Went to weight class at the gym this morning. Hope to get in a walk or short run later today.
3 mi. in afternoon. Wow- the heat really does get to me! Today was even a "cooler" day, probably in the high 70's or low 80's when I ran, but I got tired so much faster than running in the cool mornings. Felt good to be out there though, with my new IPOD shuffle that hubby gave me for BD. Good run. First time in a long time I fit in 2 workouts in 1 day. Good way to start a new month!
Weight 128.8 (same as yesterday, guess I should be happy that at least the scale didn't go up!) Ate good yesterday until hubby persuaded me to go out for mexican. Ate too many empty carbs (yeah you know it- chips & dip)

I'm off to do hill repeats w/ H & B this morning. Just took some chocolate GU. Want to see how my body handles it- never have taken the stuff before but B swears by it , helps her race performance. If I like it I may use it Sat. during the 1/2.
Body's a bit stiff from weight class this morning- the price to pay for not going to weight class for over a week.
Update after hill session. Great run, took the hills well, felt energized. I think it helps that I've been making a point to get in bed earlier the last couple nights. (10:30- that is early for me!) And I think there might be something to this GU stuff- maybe it was all psychological- but I felt good energy after eating one this morning....
128.4 lbs today. Happy scale went down, but wish it went down faster! Hoping to see 128 or under tomorrow morning.
Goal 119

4 Miles w/ Heather around my neighborhood. Ran into Emily, that was fun, haven't seen her for years! Could've gone further, maybe should have done 5... Legs still stiff from weight class- hopefully won't be Sat. for the 1/2. Getting pumped for 1/2. Friend Buffy comes in town tomorrow for 1/2, excited to see her. Tried using GU 2x now and like it, could get hooked on this stuff. I really do feel more energy after taking it.
Weight today- 127.4 - yippee! 1st pound lost!!!! My challenge will be to keep it off through the weekend and not give myself a license to pig out after the 1/2

Ran Hurricane Half Today. Great run! Felt great until mile 4/5, then a little tired. Took some GU at this point, think it helped. Loved mile 8 (I think it was this mile) downhill, felt like I was cruising. Took some more GU (only 1/2 packet each time) at mile 10, had to take a potty break at this point too. Was tired by mile 11 on, but pushed it because I really wanted to finish under 2 hrs! 1:55 would've been nice, but I'm just glad I came in BARELY under 2 hrs.
Thought the race was well run. Didn't really notice if we started on time, I think it might've started a bit late, but didn't bother me. Nice that they had bonfires to keep us warm at start, could have used more porta potties at start. Lots of aid stations which was great, I had something to sip at each one. Didn't see a clock at finish which I really wanted to see! But had the runnercard results to take which I always like. Massage at finish, lots of great food at finish- chocolate milk? Interesting... I was definately NOT in the mood for milk at finish.... Didn't notice if they were raffling anything at end? My kids were frozen from waiting around at finish for me, so we took off shortly after I finished.
The last 1/2 (and only 1/2 until today) that I had run was 5 yrs. ago. Since then I've only run 5k & 10Ks. So although my pace was much slower on this 1/2, I was happy overall. Looking forward to the SG Marathon now and more long runs...

| Back home from Vegas today. Hiked Cinder Cones w/ hubby. Only a couple miles but steep, difficult parts. Probably burned a few calories. Really need to get back on the running wagon. Planning on going to weight training tomorrow at gym. | |

Weight class at gym today. Kicked my rear. Running w/ H tomorrow. Have taken almost a week off running after the 1/2, feel yucky about that!
Weight today 128.4
Goal- 119-
Las Vegas set me back on the weight goal. Glad I'm staying put for the next month - no more going out of town for awhile! Working on running & eating well! Hopefully will see some weight come off in the next couple days....

Didn't clock the run today, but I figure it was at least 5, but not 6. Good run w/ Heather. First run in a week. Felt low on energy, but I think that's because I forgot to eat breakfast. Overall good run around Washington area w. Heather. Feeling pretty good about my activity level this week- intense hike, weight class, spin class and long run. Next week I'm going to: Mon. Run 5, Tues. Run 5, Wed. Run hills or track, Thurs. Weight Class, Fri. Spin Class, Sat. Run Long (7-ish)

Weight Training Class at gym this morning. Hoping to go to strength class 2x a week to avoid running injuries. My achilles tendons have been feeling funny since the 1/2 marathon. No pain, but just an awareness and some creaks.
Forgot to weigh myself today until after I ate breakfast. I've really cut back on eating out the last few days, I hope the scale will show that tomorrow! | |

| Very slow, easy run. Feeling stiff from weight lifting class yesterday. Was supposed to do hills today, but nervous w/ my achilles issues. Will probably stay away from hills for the next week. But still want to run the flat stuff! | |

4 mile run alone. Just me & my IPOD, nice for a change - good to remember what my personal pace feels like. Too bad it takes 2 miles to feel warmed up and have my running legs under me! Slept in, then headed out a few minutes before 8am. I really felt a big temp. change from my usual 6am workouts- it was hot!

Slept in so it was too hot to run outside. Went to gym and ran 3.25 on treadmill. Good run, faster pace then I usually run outside. But I can't stand to be on treadmill very long, never get more than 3 or 4 miles in. Just happy I started my week off on the right foot- RUNNING! | |

| Ran on trail system today. It was a cooler, breezier day so I thought I was safe to go out late morning (around 10am) boy was I wrong - the heat still got to me. Had to take a couple walk breaks. Having trouble regulating my pace... | |

| Took a spontaneous mini vacation with family that caused me to miss my Sat. long run. Oh well. Kinda bummed when I look at my mileage for the week, but glad I took the trip. My offical 18 week Marathon training starts in just over a week! Looking forward to it! | |

| Was supposed to do 5 miles w/ partner at 6am. But she bailed, so I did 4 miles w/ slight incline on 2nd half of run- alone- just me & the IPOD- outside. Good run. Started at 8:30 this morning. Did better in heat than last time I ran at this time. I did wear lighter clothes and maybe I'm getting more used to the heat... | |
