With the New Year comes New Years Resolutions, and usually by the end of the third week we are already starting to cut corners with our resolutions. This year I didn’t give myself a weight loss goal or a calorie counter plan as I don’t plan on living the rest of my life under such strict regiments because let’s face it, I love food! This year I signed up for a 10.6 mile run in none other than the beautiful Big Sur, California. My goal thus far is to finish the 10.6 miles with an average of 15 minutes a mile.
The Mission: Finish the Race
The Goal: 15 minute miles
The Stats: Currently 265 pounds, I nap more than I workout, I’m averaging 19 minute miles at a 5K distance. 5K=3.2 miles, so I got A LOT OF WORK ahead of me.
The Plan Thus far: Jog/Walk 1.5 miles to begin, gradually add more distance. Swim to build my stamina, and cardio daily. I’m open to suggestions; in fact please send them my way J
Assistance: God, and friends, my mom would probably think I’m crazy, ha. Through this journey I’ll stand on Matthew 7:7-8
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
Watch me as I approach May 1, 2011 and attempt Big Sur International Marathon’s 10.6 miler race. Share in my milestones, my frustrations, and those days were the only physical activity we have is opening a bottle of shock top and indulging in the seefood diet!
Peace & Blessings,
Christina Cabral
