Too much soda and yuck today. I didn't want to do this run. But I got my shift covered and figured I needed to burn off some energy. I had cramps much of the way but pushed through. I even had a time where I was going to have an accident! I made it home though...stupid soda!

2 sets of 20 squats with an 8lb ball stetched out in front of me

2 sets of 10 24 lbs dead lift

60 crunches on the ball.

9am run--40 degrees windchill33..When did the wind chill start again? jeez!

Okay so I offically called this week a running hiatus. I found my blogs to be very negative and annoying to myself. So I gave myself a break. I still can't believe I only ran 10 miles in a week! I think the race brought me out of it. I also ended my 8 month boycott with the LRS. Yeah!I went shopping...they are the only ones that I know that have these nike pants that I love! I also picked up another mizuno breath thermo shirt. They didn't have womens so she suggested males..it is longer! I'm in heaven. Maybe I won't get red belly this winter! HA! I also got some hammergels and cliff blok to see if I like them. Afterwards I went grocery shopping and stocked up on yum foods and veggies.

A friend said to me why are you eating all this candy you are ruining all of your training! that struck home with me...So I'm not wiping it out...but I'm not going to gorge on it. This week was midterms week. It was the most stressful midterms I have had ever. Glad it is over. Moving forward.

Today is day one of no coke...lets see if I can make it the week!

OH my race time is sort of a guess. I forgot my Garmin...and at mile 3 she yelled out 26 something or another. Either way I think it is a PR for me...yippee!

People were actually complaining about the hills. I thought this was funny b/c I'm like really? You call those hills? ahahahha...I didn't say that out loud. I guess they found all the flat areas to run around here. Me, I like hills!
