Fighting back

Tuesday was an OK day. I got through Zumba but I was still feeling every muscle from doing Six Week Six Pack the night before. To be honest I am still feeling it today!! Tonight's plan is 2-3 miles easy on flat again. Then abs with Jillian Micheals. I know for sure I will be getting a few laughs out of Bri since he is home tonight. Kubbi has taken a liking to the yoga mat and playing copy cat. She actually laid right behind me and cat and burpies do not mix well! I am fighting against the pain today with my leg and in my abs and trying to get a good workout in but a relaxed one if that makes sense! Off to teaching my lovely kiddos!!!

Grumpy Pants

Yesterday Dud and I stayed on flat roads and got in 3.18 miles in. We hit one road with a hill but he MADE me stop. He knew I would power through the pain and not care. By mile 2 my leg was all warmed up and stretched out. I still made sure as soon as I got home I got some ice on it. It has moved up to my achellies. It isn't as bad as when it was in my arch.

After conquring the waffle maker for the first time Bri got his chicken and waffles and I enjoyed just waffles and butter. I am not a gravy person at all!!

I decided that I could be doing something a lot better then eating an entire bag of jelly beans around 7pm. So I popped in Six week Six pack by Jillian Micheals.

She won yet again. I have to do this more than once a week!! I feel it today and glad that I can because I always worry that I am not doing it right.

I got really grumpy after the workout. I got thinking about how the dr. said I had gained 10 pounds even with the increase of mileage preparing for the marathon we did in January. Now I have been trying to do more cross training and Jillian Micheals. I am questioning whether to continue with the shot. Hmmmm....so I am wearing a big pair of grumpy pants and I can't bust out of them. Need to call my dr. and get his opinion about whether to stay where I am at for another year or move on. Ugh...Manda and I might be putting our heads together with a plan to help each other out. I am sure my amount of processed food through out the week isn't helping me at all.

Zumba tonight!! Hoping there isn't that guy there...he ruins my chance to booty shake!!

Good Morning

Do you know how much I love my reality TV!! I got a big dose of it last night and still smiling from it. Well it started off with AMazing Race (so wish to do that some day but sure my Nasty SB would come out at some point so I won't). One of my fav. teams Margie and Luke were sent home. Luke is Deaf and tries so hard. He easily gets upset when he is at a challenge too long and is the last team. He cried so hard this time around that even the Indian men working the challenge felt bad. Once he finally finished it the Indian men ran to him and all hugged him and tried to lift him up! I was crying right along with them all. I was sad to see them go because they work so hard. Next up was Kardashians!! Oh how I love their drama! Kortney was one One Life to Live and did awesome!! I wish I had their life and had room service every meal. Then it was Holly's World. Oh did I cry so hard with this one!! Josh, Holly's friend found his birth mother and met the rest of his family. He was crying and so was everyone else. It was awesome to see a closed adoption work out! No soreness this morning. Hoping it last the day and get a run in at some point. Hey Hey let me know if you read this if you are running!!

Long Run Sunday

Well after being a bum on the couch for the ENTIRE morning I was glad to see Manda and Dud were planning a long run. I quickly jumped up and asked to join them. i was a great 6.47 mostly flat with two gradual hills (very tiny when not hurting). Once we got 2-3 miles in my foot/leg was not hurting it just took some time to get it warmed up. I wore some layers so I got warm quick. We finished in 57mins. That is very good since Manda and I haven't done any long runs since the marathon! I'm excited to get back into it and get ready for the 15miler.

I did not eat very well leading up to the run though. Toaster strudel for breakfast and then no lunch. I came right home and drank a whole Nalgen bottle of Gatorade . Bri and I made hot dogs over the wood fire. They were delicious. We are def. ready for camp fires again.

Now it is time to watch Amazing race and ice my foot/leg. Hoping it isn't really mad at me in the morning for doing a long run.

Lazy Day

Today I got blood work done, all routine with epilepsy. Gotta make sure those drugs go where they are supposed to and not harm anything. Love seeing some drugs I used to take in those commercials to call a lawyer if you took them while pregnant. I know I will some day go off them if I do decide to have a family naturally. But until then sticking to the routine and praying that everything stays O.K.
Just getting things done around the house now...laundry and such. Icing my foot again to make sure I stay ahead of the pain. Good thing I have a bit of time before my next race. Dud and I did 1.88 yesterday just trying to loosen up after a hard workout the day before. We ended up doing it at an 8:15 pace. Pushing it for an easy day. OOPS was what I said...Dud said the GPS must of miscalculated the distance LOL.

Had a lovely surprise when I got home from my blood work. Dud came over and brought donuts. I am so in love with donuts!!! I ate one and bagged up the other one for a treat later on :) Self control today!

Got a post last night that put me in check. LeLe reminded me of an inservice we actually had. This is a public post and I am a teacher. Last thing I want is to say something that could harm my job. The state and federal government are already doing a great job at scaring everyone with budget cuts. It is hard to keep your feelings in check at times and I blurted them out very loudly yesterday. I apologize and I will make sure that I am also very professional here like I am at school no matter how frustrating other teachers make me feel. I run to take that all out and I run with family so I can talk it out as well. Trust me I truly believe a fast paced easy run is result of my mouth moving to fast! I love you LeLe!!

Sore day

TGIF yet again. Thank goodness for a fast week. Though my foot is still killing me I made it through two workouts yesterday. I did Zumba here at school and could sorta feel my foot. It started moving up into the back of my ankle by the end. Which to my surprise there was a guy at Zumba. Let me say WEIRD!! I can not get my booty shake on with a guy in the room! So if he continues to come on Thursday I may not go back.

Then afterwards I went right home changed into running clothes and heading over to the ball park to meet up with Dud and Manda. We got a nice 4.1 miles in. It was the perfect run with the wind on our backs for the first half and then running into the wind on the way back. I got to get out of my head and push myself through that wind. I felt great pushing through it all and increasing my pace.

I got home and iced my foot for quite a while. Though it hurts like crazy this morning. It will be an easy run this afternoon with Dud. Try to relax my foot a little bit. I have inserts in my shoes today so hopefully the extra support will help.
