Week 9 day 1 of 1/2 Marathon Training

Yesterday was week 9 day 1 of my 1/2 Marathon Training, which means it was off/rest day.  I have made some adjustments training plan because my right knee has been bothering with such increase of mileage so, I have decided that as long as I'm getting my long run during the week and then 3 short runs during the week is better than running 5 days a week plus cross training. 

Today is week 9 day 2 of my 1/2 Marathon Training, which is a run day, I'm really not liking this humid heat but, I refuse to let it affect my ability to get my run in. 

Updating Bubba's Dx (5/16/13)

We had a meeting with a Behavioral Specialist today for bubba, received affirmation of that he considered to be more of Asperger's versus HFA NOS-PDD and we as his parents are doing everything that we should to help him be successful. Since DSM-V is coming out this month and Asperger's will no longer in it, that a child on the Autism Spectrum will be Dx with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and then level. So, in bubba's case he has mild ASD (aka mild Asperger's) with mood disorder non-specific (they are leaning towards childhood bi-polar not other specific). So for now, we will continue to do what we are doing as far as home and school.

Week 8 of Half Marathon Training

This week has been a rough week, instead of increasing the mileage like I'm suppose to this week, I'm taper off this week.  I will be running 26 miles instead of 28 miles.  I have had a little time to reflect this week and the biggest thing that I'm learning on this journey in training for this race is learning to reconnect with my inner self and listening to my body, which I have chosen to ignore in the past and have end up with injuries and other issues.  Right now, I like after taking two days of rest has helped reset my body and get back out and run today.
