Day #1: Starting a new weight lifting plan with Scott, Melissa, and AmberD M/W/F for 45 min sessions. The early mornings may kill me but I'm super excited and so grateful that Melissa and Scott are willing to take Amber and I through this. They both started this program in the beginning of 2014 and Melissa has improved her race times significantly in every single distance. Beyond that they both look awesome and so incredibly fit! I desperately need to take some extended time off of racing (likely the remainder of 2014) and gaining muscle and finding a new hobby will hopefully fit the bill. I'm really looking forward to it. I can't cold turkey quit running...I'm an addict! But I am hoping to cutback a bit and cut out any sort of workouts. Hopefully this will help me move in the right direction with reversing my Amenorrhea.
I will race Speedy Spaniard and Payson Onion Days because they are tradition. But I don't really plan on doing any workouts for them. Other than that I will be pacing for RYR pacers at Hobbler, Timp, and Nebo half marathons and spending the rest of my time and energy really engaging in this awful feet issue. I cannot race a half or a full at my optimum potential until I figure it out.
Saga of my life. :):)
