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
Last week:
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
Friday: rest day
Saturday: yoga and stretching
Sunday: Long Beach Marathon!


This week:
Monday: rest day
Tuesday: run with acceleration drills and cadence drills about 2.7 miles
Wednesday: core work 
Thursday: 3 mile run with cadence and acceleration drills 
Friday: a Cize workout
Saturday:5 miles
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 :

How was your week?

AWESOME! Congrats on the marathon! Can't wait to read recaps! :) And to PR despite such HOT temps (I would have died!) makes the success that much sweeter! Congrats again.

Hi Juliana I'm so glad you linked up with Holly and I this week! First off, a huge congratulations on your awesome 28 minute PR in your marathon! And after a car wreck girl you rock! :) I do hope you can get your car fixed soon! I look forward to having you link up with us again and would love to see a recap of your Long Beach marathon as I'm currently training for my very first one in January and it's at Disney World too! I'm so excited but nervous too! I could use all the advice I can get! Hope you have a great week!

What a huge amount of time to take off your previous PR! That is simply awesome and in the heat too! I need to work on eating well. I've been slacking on that. I like to do crockpot meals, but it helps if you plug it up and turn it on. Yeah, I forgot that one day last week! I am glad you were not hurt by the accident and shook it off before the race start. Thanks for linking up with us today!

Thanks so much! My past marathons have always had issues so I've always known I was capable of more. I'm really shooting for sub-5 at NYCM as long as the weather cooperates!
