Day 67 = Running + Crepes


I was in meetings pretty much all day today. Didn't even leave the office until after 7. The BodyBugg graphs were a grim reminder of this; the activity was pretty flat. I'm wondering if I'm wearing my BodyBugg too tight. Sometimes, it's a little uncomfortable. I had a 30-minute walk/jog tonight after dinner (a low-fat crepe recipe with chicken and spinach that I concocted) so I could get back just in time to watch the latest elimination on "Dancing with the Stars." My crepes didn't look nearly this fancy; both of my crepes broke when I added the filling.

So I mentioned before that I am planning my workouts around a Jeff Galloway marathon training plan. It's nothing personal to my regular coach, who is fantastic; it's just that I don't want the pressure. This is how my week looks:

Sunday: 30-min. walk/jog
Monday: Cross-training
Tuesday: 30-min. walk/jog
Wednesday: Cross-training
Thursday: 30-min. walk/jog
Friday: Walk
Saturday: 3 mile run

Going forward, the workouts stay the same except for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Those workout times/mileage gradually increase each week. Each Tuesday and Thursday are always the same and increase by 5-minute increments each week (I think the most is about 90 minutes). The mileage increases by one mile a week until a certain point and then once I build my base, I'll start staggering the miles. It's a good rule of thumb to not increase weekly mileage by more than 10% each week.

You know I'm only sticking to this plan so I can go to Greece.
