Hey Guys... I'm not going to say a word about these constant "restarts". I'm just moving on, haha.
Today went pretty well. I was able to put in a 3 miler with 14:54 as my slowest mile and 11:48 as my fastest. I think I'm beginning to increase my stanima as it doesn't take me nearly as much to push myself to running. I'm actually starting to enjoy it again.
Even though my running is going well, my gym visits are not. It seems that when I excell at one thing, I totally fail at another. I haven't been to the gym in over a week and a half. There aren't any excuses for that, I just haven't been motivated to workout. Hopefully that will change in the coming days and I'll get back to doing both running and working out.
It's time for a new pair of shoes. My Shox have had it. Actually they have had it for quite some time now. So, my Aunt and I are headed up to the Fleet Feet in Jackson to see what we can find. We're going to let "the experts" find me the right shoe since I never thought my old pair were right for me. We also want to get them now so I can break them in before Disneyland. Hopefully with a new pair, they'll help me increase my time.
Well that's it for me. How's everyone else?

Ok... New Game Plan
Hi guys. By now, I'm sure all of you have heard about the tragic accident at Disney this week, so I won't get into that other than to say that my thoughts and prayers are with Austin's family and friends.
Ok, now on to my "see see what happen was..." moment....
As you probably remember, I said that I was going to start publishing trip reports today. Well as usual, I've decided to put it off for a little while. I don't have any pictures right now to add to the reports because my camera is on the fritz. My aunt has a lot of good pictures that I can use, but I have to get them. I should have them in a few days. So, when I get them, I'll start posting a day by day report along with my training updates. That way it will give you guys something to read other than my pointless babel on what I did at the gym and the park that day.
So be patient. The trip reports are coming! Tomorrow will be the race report, I hope....
For the most part, everything is well on the weight training front. I hit the gym pretty hard everyday last week and today, but I'm doing hardly any cardio and absolutely no running. That all changes tomorrow.
I've set up a new "Get Your Rear in Gear" marathon training plan. On this plan I go to the gym twice a day (once for cardio and once for weights... makes it easier on me) and to the park once in the morning. Here's a Sample of my plan:
Monday- Run 5 miles, 30 min on the Elliptical, 10 min on Stairmaster and Arms
Tuesday- Run 3 miles, 30 min on the Bike, 10 on Arm Bike and Chest
Wednesday- Run 6 miles, 30 on Elliptical, 10 on Stairmaster and Back and Shoulders
Thursday- Run 5 miles, 30 on Bike, 10 on Arm Bike and Arms
Friday- Run 2 miles, 30 on Elliptical, 10 on Stairmaster and Chest
Saturday- "Long Run" (depends on weekly goal) and Back and Shoulders
I take a break on Sunday, and do a different ab/oblique exercise everyday. Of course this plan will very from week to week. Like this week, I didn't do it other than the weights, but I'll pick it up tomorrow.
I have GOT to get my ass out there and running. I've only got 62 days before the Disneyland Half and I REFUSE to go on my first trip to Southern California as a fatassed Mississippian (again, WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WOOHOO!!! Oh wait....). I hate to fit into stereotypes. I really do.

Ok... I'm Back...
... At least I hope I'm back. Again, I apologize for being such a bad Disney person lately. But I as of now, I am trying my very best to get back into the swing of things. I've been reading blogs, catching up on podcasts, and even visting the forums. Let's see if I can keep it up.
My plan for the blog is goes like this (we all know how I am with plans... fingers crossed):
Tomorrow, I want to put up my very late review of my last race. I had alot to say about it, but I've forgotten alot of it. Maybe I can recover some of my memories. I can at least post pictures if all else fails.
Then on the next day, I'm going to put up some reviews from my last Disney trip. Be forwarned... I really did not enjoy this trip as much as I normally do. Don't get me wrong, I had fun, but... well I'll get into that later.
Then starting on Monday, I'm hitting the training hard again, so I'll start posting my regular updates again.
Well that's it for tonight. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here. Hope you guys haven't bailed on me, haha! See you soon.
