It's December!!!! The last 6 weeks have been amazing for me as far as training and fitness improvement have gone. It has been wild how fast I've been able to get my running legs back after such a long time off. I am now a true believer in cross training especially during an injury.

Now December is hear and over the last few days, with the holiday, my eating has been poor, and I don't feel as great as I did a week ago. I slept in this morning only giving me time to do weight training and core work at the gym this morning. While doing my work out, I decided to bring back the December 2 a days that I did last year to help me get through the holiday season. I will start them today and hopefully will keep my weight and fitness in check through the new year when my official Boston training begins.

I just wanted to call my shot here on the blog, because I know if I post it here I will follow through with it.

I enjoyed my first 2 a day.

Stair speed intervals for 30 minutes--4.5 mile running equivalent according to the machine

1 mile cool down at 8:00

Rhett, my eating has been poor lately, too. I'm trying to get back into more smaller meals instead of what I have been doing as well as putting in more miles. My training has been terrible the past few weeks. I'm with you on working harder.

I am going to join you as well. I will keep you in line if you keep me in line OK!

It's a deal Kathie. I read your post on the forum. Very cool that you can use a trainer for a month without charge.

GOOD call on the 2-a-day! I remember you did that last Dec. to keep the weight in check. Your fitness level is amazing! I need to follow your example with better eating and start a xtraining regiment! THANKS for the inspiration! HAPPY DECEMBER!

Boston will not only be sub 3 hrs, but a PR - I CAN SEE IT!

hard core maniac! :)

I'll trade the magic shoes for some inspiration any day at this point.

Great plan Rhett. I hear you on the eating. But its the holiday. You can burn that off quick enough. Great job with all the improvements and coming back strong and ready to roll after your injury.
