I have been very frustrated by the slowness of my paces. They seem to be getting slower and slower. I had a bit of a reality check with myself this evening. My #1 focus right now is building my mileage and losing weight. Once my mileage is comfortably between 40-50 miles a week and I have lost about 20 more lbs, then I will get focused on speed. For now, I am going to add a 3 mile mini tempo run a week in the middle of a 5 mile run. Basically for 3 miles I will hold an 11 min pace. I know I can do this, because I have done it before. I am really going to focus on the mileage increases and how great that is. Oh yeah, and the weight loss too ;) I just want to get to 40-50 miles a week without injury, which means slow and steady :) Patience is not one of my finer attributes!
Have a GREAT week everyone!!! I sure can't express how much your support means to me :D | | Comments(5) |

Oh what a beautiful morning! I love that it is not pitch black at 6:20 AM! Halleluiah! There was a bit of snow on top of our little burnt up mountain this morning. The coolest part was when I turned around and saw Timp. It was covered with snow and brilliant with the sun just lighting the back edges and little lines of pink clouds hovering on the summit. Today is going to be a GREAT day ;) It was 49 degrees. One long sleeve shirt, nylon pants, ear muff, gaiter and gloves were perfect. My goal was to have negative splits. I am feeling much better so far this week! Hope it lasts!!!
Have an amazing day everyone! I am with Maruine today, runners high #1 for the month! ;)

Nice run with Kim this morning. The wind was STIFF and in our faces the whole first 2.5 miles. We did not have the same blessing of a tail wind on the way home :( Oh well!!
I am off to vote and to the dentist. Good times! | |

First snow run of the year! Yeah!!! How do you run when the sides of the roads are piled with slow and the roads are ice? I do want to run outside all winter, but I don't want to die! :( Any pointers? KimR came with today. I love Kim. Yes, I say that everytime I run with her, but it is true! I think my garmin is sick. The splits don't match with the run average. Maybe the snow messes it all up.
Happy snow day to all!!!

Very nice run today. I went really slow and enjoyed the 24 degree weather. OK that "enjoy" part is a LIE, but it sure was beautiful outside! The sun was out and the snow on the mountain was lovely! It feels like dressing for battle to go out. It takes me a half hour to get all clothed! Tights, check, nylon pants, check, long sleeve shirt, check, another long sleeve shirt, check, socks, check, shoes, check, toilet paper, check, ear muffs, check, gaiter, check, rubber band for pony tail, check, garmen, check, gloves, check, sweatshirt, check, glasses, check! Oh yeah- go to the bathroom again because it took so long to get ready that I need to go again! Oh the joy! I will really enjoy the tank top and shorts next summer!!!
Abs and push ups today! Yipee!!! No abs- I got too ill for anytype of situps! :(

A big fat goose egg for today :( I am guessing I had a bit of food poisoning last night. No one here is sick but me and we've all eaten the same stuff. Let's just say that I feel 89% better this morning and weigh 6 lbs less this morning that I did yesterday morning. I NEVER throw up! Anyway, I hope ya'll are having a GREAT day! We may go for 10 miles tomorrow if all goes well today :D
Do you think I could be allergic to quinoa? That is the only thing I ate before I got sick. hummmm. | | Comments(27) |

There was nothing in the tanks this morning. I couldn't get much water down yesterday :( I was planning on 10 and then just hoping for 5 and ended up being grateful for 3. :D I should be GREAT by Monday.
I am going to go can apple sauce and some salsa today. My neighbor dropped of 6 boxes of apples and I am really excited! My boys LOVE apple sauce and I LOVE free! My friend taught me a super fast and easy way to make it. You only have to wash and quarter the apples, no peeling or coreing. Then you cook them, steam them really in a big pot (about 20 minuites). Then you run them through a Victoria Strainer and VOILA- the waste comes out one side and the apple sauce comes out the other! No sugar and just a 20 minuite water bath and done!!!
FUN FUN FUN!!!!! Have a great weekend!
I think that I am going to do the CIM Folsom to Sacramento next December. Anyone up for it? It starts at 365 ft above sea level and ends at 65 feet above sea level. December in Sacramento is beautiful :D This is as close to a down hill sea level marathon that can be found :) | |
