Comment on Race Report: Austin Half Marathon 2012 by Terzah

That’s a great time considering all the obstacles–you seriously rock! I’m so proud of you! I’d love to try Austin someday, even though it sounds like you guys may not be in the area much longer. :^)

Yeah, the stupid food thing. I’m just not into it like I am into exercising, so you and I are in the same boat there. Like you, I kind of know exactly what would be best for me…I just can’t muster the energy to make it a habit yet. Sigh.

If Chipotle were closer, I would probably eat it every day!!

No day w/o Chipotle is a good day! :^) I’ve been trying to do green smoothies too, and actually up my fruits and veggies in general. It was an “avoid sickness” strategy before the marathon, but I want to keep it going.

I think the 9/1 plan will be great, as will be staying on the mill for your hips. Can’t wait to hear all about it!

It’s the bodyrock.tv workouts. They used to have a different host and a different feel, but now it’s all about being thin and controlling. However, the old host has started a new workout called Zuzana’s Workout of the Day. They’re good workouts– quick and very effective!

Hula hooping is so much fun! I should try to do that!!!! Haven’t tried in years, but used to be very good at it. And pushups are HARD. I need to work on them more. I can crank out about 10 at a time. Then rest. I can do about 30 or so if I rest between 10s. I need to work on it more! But I am naturally strong with both arms and legs.

What do you mean when you say “the home workouts I’ve been following…?”

Yay for a 5K! I really want to do one just to see where I am, and there’s one in VA where we’re going to Thanksgiving, but I think I should just be sticking to my marathon plan. You will do well at yours–speedwork TOTALLY works. And hills do, too–don’t be fooled by how you feel–it’s a great workout.

I *hate* smoking, too. I have no qualms about audibly hacking if I pass a smoker, especially if I’m running. Idiots.

Good for you for running in Italy! (I ran in Venice, too, with Dan. I was pregnant and nauseous, but the running helped.) And yay for a conversational pace!! That’s a big deal.

Can’t wait to hear how the training goes. But yeah, get over that cold. Stupid colds.

Sounds like a sensible food plan to me! I think my weight is OK now, but my body fat % needs to drop so my times will too. I can’t wait to hear about your 5K.

And I am SO EXCITED that you might be able to come to Houston in January. It would be so awesome to see your face out on the course. I also really appreciate the housing offer…but 70 miles away is a *little* far. :^) I think I’m going to crash at my aunt’s for all but race night, when I’ll try to get a hotel (I fear they’re already all sold out).

Comment on New Shoes and a Good Start by Terzah

Yes, you have to be careful when running with doggies, don’t you? I had forgotten about that. Glad the shoes are working, though, and I love that flying feeling.

I was hoping to go on something cheaper than Symbicort, but apparently if you need Symbicort, nothing else works. Hopefully, adding Singulair can help reduce the Symbicort dosage to an affordable level. Asthma sucks!

Thanks for your comment!
