EAT WELL
My eating definitely was more on track with cooking meals. I made a great pot roast and also some chicken last week.
I'm still indulging more than I would like so I need to be cognizant on what my habits and cues are. I was able to carbload amazingly for my marathon-lots of fruits and potatoes. I felt carbed up without feeling gross which was great!
SLEEP WELL
I definitely slept much better this week averaging close to 7 hours a night. My goal for the last week was 7.5 hours and i got 7 hours and 12 minutes whichi s pretty good. It's a crazy week with teaching last night, class on weds, and a thurs football game. I will definitely need to catch up on sleep as much as possible this week and to help with recovery from the marathon
EXERCISE WELL

Monday: 10 min weight routine
Tuesday: run with acceleration drills and cadence drills about 2.7 miles
Wednesday: core work
Thursday: 3 mile run with cadence and acceleration drills + working the football game

This week:
Monday: rest day
Tuesday: run with acceleration drills and cadence drills about 2.7 miles
Wednesday: core work

Sunday: core workout
BE WELL
two weeks ago was great with a birthday party, seeing Idina Menzel live (which is probably the best vocal concert I've ever been to) and Halloween horror nights which scared the crap out of me! A great weekend but now I'm a bit behind on schoolwork so hopefully can catch up. I was able to catch up-it seems like Friday is my new best day for homework. I am super motivated when I get home and then can relax a bit.
the thursday night football game was horrible (and as you know, our coach at USC Is on indefinite leave for some alcohol issues) and it also made for a very long day but i was i able to leave work early on Friday.
Saturday was great heading to Long Beach and getting to relax before my race. Sunday morning was eventful as I got into a car accident on the way to the marathon-the car rear ended me at 4am! I am currently working on the claim to fix my car so until i get solved, I am carless! I am fine but my car bumper is not. , anyway, my boyfriend dropped me off the race (boyfriend of the year award!) and ran the marathon and PR'ED BY 28 MINUTES! New PR 5:18:53 which is I am so proud of since it was hot hot hot (78 at the start, 91 at the finish). However i did not bonk which was amazing in itself.
I feel that I prepped well for the marathon so expect some new posts soon about my race :
