Patience, the NEW Endurance Sport!

HELOOOOoooooooooo!  Yes it is a GREAT day!  I just have to say that I am finally seeing numbers on the scale that I have not seen for a very long time!  Whoo HOOOooooo!

OK- goals for the week.  BE GOOD!  Run as usual.  There will be a 10% increase as the weight is dropping ;D  That was the deal.  10% increase for every 10 #'s down.  Yoga this week! I have been really bad with the yoga. :(  Not this week.  I will do 3 classes this week for sure.  I already know my treat for the week.  Homemade donuts on Friday.  It is our family tradition to have homemade donuts to hand out to our friends and family.  If you are around, feel free to stop by.  I am planning on 3 donuts.  One would be perfect, but NOT REALISTIC! ;D

Here are the Jawa's!  We are only one Jawa Blaster away from being done.  The blasters actually light up.  My hubby is a freak about this kind of stuff.  Good times!

I LOVE the new shoe tracker!  It ROCKS!!!

The first half of today's run was AWESOME!!  Mile 3 was HORRIBLE.  I had a bit of a tummy ache for the first bit which really chimed in at mile 3.  After a VPB, I felt much better :D  Anyway- my pace was SOOOOO slow, but who cares!  I do kinda, but I'd rather run slow with out injuries!  I'm good!

4.2#'s lost since last monday. :D  This past weekend was a TOTAL victory!  I had NO binges AT ALL!!  Yesterday we even made caramel corn and I had one small bowl!  YEAH!!!!  I feel pretty good about the whole thing!  Sunday and Monday are typically my highest weight days.  Thursday is always my lowest day of the week.  Go figure ;)  Anyway, this week is hoping to be another good one for the books.

I woke up late, I am not sure what my problem was, but I barely made it our the door in time to be back for the kids to get out the door for school.  Yes, my kids get themselves ready for school.  I am raising very independent and responsible children.   Bahahahahahah!!!  :D  I am actually raising children that look a little bedraggled and unmatched at school.  Sorry about that one, I needed a laugh this morning.

I was pretty pooped the first half of my run, but considering that I was not awake, it wasn't too bad.  The second half was fine/great.  I practiced leaning forward and relaxing on the down hill.  I was really surprised at the difference it made.

Have a GREAT day!  Remember that on Saturday, 7am, at Thanksgiving Point we are going to meet for a "Day After Halloween" 10 mile SUPER SLOW Run!  We'll ll be hung over anyway from all of the chocolate and donuts!! ;D

1:02:54, ave 12:34, best 7:28 (.1 mile ;), Laps- 13:00, 13:25, 12:55, 11:27, 10:38

Tummy trouble yesterday gave me NO energy for today.  That was a bit of a hard run.  Hopefully my stomach will settle down today and give me a chance to recuperate.  I am SO glad that my legs are not giving me any trouble these days :)  Slow is obnoxious, but it seems to work at warding off injury!

Sounds like the 10 mile run for Saturday is on.  7 am in Lehi by Thanksgiving Point.  We will be running on the Jordan River Parkway.  The super fast speedies can run further, as to end at the same time as the pokies, if they like ;)  Thanks to Smooth, we have these great directions.  South bound I-15 take exit 282, continue south on US-89 (State St) for 0.5 mi.

North bound I-15 take exit 282 (1200 West), turn left (west), go under freeway overpass and south onto US-89 (State St) for 0.5 mi.

Turn right at 1500 N(Chevron Gas Station).

Travel west for 2.0 miles to Jordan River.

JRP access is just before the bridge.  A small unpaved parking area is on the south side (pull of to the left) of the road. We can meet there.  Kelli said she is brining muffins and I will bring hot chocolate.

1:05:29, ave 12:59, best 9:29, Laps- 13:22, 13:07, 14:11 (walked a bit, search for water), 11:50(rock in shoe), 11:56

80's Worst Photo contest is on!!!  Entry #1

I have been dizzy and faint all week with serious tummy trouble.  Today I just couldn't do the miles.  I called it quits and turned around at 1 mile.  I am going to have a bland breakfast and lay on the couch all day!  FUN!!!

31:00, ave 14:19, best 9:24(trying to not get run over ;), Laps- no point.

Here is an 80's goodie- Junior year (1985-1986) at Los Gatos High School Sadie Hawkins dance.  This is my husband, David, and me.  I was 5'9" about 140 and looked FAT next to that twig of a swimmer boy!  Do you like my pegged legged 501's?  Do you like his Swatch?  How about my Ray Ban sunglasses around my neck?

Now this goodie is at my 14th birthday, pre-braces!  Please note the purple Izod shirt and the TI sweatshirt! Oh, the featherd hair is also HOT!

When my 7 year old jumped on my bed this morning and my gut SCREAMED, I decided to take to the day off.  I felt much better yesterday afternoon than I had on previous days.  I am hoping one running-jiggle-free day will give it the rest it needs to be OK for tomorrows run :)

Don't forget the run tomorrow.  Everyone is invited.  Please check Wednesdays entry for information.  Have a very Happy Halloween!

Here is a great quote from Aristotle:

"We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence is not an act, but a habit."

I typed out the whole thing and it's gone!

We had a great run with everyone on the FRB Day After Halloween 10 Miler!  The Jordan River Parkway was Awesome!

I'll add the details later, I've got no time right now :(  I already wrote it all!! ARGH!!!!!!

2:09:00???
