All Things in Moderation

I'm back from my blogging sabbatical. I had a blog update on my "to-do" list for about 2 weeks now...but it never seemed to float to the top of the list.

I've been trying to experiment a little in my workout routine and I think I've found a nice place relative to my other commitment in life (for now.) Here is my set-up...

2-30 min weight training workouts (same exercises as 12WC HD sessions)
2 -30 min yoga workouts (this is new and outside the box for me...but I've been enjoying it)
2 -running workouts (1 long run which last 1hr-2hrs and 1 speed work of less than 30 min)
2 -Bike workouts (1 short ride bricked with running and 1 hour long cadence push on the bike trainer or spinner.)
*no swimming until I find a really warm pool.

Total workout time per week: 5-6 hours per week

Food is going well...however I do have a birthday coming up...which means I could see an influx of M&M's from mean mean clients. Last year I gave about 4 lbs of M&M's to Cowboy Jeff...thanks Linda and Kim. ; ) We'll see.

I've signed up for the White Rock Half Marathon in Dallas and hope to cut some serious time off from my last half marathon. I finished my last 13.1 at an average pace of 9:01 per mile. I ran 9 miles this weekend at an average pace of 7:58. I'm flirting with the idea of shooting for a similar pace for the half marathon, that still seems really fast to me. If I can manage that pace, that will be a reduction in overall time by around 12 minutes...which would be really sweet. I'm only running twice a week...so my expectations probably need to be tempered a bit.
