I did Jillian Michaels Back Side work out today. I could really feel it in my IT band
I think Jillian's exercises in general are very runner friendly. Today i realize we were doing strides (minus the skipping) kinda cool! | | Comments(6) |

Could not sleep last night. Need more protein breakfasts. I had just oatmael for breakfast and was starving by like 10 (lunch isn't till 11:30)
Run was long today b/c mixed in some walking. about every 1 mile to 1/2 mile. I printed up a GallowayMARATHON training plan. I"m gonna 'start over' with week one maybe next week.
If I time it right with the one training plan I'll be able to do both races...I'm just gonna suck up having to walk...hey if if means I can run some then that is what I will do.

okay frb friends...I figured out how many weeks away my marathon and the 1/2 marathon is.
I could technically start an 18 week program up in about 2 weeks on january 31
Soooo should I take a week off to rest my it band? just do some walking?
or continue like i have this week and run 4-5 days for the week with low mileage (3-4 miles per run and walk at reg intervals)
the program has me doing 3 three mile runs and an hour of cardio/cross training for the first few weeks
Personally I think for the next few weeks I should chill out keep up with 3-4 miles for 4-5 days a week. Strength train and elliptical.
btw--i got home and it was snowing...but I ran anyway. Also i thought i twas impossible for it to snow if it was colder than 30? it is 20 right now with a wind chill of 14...what is up with that? |

I'm still around. I ran this afternoon 23 degrees. Felt great to run. For the next two weeks I'll be running 2-3 miles with hopefully a 5-6 miler in there somewhere. Just trying to be cautious.
Did yoga afterwards | |

Verrrry icy out. I almost fell like 5 times during my .5 walk with the dogs in the morning. And it was warm (30ish)
So I thought it might be better in the afternoon. Nope my car slide on the road. So I stayed in
I did Jillians Kickboxing and 1/2 of 30 day shred level 2 (Just pooped!)
1:10 plank (i think i'm regressing rather than progressing...bummer) I did tilt my tail bone in. I think that helped as far as form. I think I was subconsciously bowing my back thus causing some strain. YUCK.
Okay so new CANDY ATTACH PLAN. Since I can't full out say no. I am allowing myself 1-2 candy/sweets servings per day (today I went way over with 1 100grand bar (a mini one)--and 2 or 3 rice krispy treats while tutoring)
And if I go two weeks straight like this then I will buy myself a massage. I really need it. So I'm hoping that giving myself a little treat to look forward to will keep me going strong. | | Comments(9) |

Yeah running! Brrrr cold! Yeah foam roller!
i think of so much to write in my blog while on my run. then I get infront of the computer and boom it is all gone.
I do have one thing-I only have one rice krispy treat today. YUM. I made chicken marsala for dinner and I"m so stuffed I just don't see myself eating my second serving of candy. I can almost feel my massage!
So I'm off to trying this knitting group over at the library. |

2 hour delay for school...-13 degrees...maybe i'll try running after work when it is above zero
pm--still too freaking cold. this is getting old. the ellip is getting old and I just want to freaking run. I suppose the weather is 'helping' me not over do it. but this is ridiculous. | | Comments(1) |

Went and saw a new band last night. It was awful. We usually see this other band but they aren't playing at the venue we go to till March. Epic fail! Next time we will just wait! LOL
My run felt great. I got tired/hungry after like mile 3. I have a lot of work to do in terms of getting my endurance back.
No pain! |

| I felt like a slug on this run. Couldn't wait for it to be over. Or maybe I just have a lot on my mind and had a lot I wanted to get done before 6. | |

I was up like a lightening bolt this morning. My brother had this deal that if I was up we would run 'together'. So we texted a little back and forth. Kinda cool to have a running buddy.
So I thought I was going super speedy. I felt great (the end kinda sucked) but then I looked at my watch and I averaged an 11 min mile. SUCK. oh well.
Gen 17-19 (forgot to put more tracks on...oops)
took my dogs for a .60 mile walk. The brown one limped the whole way but as soon as we got to our back yard she was chasing the others around like a mad woman. She has been walking on 3 legs for about 3-4 weeks now. I think it is hip dyslpasia/arthritis kicking in. |

25 feels like 15 These miles were tough. What is great is that I WANT to be out there. Just the miles seem hard right now.
Maybe it is a good thing that supposedly there is this horrific blizzard headed this way. People are going nuts with stocking up. Kinda funny. LOL
