Model Behavior

Jump to Comments

I can’t believe I forgot to mention this in yesterdays post, but my plans to move to NYC are gaining momentum! I’m no longer in a contract with Elite since I have been gone so long, but I have spoken to a friend at Ford agency and I plan to meet with them this summer. Ford and Elite are 2 of the largest agencies in the world so I know I will be in good hands with either one! Bret did a photo shoot of his own, he wrote a biography and made a CD of his favorite drum parts and is in the process of sending press kits to various managing companies. I also am going to try to hook him up with a modeling agency a friend of mine works at for some extra cash while he looks for jobs. We can’t move until my apartment lease is up in February but we are going there to meet with people and look for neighborhoods in July! I haven’t been to NY since I moved back 4 years ago and I absolutely CANNOT WAIT!!!

Juicy Juice!

Eats so far today included lots-o-liquids

Started off the day with some fresh juice! Here’s what went in it:

2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, half a cucumber, and an apple. Gave me just enough blood sugar to get me through my workout!

Brunch around 10:00 am included my usual spinach smoothie and some Ezekiel toast with smart balance and jam. I had an assignment for a class to track my eating for a week and discovered I was unintentionally eating an extremely low carb diet! This is no good for a girl in training for races, so I have been trying to incorporate more carbs in my diet now.

Training

As I said in my last post, I’m working on increasing my speed for an upcoming 10k run that I would like to finish in 1 hour. I’ve devised my own training program for this:

Monday: X train/ weights

Tuesday: .5 mile speed intervals

Wednesday: X train/ weights

Thursday: .5 mile incline intervals

Friday: X train weights

Saturday: “long” run 5-6 miles

Sunday: Rest

On Tuesdays I plan to do .5 mile intervals at gradually increasing speeds. I want to average a 10 min mile for the 10K. On Thursdays I want to do .5 mile intervals of gradually increasing inclines at a lower speed. I seriously underestimated the effect of the inclines during the half marathon. There were several 1-2 mile stretches that we at a gradual incline, and they kicked my ass! In order to keep up a good pace, I need to get better at hills!

My official training starts next week but I did go for an easy run today (my first since the half!) I did 4 half mile intervals at 6 mph, 0 incline. Here are the stats:

Duration: 38:01

Max HR: 212??? I think this is wrong

AVG HR: 156

Distance: 3 miles

Cals: 347

The speed intervals felt AMAZING! Much more interesting than the steady 3 miles I was doing before!

I’m off to enjoy the day! Have a good one!
