Fuel It Right

I'm convinced that Heather's treadmill is harder

Yoga baby

Lifted upper/lower

Legs a little sore from yesterday but it felt good to get moving in the morning

I was only going to run 2 but I went an extra mile. Still not a whole lot but it was enough.

Lifted upper.

OMG! That is all

The week went by and I didn't get much in. Next week I'll rock it... I'll do 8 

TM run. It was okay but it felt heavy.

4 on the TM. felt decent

Lifted upper

went a little faster today.

Lifted lower.  I kept getting light headed though.  I don't know if it was cause I ran faster but that's not usual.

I think I'm going to try to workout in the morning(key word try). There's way too many people at night right now at the gym.  That means I need to go to bed before 1am

TM run went by fast cause I was watching AI SLC

Arms tired and no cute guys in the pool so headed to the hot tub after 6 laps :)

went on the indoor track tonight. I left my ipod at work so they could use it in a video so it went by kinda slow.

Abs

I decided to brave the elements and venture outside today. I was super tired to start. About half way I was running easier but then I got a side ache :( It wasn't the best run but I'll take it over the TM.

Abs

TM's were full so I went on the track which had tons of peeps on it too.  Felt pretty good & the track was a nice change.

Treadmills full again so track again. Felt good.

3 miles on the TM, felt tired.

 Lifted lower/abs.

Walked outside afterward and felt silly for going inside. It felt sooo warm! And I got to see the inmates cleaning up the grounds. Kinda interesting.

I decided to go on the trails up Provo Canyon with my step dad, and SHOOT, that thing kicked my butt!! It was slushy and muddy, and I was a little too concerned about keeping my shoes clean.  It was a lot of fun though, and I managed to keep my shoes clean.

I spent more time trying not to fall over than actually running

My workout today was snowboarding.  I was going to go to the gym but then wimped out.  This is to push myself to go in the morning...

on the TM. Didn't wake up early enough this morning(surprise, surprise) so I went in the evening. Saw La so walked probably 3/4 of a mile with her on the track.

Abs

on the TM. I was going to go 3 but I felt decent so I added a half.

YAY! I made it 5. The plan was to go outside, but by the time I was ready to go it was snowing. 3 miles on the TM and 2 on the track.  Didn't feel fresh by any means, but I made it.

Took a lot of spills learning how to carve down the mountain.. very sore and fatigued.  I think I'll feel this for awhile.

Very tired and sweaty but it's good to have it over with for the day. I'm gonna try to get used to this morning thing.

 Lifted lower

I put my running face on and went... it went well.

Tried to go to spin but it was full by the time I got there so I had a spin class of one downstairs.

 Lifted upper

Went up the canyon on the bike path. Just took it slow..a little itty bitty weiner dog w/ a napoleon complex thought it could take me on and I accidently kicked it, it was kinda sad.

Milled out 3 and it felt fabulous

Inside track and I have to say it was kinda boring. 

2 on the TM.

Lifted upper.  I don't think it will be enough to couteract the ice cream that is calling me but all swell.

I'm not gonna lie, that was a little tough. My shoulders were really tired for some reason which always makes it hard for me, but I handled it and made it 5 miles.  Bring it? It's already been brough-ed!

Good day!  I wasn't planning on running today but La called and wanted to go. We ran from home and past a couple condos for sale. When we got back we looked them up, which inspired an idea.  I thought about it all day and feel like it's the right thing to do for me.. I feel like a weight has been lifted off me of sorts.  I just need to run it past mommy dearest, but we've already kinda talked about it.  Any hoo, I'm glad I went out today :)

Another 3 with La. I pushed the baby jogger this time, felt pretty good.

Lazy 3 miles on the river trail in the evening

I dunno, this one wasn't very fun. Went w/ La. We were both hating it. We had to switch off every couple minutes with the baby jogger but we made it and now I feel fabulous. On with the day!

Woke up to go run and bike with Jos & Michelle and it was quite the almost adventure.  My tires were completely flat so I tried pumpin them up but in my attempt to take the pump thinger off the valve I ripped the valve away from the tube... yes I'm that buff. We decided to take off and change the tube when we were done running. So after running behind Jos for 3.05 miles we tried our darndest to change the tube but I broke the tool... no I didn't learn the first time.  Any hoo, I sat in the car for an hour or so while they took off in the freezing cold... Kinda jealous but then again my toes didn't freeze.

 Yoga to the max w/ Jos

Shoot

run, yoga, warm shower.. ahhhh!!

182 triple action cliff hanger..  I felt a lot better than Wed. but still way tired. Good starting point though. Come summer I'll waste this time.

Got to get out in the fresh air and felt surprisingly well- BONUS!

Another phenomenal day and another phenomenal run 

had stomach issues for the first 3, last mile was good.  I'm thinking it might have something to do with the almost pan of rice krispie treats consumed yesterday.

Girl Scout Cookies...

Just wanted to get out after being inside all day.  Sooo nice out!

run, yoga, warm shower... ahhhh!!

3 on the TM and 1 on track, felt pretty good.

Went for a loop starting from home. I forgot to leave warmer clothes in my attempts to move so my outfit was quite pretty, but it kept me warm except for my hands.

I woke up with my neck a little stiff and sore. Went to the gym and was running along on the treadmill. I made a movement that caused major pain on the right side of my neck. I had to stop cause it hurt to bad to swing my arms. Had Josse scrape it so hopefully it won't last too long.

Went slow, felt good

went on the TM, was a little tired but was glad to be running.

Lifted upper

on the treadmill. felt fab.

Got in 20 min. on the eliptical.

Rainy and gloomy so went on the TM. Legs felt surprisingly strong :)

TM run... super

went outside and got a bit of a burn, felt good.

went up the canyon w/ Chris. Weather was perfect and felt good.

ran with La and baby.  I pushed part of the way, felt good.

Got bored so I recruited Chris to come run with me for a bit.

Started out from home, got about a mile and it started to sprinkle a bit but was fine.  Half way through it started to rain pretty good.  By the time I got home I was pretty much soaked.  If nothing else, it kept me going :)

woke up with my neck really stiff again and didn't want to do the same thing I did last time so wasn't going to go out.  It started feeling better by the afternoon so I went out with mom and she gave me a spitting lesson... I'm still not very good

Started at the mouth with Chris.  I wanted to go further but he was beat from the week, I'm thinking now I could have added on a couple.. oh well

Managed to miss the rain this time, felt decent

Did an 1.5 hours of Yoga X, it was a decent workout.

Started from the mouth of the canyon. A little sore from yoga.

Morining run with La, super tired

loop around mom's with a super sweet hill... don't eat so much before running, duh

Morning run with La. a little tired but decent run.

I don't remember

Started from Will's and looped onto Canyon Rd.  I was pretty tired.

Super tired. I was going to go 6 but wasn't feeling it :(

Feeling it more today. I'm feeling a little lazy this week but I've been so tired too. I think I stress myself too easily. Relax my dear. Maybe I'll try for a "long run" tomorrow.

It was doable. Went up the canyon to beat the heat. 92 today!

Big day tomorrow, CAN'T WAIT!!!

When does it start to get easier?

Didn't make it out yesterday so I ventured out today. Did the same loop as Wed, it was a little easier today(Sandhill rd Northbound). Glad that I'll have a new starting point from home soon, more hills than I'm used to where I'm at, but I suppose that's good for training.

Went up the canyon. I was hating it on the way up so I turned around early and added on the end.  The last 3 were better.

First run from my new place. Not super exciting but exciting enough. Legs felt pretty tired. It was nice out so I was glad to be outside.

Went up in the hills with Mommy. Started at Big Springs Park and did a couple miles of the 50 miler course.  It was fun to do some trails, learned about geo tracking(I think that's what it was called)and it made me want to go do it. super pretty with lots of flowers and green.

Didn't mean to but that's what it ended up being. It would have been about 6.5 but my legs were still kinda tired from Tue so I walked the rest of the way after 6.

Went out to Satnaquin to visit my sister and ran from her house. She lives by a bunch of ATV trails so I started on one of those. I thought it would last longer, but it was only about a mile long. Ran around the town just past Santa, it's really tiny so that didn't take long. I psyched myself out looking up at the big hill on the way back but I made it up. It was a little tough but I'm used to that.

Loop from home. I was planning on going longer but somehow I ended up back at home after 3 miles and decided I was done.

Indeed

Working from home today made me feel really lazy but I forced myself to get out. Just went from home and I felt surprisingly well, it was enjoyable. I give it a tumb and a half up :D

Dang, I didn't make it out on Saturday, but the air show was pretty cool.. Life goes on. Started from Jos's today, ended in the rain. Decent jog though

At best, it sprinkled all day, then when I decide to go out it pours. It wasn't too cold though so I survived but didn't go as far as planned. ed

Do I wanna chance it today?

worked late nights this week so I didn't really get out like I wanted to- Shoot! I tried to recruit a male to go with me around 10 on Friday cause I wanted to go but was scared to go alone. That was a no go(I'm really stumped as to why). Went to the UVM to throw in a little support then went to the Provo River 10 Miler to see my mom at the finish. Then I went out for my own little run. Tired but okay. I borrowed my mom's Garmin which was probably not a good idea cause I'm gonna want one now. Started from home and made my way to the bike path taking marathon water stops on the way, that was nice. Went on the path a little ways past the mouth of the canyon and then turned around and went up 8th N. It's been awhile but I'm workin back up.

Got turned on to Daybreak Tri today so bike and swim here I come! 

Headed out from home after taking a power nap after work. Felt decent but a little tired.  So good to be outside with the sun shining. Supposed to be sunny tomorrow too, can't wait!

<3The rain held off until the last few minutes so that was pretty killer. The rest of it just kinda killered me.

<3The sun came out so had to take advantage. Gorgeous out!

<3Headed to the mouth of the canyon but it started to down pour when I got there.  Opted out of the rain for today and headed to the gym. 7 on the treadmill and 1 on the track.  Felt pretty good but pretty boring.  I need to charge up the tunes again for those runs.

<3 4 miles.. that is all. Went home and changed the tire on my bike and didn't even break the tire lever this time. I'm so going riding tomorrow!

<3 I forgot to look at the exact miles but last time I looked down it was 13.5 so that's about right.  Had to make it a shorter ride(work was calling my name)but felt super good to get on the bike for the first time this year. Weather was perfect and legs felt decent.

<3 Can I get a hey baby... wait, already did

<3 Evening run from home... nice!

<3 I should watch Josse's kids for her every Saturday, it forces me to get up. I was done before 10 instead of starting after 10. Started at Will's and went up 4 then back. There was a head wind for most of the way up but the way back was pretty nice. Struggled a little at first but legs felt good for the second half. It was decent for how my runs have felt lately.

Wow! First swim in forever and my arms felt surprisingly fresh. 

<3 It was a battle with the brick in my stomach, the brick won.

<3 Went up the canyon w/ Chris in the afternoon. Pretty warm, pretty sweaty, and pretty sad to see red trucks in the parking lot.

<3 That's a guesstimate on the bike miles. Went to spin, it was super. Swam afterwards, arms felt good.

<3 Wow! no motivation this week. Josse called me to see if I wanted to go w/ her to map out a training run course. The plan was to run with her but when we were ready to start I knew I would feel not so hot, so I just went 2 then rode w/ her.  Josse always makes things eventful and didn't let down today. fell off bike, spray painted herself and managed to create a scene with bike issues further down the trail... It made me laugh :)

3 poor me miles

Went from home up the canyon. Felt good to get out. I've had nothing in me on runs lately so it felt good to be on the bike and not feel completely worn out :)

Went out with Heather from her house out to the lavender fields and back. Sooo Gorgeous!! Lots of cool(visually and temp) cloud cover, purple and green fields with a mountain back drop... what else could you ask for. We weren't really focused on time, we were just out the to have a good time.

3 from home. Felt a little better than last week but not much :(

Did a Canyon Rd loop starting from Center St. The first 3 were decent, the last one not so much but I'll take it.

Went out after work.  Took on a couple decent hills, the last one took me.

Avg. pace 14.1

Hiked to Stewart Falls on Friday and I think the soreness just caught up w/ me.. unless it was my 1/2 mile walk yesterday. It feels like I ran something I wasn't in shape for so I think I'll skip today

went on the TM to avoid the heat, it was sweet. Arms felt good in the water.

tried a P90 X workout but started to feel an old injury so stopped(still got super sore)

abs 

Went after dark and it was still WAY hot!!

For real

Avg pace 13.6 

went on the TM.  It wasn't as hot as it would have been outside but I was soaked.  I debated whether or not to lift cause I was a little embarrassed, but a little sweat never stopped me before so...

Lifted upper 

dude

Hot Hot Heat!!- Let Me Out... or In

Who'd a thunk early to bed would produce early to rise.  Trying to revamp my sleep schedule and it's proving to be harder than I thought it would be.  Did get to sleep by about 1 and woke up early enough to get some 60 degree weather.  Sooo much nicer in the morning, but I still have a hard time making it through.  I think it's time to take up Jos's advice and get some blood work done... I know I shouldn't feel this drained.

Wasted legs, not so wasted arms..

AP 14.9

1 mile warm up, lifted lower

Started from Gold's on 8th E and went down on carterville, down around Will's and back. If not for all the shade it would have been pretty darn tough. Not as tough as last weeks attempts :)

Started from Geneva on the river trail w/ friend.  It was nice out and the trail seemed extra green and pretty(maybe cuz of all the branches strewn about from the wind storm).  um... I was tired as usual

 Went around town and into Lindon, nothing special but it felt good to get out and enjoy the weather.

Anyone want a Hobble Creek entry??

Went out after work while I watched the hot pink sun disappear, it was super sweet. I could actually breath normally so I'm happy with it. I think I'll try an every other day thing for awhile

1 mile warm up. did my own little weight routine at home

felt decent, leg a little tired.

legs pretty tired the whole time

slow as I go :)

It's motivational to enter my 3's so onward I go.

1 mile warm up, lifted lower/abs

swam half mile in the nice clean water.

Woke up in beautiful St George.  The weather was perfect and went out for 3 w/ Josse.  Easy for her, regular for me.

By the end of the weekend I was ready to train for a marathon.  I knew that would happen.

Brrrrr.. It's cold outside. Went out after work on the trail.  As usual, heart was racing and legs a burnin at a  slow pace.  It's frustrating but I'll get past it :)

TM run after work.  Trying to work on my diet and taking supplements more reg. to see if it gives me more energy.

Lifted uper/abs/lower back

Ran/walked, I was pretty tired from last night.

TM, slowed down and felt fine.  I kept waiting for my breathing to start going erratic and my legs and shoulders to feel beyond fatigue, but it never happened?!  I guess I'll just concentrate on being consistant and try not to get discouraged by my slow speed for the time being.

1.25 on the elliptical

Drove to the gym thinking I would do another TM workout, but it was so gorgeous out I decided to do a loop outside.  Perfect temp! and felt decent at the same time.

1.5 on the elliptical, lifted upper/abs/lower back 

I broke 3... that's noteworthy in my world.  I was a little tired but felt pretty good :

TM, legs tired but it was managable.

lifted upper/abs/lower back

TM miles. Felt pretty darn good :0

Yoga X.. kinda, killer ab workout

2 TM, 1 track.  Legs felt pretty good but shoulders/upper back were way tired making it kinda tough.. I guess yoga got to me over night

gaaaauge is  writing onnnn the compooter... 4 miles on the bike path.  I felt oddly energized.  I've gotten so used to feeling tired on all my runs that when I don't I feel like something's wrong.  I couldn't help but think that fatigue would soon set in, but  it didn't :)  I probably could have gone further but decided to head to the gym and do a couple miles on the elliptical.

2 miles on the elliptical, lifted upper/abs

Did my Will's loop on the reverse.  I wanted to get the hill over with right up front, but I was tired for 2 miles, rested for a minute then had 2 miles a little better.  I had 1 good mile in the middle and the last one was a bit tough.

I'm starting to feel my shins a little.  I think after more than a year, it may be time to get some new shoes.

TM, can't quite bring myself to venture out into the cold yet.

Lifted upper/abs

Another TM workout. Nothing special.

abs

Learned today that I didn't hate a "real" 25 meter pool.  Went w/ a friend to 24 Hour on a guest pass. In the past, when I swam short lanes it was never quite 25 meters and it felt like I was at the end of the lane in a couple strokes.  Maybe I'll get a pass to a "real" gym next time around.

Kinda mostly tired.  Woke up late so I just went from home, eastbound.  It's a slight uphill until Palisade so I was counting on the way back to be a bit easier.  It wasn't really, but I survived.

Abs

Went to get a Sundance pass today, let us get excited for the snow!

blah blah blah blah, blah

TM. Shoot Dang, that was nice(even while staring at a gray cement wall for 30 some odd min).  Would have made it 4 but I was pushin it w/ time as it was.

PM TM run after Jos fed me.  I could feel that I was full but it wasn't bad.  Not as easy as yesterday but still pretty manageable.

Lifted upper/lower back

AM  TM- first morning workout for awhile.  I could feel my run from last night, legs were a bit tired but not bad.  It's kinda incouraging to have 3 days in a row of semi decency.

Met with mom for an early morning run.  We started at the finish of the Provo Halloween Half so we could be cheer leaders at the end of the race.  Felt tired at the beginning but then felt really good the rest of the time.  The race started late so I ended up sitting in my car with the heater on for like an hour.  Turns out it was pretty nice outside and didn't really need the heater.

Ran on the bike path starting from Will's.  Felt good to be outside instead of on the TM.  Didn't feel so hot today though :(

abs

I was planning on running during my lunch break, but before I knew it, it was 5:30 and already getting dark.  I don't really like running from work in the first place, and I don't know the area all that well, so I decided to drive to the gym.  It was plenty warm out, but I didn't feel like running in the dark so headed in for the TM.  It was decent, can't complain.

Ran from home.  Dude, where's my energy?

abs

Went in the PM on an outside track.  It was so warm and nice out that I didn't even care my legs had nothin in them.

Spin and swim in the AM. Everything burned the good burn

Went up the canyon a couple miles and back.  It felt like the end of the week.

I wasn't too excited to get on the TM today but it wasn't as horrible as I imagined it being.  I felt pleasantly refreshed.

Lifted upper/abs

An amazing thing happened- my abs are sore for the first time in months and I love it :)

Another TM run at a bit of a faster pace. I felt better than I have in a long long time and it was great.

Today is Friday and I honestly can't remember how or where this run took place but I know it happened.  I have Friday mush brains today.

Ran from home to the gym, 3 miles on the TM and back home again. I'm guesstimating on actual distance but it was over 4 so I'll take the extra bit.  I can feel that my legs are getting stronger.. lungs also.

woke up like noonish, called time and temp and got excited to bundle up, lazied around a bit, looked outside and got scared by the snow, went to the gym, ran 3 miles on the TM, got really bored, got off the TM, walked to the track downstairs in the dungeon, ran 2 more miles, and that was all I had, walked back upstairs, lifted upper, abs, the end.

I almost turned around after about a mile to walk home, not run.  Really wasn't feeling it.  Had super bad cramps.  Decided to walk it off and see what happened when I started up again.  It took a good 5 minutes before I could start again, but I felt decent after that.

blahblahblahTMblahblah

TM, what do ya know

Ran outside after work.  Went through the neighborhoods around home.  Did the Center St hill.  It was a little tough... I've kinda avoided hills lately and I can tell.  Now to get ready for New Moon :)

Took Brune to Will's up 3 and back.  My legs were dead on the way up but Brune kept me going.  The way back was tons better, picked up the pace a little.  Glad I had a partner that didn't let me stop.

YAY! I don't have to run tonight.. if I don't wanna.. which I predict I don't wanna.  I missed yesterday, I just didn't have the will.  Oh well though :)  TM this morning.  I read in a triathlete magazine and it made the time go by pretty fast.  There was a couple articles about nutrition and proper fueling.  It made me feel bad about my sugar binge last weekend.

abs 

I figured out why i don't like to run in Sandy.. It's all up hill.

Ran after work cuz I didn't want to run in the dark. Ran through Sandy and South Jordan.  It was really hilly and I was really tired.

lifted upper 

Barely.  Started from home. My legs were so tired from last night.

abs 

Started from home and headed for the river trail. 3 out and back. nice weather, legs felt heavy but not nearly as bad as yesterday.

Bikram yoga class early this morning.  Wow! I've never done yoga like that before.  I found a new heat to chase.

I felt energized after getting back from yoga but it didn't last long once I started in on a run.  I felt tired really fast.  I don't think I'll be doing yoga BEFORE Saturday runs from now on.

Started from the mouth of the canyon. Man oh man my legs are tired.

abs

AM- Another marvelous Bikram yoga session.  Can't wait to run tonight, or so I tell myself.

PM- TM, wasn't horrible.

TM in the evening.  I was reading articles so the time went by pretty fast and felt pretty good.  I wish it was easier to read while running, I'd do it more often.

abs

No work today so I was going to wake up and do a morning run and have a super productive day.  Guess what.. the snooze button happened, over and over. Went to lunch with a friend, hung out, and eventually made it to the gym(It was way to freezing to go outside). Bumped up the speed a couple notches, felt decent.

Lifted upper/abs

Early morning yoga.  There's just something about watching the sky lighten up that makes me happy and ready for the day.  I think today will be more productive. :)

Started at the mouth of the canyon. Ran, or rather trotted, up 3.5.  My legs were burnin the whole way up.  Just took it slow so I could keep going without walking. Turned around and my legs felt better instantly but then the head wind started. It was cold but the trade with my legs feeling better was worth it. Kinda got blurry vision on the way back, it reminded me of Josse which helped me keep going :) I need to go get some decent gloves, my fingers were frozen by the end.

25 miles this week :D! 

TM in the evening. I forgot my tunes so I tried reading. Read part of an article about Zola the South African prodigy. I'll have to finish it when I'm sitting still, it was pretty interesting.

WoW

Went to mom's house and ran on her treadmill while watching biggest loser finale.. It was not such good times.

AM yoga class.. WoW again! I'm not gonna lie, I struggled today.  I felt really fatigued and got light headed after almost every pose.  It wasn't very fun and I wanted to leave but I stuck it out.  We'll see how running goes tonight...

Half and Half, TM/Track.  I'm convinced that my mom's treadmill is lying to me. I think it goes faster than it says.  Today I felt like I was going slower and apparently I was going faster than yesterday.. I'm gonna go drink some milk now.

Mid day run from work.  Cold, but no wind so not too bad. Headed North into Midvale.  Pretty flat, some little hills.  I was running on compacted, lumpy snow alot of the time so I had to concentrate on not falling over and rolling my ankles, but it was a welcomed change from the TM.

Well, today is Monday and my calves are still sore, which is a good thing.  I'd be a little upset if I didn't feel anything from this run.  I'm so not used to trails and it was tough to say the least.  We started from the shooting range and made our way up to the "rock pile", not quite what I expected but it was indeed a rock pile... Good times :)

TM in the evening.  My legs were still sore from Saturday so I just took it slow. Felt good, last mile I started to feel tired.

AM- Yoga. I was really light headed again.  I think it's because I'm not eating anything before.

PM- TM....

I was planning on going for a run this morning.  I woke up and felt really run down and decided I'd do myself more good to take the day off..

TM before work.  She didn't know it but I was racing the girl next to me which kept me going until she left and I had one mile left and I started to feel it run on run on.

Met mom and Tom at the lake and went up the river trail 5 and back.  I made it okay but the last 2 miles were hard.  I played the one foot in front of the other game the last mile.

AM- Snowboarding at Sundance and it was some rockage. We went up early and it was way worth it cause there wasn't alot of people for the 1st hour.  It was snowing the whole time which made for fresh powder.  It took a minute to get used to, but once we got it, we weren't carving down the mountain, we were floating.  Good times

PM- 6 miles on the TM.  Felt pretty good.  Turned on the Grey's Anatomy and read the captions for an hour.  More good times.

Abs

TM after work

from home, decent

eh, I changed my mind and didnt want to go anymore

Went up in the hills again.  Ran on the grizzly road up, down and around.  Parts were pretty tough and parts were pretty fun.

TM in the evening.  Legs were a little sluggish from Saturday, but 3 miles was well within range.

Shoot dang heavens to betsy almighty.. this was hard. I was going to go for a leasurely TM run, but I got talked into going outside.  We started at the mouth of the canyon and headed up.  The snow was fallin and, as I looked at the inches blanketing the trail, I was a little leery. But I started up the trail.  The first mile was ok, it was slow, but it was kinda fun running through the fresh powder.  By mile 3 I was tired physically, my lips were fozen and the thick snow was annoying.  I really didn't want to go another 3 but I had no choice.  The way back was easier but my hair was a frozen ball of mess by the end.  I'm glad I went :)

up the trail and back. my muscles are sore :(  the snow was plowed today though :)
