46 Days

I successfully completed 46 days...er.. make that 45 days of lent! I say 45 because I had a few glasses of champagne at my Hall of Fame Banquet this past March to celebrate a successful evening. Other than that, I was able to abstain from coffee, tee, alcohol, soda, juice, milk, gatorade, milkshakes........ you name it.

I had my first coffee yesterday morning on my way to Church. I should have known better than to have drank a 20 oz my first time back in the game. I was WIRED the entire day, which was a huge benefit when I decided to run 5 miles downtown.

Today I attempted to drink a soda with lunch, but desperately wanted water instead. Maybe I don't hate water as much as I thought I did.

I leave Friday evening for my 1/2 marathon in Cincinnati. I'll be very excited when everything is said and done. I'm considering training for a mini triathlon but will have to look into various events for more information. I'm definitely starting a running club though when I get back from my race. Hoping this will build our group of friends and give us a healthy activity to do rather than go out all the time.

My goal is to finish the 13.1 miles in 2:45... lets see if it happens :)
