Motivation gets you started, habit keeps u going

10am race start

My fiancee and I ran this one together. He is not a runner. I think he wanted to sign up to be sweet for V-day. And it was. When he needed to walk we held hands. It was cute. He ran straight for the first mile. It had a few pretty steep hills. It was kinda nice to have some one that I care so much about to run with.

Then he became a buttface and ran ahead of me at the last few hundred feet. Once he crossed the finish line (I was directly behind him) he turned and said , "Ha ha, I beat you." And now is telling all of our friends. I thought he was speeding ahead b/c as soon as he was done he wanted to go back outside to have a cigarette.

Next time I will leave him at the starting line--he can eat my dust. HAHAHAHA

Friends of our joined as a couple team and got 3rd place. NOw I want to see how we rank but they haven't posted the times yet. Also, I messed up and didn't hit stop on the Garmin. We started in the back of the pack sto 35 is only a guess b/c that is what the timer said when we ran up to it.

Happy Valentines all!

9:00am run AP 10:22

I re found a running route. I use to run this route often but stopped in preference for the more hillier routes. So I figure I would run this one. My ITB didn't start to bother me till mile 4. I'm very happy with this.

I'm off to rolling,stretching and then shopping/errands with my brother as soon as he shows up!

My SO bought me this gorgeous bag for school/work. So professional. He finally told me what he would like so I"m going to go pick that up.

5 am ellip and 20 minutes of yoga

I almost didn't wake up this morning. I just did not want to get out of bed. Weird b/c I went to be early and I got almost 8 hours of sleep. I still feel a little sleepy.

I think maybe I just don't want to go to work/school today b/c there is going to be a sub today and tomorrow...The kids act differently with the sub. I hope she isn't the one we had the last time. I would say no and the kids went to her b/c she would say yes. And she saw me say no. Which irritated me a lot!

Atleast today is a 1/2 day for the kids. Which makes it crazier. I have to shove all this stuff into the same 45 minute time frame! Yuck!

I hit the snooze so didn't get in a work out. I'm going to a bridal fair tonight with a friend. If I have energy after that I may write my philosophy of education.

5:05 am 29 degrees 22 with the windchill

Lately it seems that 7-8 hours of sleep is too much for me. Last night I laid in bed at 9;30 but didn't fall asleep till about 10:30...and then I was up before the alarm at 4:30. But I didn't get out of bed till 4:45. Weird?

Today's run was pretty good. A little ITB pain but not bad.

Should I be rolling and then stretching? Or stretching then rolling.

I remembered mid run that I didn't roll last night. OOps!

So I know that I went to a bridal fair last night and all but...I swear this wedding/reception is going to end up being in a VFW with lots beer and chicken. LOL and GREAT music. That is my dream...I think that way it won't break the bank. I went with a friend to the fair and she told me she spent 15,000 on her wedding. Greg and I definitely do not want to do that.

We want to move into a new home next spring, and go to Hawaii next summer.

if I had my way we would get married and go to a nice dinner with parents and close friends and then go dancing. Got to have dancing.

any who I'm glad I ran 6 today b/c I definitely overdid it on the candy and stuff. Last night was free pie night at Bakers Square. That was a mistake!

Oh but I am soda free for---today is day 5...LOL

Scheduled day off. I feel all bloated...I won a basket full of chocolates at that bridal fair...and then there is v-day chocolates in my teachers desk. I'm like grrr1 and I put pretzels in there so I wouldn't eat the chocolate. Now I just eat both.

9am ish run. 30 degrees there was a windchill but not sure what it was now. Maybe 25

I told myself that if I was hurting at mile 2.5 I would turn around and go back home and finish up on the elliptical. Well the pain didn't come till about mile 8. And really it wasn't pain it was more of a tightness in my ITB. I could feel it all along my leg.

I came home stretched, rolled, hot bath.

Note to self--do not roll in front of fiancee. he will stare! LOL

I would show my splits but I downloaded and now garminconnect isn't showing a run since Feb 6. I Do think that I ran this one faster than I ran that one on Feb 6 (9.66 miles)
