feeling proud

call me a geek, but today at the gym i saw one of the ladies who created the tri group i belong to (not the gym ironlady class) this is a tri group that trains during the summer months. I joined last year and it was a wonderful experience, i took advantage of all the workouts i could, as well as any talks they had IE. how to set up transition area, nutrition etc.

The lady asked me if I would speak at their first meeting of the season that welcomes new members. they want someone who joined last year as their first time and they thought of me !! I was quite touched.

one thing not to do before your big race

Do not ask/tell iron lady that you are thinking of skipping triclass sat. am for a rest day since you are running 9 miles in a race on sunday b/c she will come back with......NO you will feel much better if you do the tri class sat. am plus she is running the half she told me on sunday.

so basically i need to suck it up and deal.

today NO work out

- good on veggies

-soso on fruits

-soso on water

Goals for the week

This sunday I will be running my 9 miles portion of a full marathon relay. Exercise wise I feel ok, but nutrition not so good.

Goals

1. get more fruits and veggies in me this week
2. get more water in me this week
3. try to NOT eat crap

Of course i just had a homemade cupcake that was so freaking good that I want the other one. The other one is the one I am saving for hubby, but hubby doesn't love them like I do so why should I save it for him ? Why shouldn't I just eat it NOW and then it won't be in the house and rest of the week there won't be any temptation in the house ...right ? right ??? shit I don't think I have the will power........tomorrow is a new day

Run - half fail

something ain't right with me, allergies ? period ? either way I went to sleep at9pm and slept till about 8am. I kept hitting the snooze and saying NOPE, I ain't running outside with that rain.

The good part is I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill, the bad news is I did 5 miles NOT the 6 I was planning on doing. My hip and knee started to hurt and my mind was quitting on me as well. I hate the mental part of running, so hard to beat it.

gotta shower the stink off of me, then we head to a bday party in nyc, tonight i am going to plan on my workouts for the week. i really want to try and meal plan as well. the nutrition has been lacking....hugely.

3 days of no exercise

folks, 3 days and I HAVE NOT exercised and i am feeling it. i neeeeeddd to run. tomorrow in the rain i am running and that is that.

CRANKY

I am super cranky this am, won't go into the ways but what i would love to do is head out for a long run and work this crank out of me. I can't as I don't have a sitter and girls have stuff going on, dance, school. Plus I have a hair appt to get the grey out of my hair. Grey or Gray ??

Now I am debating switching up the weekend workout, normally i do tri class sat. am then long run on sunday. But sunday looks like rain and we have a ton going on both days. I am thinking of skipping tri class and doing my long run sat. am as it will be nice to run outside. My race is May 2nd so I would prefer to focus on my final run as opposed to swim/bike.

that is it.

If i can't work out to get rid of the cranks, i am sure covering my grey will make me feel better.

clearly i need to stength train

b/c I am so gosh darn sore from yesterday.....lordy lordy, how could i work out cardio so much and it seems to NOT do a thing for my muscles ??? please explain. i promise i am going to get some sort of strength in my week.
