3 miles 1% incline first one at 6.5 (9:13 pace) last two at 7.0 (8:34 pace) It was not easy but not as hard as in the past hopefully it is a combination of me getting faster and over my cold.
Lifted for hamstrings and then spent way too much time on the gravitron (Teena I said your name in vain several times today sorry!) I put just enough weight on the gravitron to do one pull-up and I tried to do two at that weight then I would add 10 pounds and try and do three etc. (when you add weight to the gravitron it is easier not harder) I am not sure how many pull-ups I did but I can't move my head or neck right now (Oh sorry Teena I just said your name in vain again! Teeeeennnnnaaaa) I am saying your name the way Captain Kirk said Kaaaahhhhnnn in the second Star Trek move!

Elliptical 6 miles 11% resistance 43:06 Getting much faster!
Lifted for arms
Gravitron 8 pull-ups lowered weight by 10 pounds, 6 pull-ups lowered weight again, 5 pull-ups. Still 0 pull-ups on my own!
Yoga - I could do a pose call side crow today for the first time. In the past I have been able to get into the pose but not hold it for very long. I think because I have been spending so much time on my back and shoulders it has become easier. On my left side I think I could hold it all day. this is what it looks like if I can bring in the photo.

I wanted to do 13 miles today with Kimmy but we couldn't get together so I planed on doing 6 before the Christmas breakfast this morning. One emergency after another prevented me from going before the party. Then one fun thing after another prevented me from going after. Finally around 4:00 I changed and started to go out when my son came home, said that he was going to babysit his girlfriend's puppy which being translated from teenager into English ruffly means "mom if you don't want to be cleaning little messes up of the carpet all night you will need to babysit the dog" I took the dog to the park and started to run with my Garmin hoping I could get a few miles in but the dog wouldn't follow. Finally I convinced my daughter to watch her while I ran. I started out all was going well until it started to get dark and I noticed I was wearing pavement gray and nothing reflective at all! I turned around and ran home I could have put on something reflective and gone out for the last three miles but the puppy had already done her business on the carpet so I stayed home and watch her. I guess I was not ment to run today!

8 X 400 meters at 1% incline and 7:30 pace. Was not as hard as last week but still very hard! I felt my left knee start to hurt on the last one but it is all better now so I am sure it was just tired like the rest of my body!
Lifted for quads and back
Gravitron 2 pull-ups at 80 pounds 3 at 90 4 at 100 rest 5 at 100 still not one pull-up alone! Kids no longer laugh at me they just feel sorry for me. One son commented that he "thought I might have moved this time" so so sad! | | Comments(7) |

| Today was suppose to be a 4.5 mile run with tomorrow being a 4 mile race pace run. After I run tomorrow I am going to lift and do a spin class so today I wanted to do my race pace. I know that this will make two hard training days in a row but I wanted to try. Here are my splits 8:17, 8:29, 8:53, 8:39, 8:51 I needed 8:30 miles to be race pace so I didn't quite make it. I think I went out to fast and then couldn't hold it all the way to the end. After I ran I shoveled the drive way and now my back hurts I guess I should have got out the snow blower. | | Comments(5) |

lifted for legs, back and shoulders.
Gravitron 3 sets of 5 at 100 pounds - Hey if I lose 100 pound I could win this contest easy maybe I shouldn't eat until it is over.

Wanted to run 9 today but the weather was a little too scary. I was plenty warm and could have ran all day in one direction but running in the other direction caused the snow to blow right into my face and I couldn't see. I also would have snow stick to my shoes and so my form was totally off until it fell off. Anyway long story short I did 7 miles, I love running in the snow I just wished there was no wind. I felt like I could have gone faster during the whole run and finished wanting to run more.
splits 9:11, 9:12, 9:13, Snow started to come down faster and stick to the road and my shoes 9:30, 9:23, 9:42, 9:55 | | Comments(3) |

4.5 miles with 1% incline one mile warm up and then three miles at 8:27 pace (7.1) I think this is a tempo run or it is as close as I will ever get. I wanted one more mile but just couldn't seem to talk myself into staying on the treadmill.
lifted for back. calfs and walking lunges with 8 pound ball
Gravitron 3 @ 90 pounds 5@ 100 Pull-ups .5 yes that is right I moved today it was more like .3 but I am going to round up just to scare you all with my tremendous progress... so are you scared?
Here is a picture of what I have to do my pull-ups on

5 miles 1 warm up at 10:00 and 4 at 8:30 I had to slow down twice during the last mile it was hard.
My training this week called for 40 min tempo run on one day and then 5 miles at race pace on another. At this point I think they are the same thing because I am training for a half marathon so 8:30 is my race pace and my tempo pace right?
Lifted for bicept, tricept back & shoulders
Gravitron 4 @ 100 5 @ 110 pull-ups still at .3 son banged out six just to show me "they are not that hard mom"....I could kill him

Three miles @ 9:13 pace 1% incline
Lifted for hamstring, triceps, and abs
Gravitron 3 sets of 6@ 100 pounds. The sixth one was really hard!
Spin class
OK here is the question of the day. My legs are shot! The 9:13 this morning felt hard when normally it is totally easy. Spin class was also harder than normal. So my question is - is this a good thing does that mean I have had a good hard week or have I pushed it too far? What should I do tomorrow? I normally do the elliptical at 11% incline and try to get 6 miles in under 43 minutes and then a yoga class (don't even try and talk me out of yoga!)
Sorry I guess that is more than one question! | | Comments(4) |

6 miles elliptical 11% resistance 46:40 It was very hard and very slow today. In my mind I kept trying to go faster but my leg wouldn't obey. Oh well I pushed through and now I am expecting the break through that Rhett promised yesterday!
Lifted for abs and shoulders (scheduled to do legs but they are way to tired)

Yoga - in my yoga class today we talked about this being a time of celebration. In yoga to celebrate you do 108 of something so we did 108 chaturanga dandasana which is a fancy way to say push ups they look like this:
You go into this pose hold it and then press up. We did them in sets of 12 but I only did the first set with out my knees on the ground. I am not sure how much of a celebration it was, but my arms are in as bad of shape as my legs now! | | Comments(4) |

Ten easy miles today with running group. I ran the first 6.4 with a girl who said she wanted to run 10 minute mile pace. It was a recovery run so I thought the pace would be good. I think I pushed her a little to hard though, when I looked at the splits only one mile was at 10 min mile pace and that was up hill. She didn't seem to complain but then I am not sure I stopped talking long enough for her to.
Splits: 9:49, 9:45, 10:28, 9:41, 9:23, 9:24, 9:23, 9:20, 9:32, 9:42
felt really good after the run. legs are not as sore but arms and back still are. I am now helping my 15 year old with her birthday party and then the big game is tonight I am tempted to paint my fingernails blue, but hubby said they lost last time I did that so I better not jinx them. | | Comments(10) |

5.93 miles on the elliptical. I got stuck in my driveway and arrived at the gym late. I only had 40 minutes until yoga started so i had to quickly get in my elliptical workout. It was really hard and you think I could have just stayed on long enough to finish the the last little bit but then I would have been late for yoga and you all know I couldn't do that!

Met up with the SDRR today. I went early and got 3 in before they arrived I should have done four if I would have known that they waited so long for late arrivals. The group only ran 7.5 miles so I did the last 2.5 on the treadmill. Anyway I felt like I was going much faster than the splits show and I am even a little tight as I write this I hope it is just the difference of running on icy road and non icy roads
Here are my splits 8:43, 8:53, 9:16, 9:43, 9:35, 10:01 (up hill and icy) 8:44, 8:57, 9:00, 9:16, 4:30 for the last .5 | | Comments(6) |

| 4 miles 1% incline .5 at 10:00 pace to warm up 3.5 at 8:28 (7.1) I wanted to do four at this pace but stopped early not so much out of pain or fatigue but just because I could... I really need to learn some of those Jedi, ninja or Rhett mind tricks to stay on the treadmill when want to get off. At the time I thought "I can't go any farther" but sitting here I know I could have. STINK! This is just slightly faster than the pace I want to go at painters. I am not sure how I think I can run 13.1 at this pace when I cant even do 4. | | Comments(12) |

5 miles today the weather was great I ran in new running pants and the kept me very warm.
splits: 8:45, 8:32, 8:44, 8:29, 8:38
The pace was not that much slower than yesterday but I felt much better doing it. I think on the treadmill because the terrain doesn't change I use the same muscles all the time and I get tired faster. It could be just that I get board faster. | | Comments(6) |

Race pace miles today I did them on the treadmill 1% incline .5 mile warm up at 10:00 and then 4.5 at 8:34 (7.0) I really had to talk myself into the last mile but I did it. I just remember how bad I felt when I quit on Monday and that kept me going.
