Three Things Thursday: Sandy-Haters, the New Plan and Day 332

  • Kerrie

1. Sandy-Haters!
Really? Nobody thinks I should go to the Grease Sing-A-Long as Sandy? Not a single one of you? Even Mr. T said Rizzo — but only because I already have her sunglasses.

Rizzo is the slutty, smoking, drinking Mean Girl of the 1950s (OMG, she’s Lindsay Lohan!). I see what kind of crowd we have here. Geez, you guys.

But, then again, Rizzo DOES rock a pink satin jacket…and you know how I feel about fuchsia-colored clothing…and I DO already have those glasses.

2. The New Plan

I am almost done reading The Ultimate Runner. I got an advance copy to review and, because I read 30 books at the same time, it’s taking me a little while to get through. But I really like it. It’s very inspiring and there are some good advice articles at the end. (Review coming soon.)

One of them is about building a mileage base. I didn’t have that before I started training for NODM and I think that may have been why I got hurt. I didn’t understand that “too much too soon” phrase till last night when I was reading. I get it now.

I was not consistenly running 20 miles a week last winter. Maybe 12ish? I’d have to look and I don’t have time right now.

So, I get it. That’s the new plan. I’m going to start sloooowly building to 20 miles per week. Once I get there, I’ll figure out what I’m going to do next.

3. DAY 332
I took an unscheduled (not that I have a real training schedule or anything) rest day. I didn’t feel one bit guilty about it. I’m still sick. I am tired. I needed to sleep in (till 5).

Thursday evenings are exhausting, so I won’t be doing any exercise tonight. I will be watching So You Think You Can Dance. Maybe doing some laundry. Maybe. Don’t get too excited, Mr. T. (Do you need socks?)

But why do I want eat, eat, eat on the days I don’t exercise? I kept it in check, though. All I have to say is thank you to whomever invented thin bagels and Nutella…and Pirate’s Booty.

    So funny, I feed my face on rest days, too. You'd think I'd be starving on my super long mileage days, but no, not really. Can't wait to read your review of the book, I'd like to read that one myself.

    Rizzo is just so much more exciting. Maybe we all have an inner Rizzo that we need to let out???The new plan sounds like a winner!! You can't go wrong with running 20 miles per week!!!! Good luck meeting with your running coach tomorrow!!

    Definitely go as Rizzo! Have fun!I like your new plan. The woman that wrote that part of the book was my instructor for my coaching certification.

    Okay, I have to admit I was going to vote for Sandy, but then got scared that everyone would make fun of me when I was in the bathroom. Seriously though, she's got a lot of the good songs. 🙂 Plus you don't have to make out with Kenickie. 😛

    Having a strong base going into your training will be so beneficial. Good luck building up!

    I'm always hungry on rest days too (like today :D). Weird…And I'm also a SYTYCD fan!!! Yay! My favorite is Billy Bell, he's actually the brother of my friend Tiffancy Bell so it's kinda neat ;D
