and I have not exactly been an angel with the work-outs and the eating. (Thanksgiving didn't help either... Vegan pumpkin pie, green bean casserole, and baked mac n cheese are partially to blame. I plan to post about those deliciously sinful dishes later on.)
So here's my public, transparent plan to shrink my tummy back down to normal capacity, and look decent in my speedo.
THE WORKOUTS (this upcoming week):
Sunday - Ran 6 miles, 9:35min/mile average
Monday - Swim practice (1 hour) & abs
Tuesday - TNR (Tuesday Night Run) 3-4 miles
Wednesday - Lift & light cardio
Thursday - 5k (under 30)
Friday - Speed intervals (treadmill) and light lifting
Saturday - Lift & light cardio
Sunday - Run 6-7
THE FOOD:
Breakfast
- Smoothie: 1 small banana, 1 cup frozen fruit, 1 tbsp hemp protein powder, water
Morning Snack
- Honeycrisp Apple (so delicious!)
Lunch
- Salad: Whatever fresh veggies & beans I have, pickled veggies, herbs and spices.
Afternoon Snack
- Veggies & hummus
Dinner
- Veggies, salad, soup, etc.
Bring it, Speedo Run! :-)
