Feeling guilty...

Day 3 of no running. It was so windy outside today and I just couldn't get myself out the door. Today ends this nonsense. I'm getting up early tomorrow to run.

Did 60 situps, 10 pushups, 30 sec sides, 1 min front plank, 1 min back plank, 50 hundreds.

30 side leg raises (that's going to hurt tomorrow!)

Stretching!

How is it already Sunday?

I woke up this morning and realized my clothes were huge! That's what I get for eating brownies and cake all week...not to mention the awful run I had on Friday. Didn't run nearly as much as I wanted this week but I'll work on more miles this week. I'm super sore from Friday too so that doesn't help. Here's the beginning of a new week:

B: bagel, tea

Ran 3 miles last night in the cold then ate yogurt at the store. Planned to run today, but things changed. Running W, Th, F, S or Sun this week. That would get me a decent number I miles if I can do it.

B: oats, tea, tea

S: bagel, cr. ch, banana, tea

L?: cinnamon bun

D: banana bread, carrot, mac and cheese

B: oats, tea, tea, tea
S: banana bread, clementine
L: cheese and crackers, tea

S: banana bread

after running: Greek Yogurt, then bed.

B: oats, tea, orange
L: tuna sandwich, hot chocolate
D: grilled cheese, cucumber, banana bread

Swam for an hour! 20 laps= 1000m whew!

Weekend run slowwww

I'm sitting here trying to remember what I ate for dinner yesterday and I can't remember. Oh, I just remembered...oats. Hmm, I need to do better on eating real food. I ran yesterday with George so I was pretty tired today. We did the 5 mile loop from SPHS with a stop at Psych. So probably like 4.5 and .5 miles. Think it was about 8:30 pace. Whew, too fast for me.

This morning we planned on getting about 6 miles in before the rain, but Larissa and I were really tired so we ended up only doing about 5 (that's a big estimate rounding up!). Rachel ran with us since she was coming off of recovery from Tecumseh. Good run, but I'm tired now! Lots to do this weekend, probably taking tomorrow completely off. I might go to the gym...swim or weights?

B: oats, tea (before run)

B: oats, tea (after run)

L: bread, egg, lettuce

S: cookies!

D:meatball sub, breadstick, hot chocolate

Reindeer Romp

This past weekend I ran the Reindeer Romp and it was a ton of fun. Once I got myself out of the house in lots of clothes, the snow and cold weren't that bad. I ran 23:11 for the 5k and came in as the second female overall. Now that's not saying much since there weren't that many people in the race, but I still claim "the fastest, crazy 20-29 year old who wanted to run a 5k in the snow" on that day.

5k splits

7:28

7:50 (a little late)

7:18 (add some from mile 2)

Yesterday we ran from the store and did the 6 mile loop- in 17 degrees! My attire consisted of: spandex and wind pants, under armour short sleeved shirt, target long sleeved shirt, black turtle neck, mizuno jacket gloves, hat. My only cold part was my face so I might invest in a ski mask. Other than that, I say Bring on the Cold!!

Today was a slightly less successful day since I realized I forgot my shorts to go to the gym. I was already there at that point and didn't feel like going home and then back to the gym. So I am getting up to run tomorrow morning since I have a date tomorrow night ;-) I've told two people that I'll be running tomorrow morning so there's no backing out of it now. It will be good to see how a morning workout could go.

How have I been doing on:

Stretching? TERRIBLE

Water? Better

Eating? Good

B: oats, tea, tea

S: yogurt

L: stuffed shells

D: bread, butter, wine braised cabbage

Okay, maybe didn't do so well on food today. But in general, I've been getting better!

Here's a picture from the Reindeer Romp. It was lots of fun and pretty exciting to run close to 23 flat. Motivation to keep running through the winter!

Running friends!
