Another weekend gone.
I felt totally fine today no stomach bug symptoms.
I didn’t got to yoga cause truthfully it sucked last week lol. My roommate C went and she said it was better so ill go next week. Artemis and i chilled on the couch and caught up on some TV shows.
After C got back from yoga we took the dogs to the park park and let them run around for about 45 min until they seemed tired. Went i say let them run around i mean half the time i chased or ran from them to get them moving. Both dogs are making progress at being more social and running around without me. Slowly but surely.
After the dog park more tv watching and relaxing. She was tuckered out
In the evening i did my 3rd couch to half marathon workout for this week but didn’t push too hard. My knees were sore. Probably from pushing last night to PR then running at the dog park this morning. I iced knees while dinner cooked
.
So while i was running i started listening to season 1 episode 1 or whatever its called of the podcast serial. A bunch of bloggers have talked about it and now i see why. I am hooked!!!! I’ve listened to like 4 episodes tonight!
Hi!!!!
As you’ll see in my insane videos i was supposed to run my 2nd 5k in the winter 5k race series but didn’t.
As you’ll see in this video i did like 2 minutes after i got off the treadmill i was a little out of it. Directly post hard run my brain is a little foggy. My 5k that was in the 41:00 range was in December not January as this is January lol.
So i actually only beat my best time by 13 seconds but i will take it! Any improvement is improvement.
It didnt help that im not feeling 100% and that i may have eatin pizza last night…….and this morning.
We got our barkbox!!!
She is already liking the hippie toy.
We did a lot of sleeping and cuddling today which was really nice.
It was sooooo sweet!!!!
My trusty garmin……i LOVE it!!! I would like to take another minute to thank my aunt for in essence being my sponser and helping me finance it.
How was your Saturday?
If you have run a 5k what is your PR?
Happy Friday!!!!!
The sun is actually out here today in the Pacific Northwest so i just went for a little walk on my lunch and soaked up a little natural vitamin D.
I just ordered this:
So i can get my tomatoes and peppers started inside in the next few weeks.
I also set up my farming fridays wishlist on amazon:

I like wish lists on amazon because they dont clutter up my cart and whenever i have a little extra income……hahahaha like that actually happens, i know where to go to grab 1-2 things.
While i was at it i made one for working out stuff too
http://smile.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/275L7TNBZGUKM/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_ws_kgQOwb1GHQSMK
I just bought new running shoes off amazon!
Thankfully it is a brand i already use so i know my size and all that…….$31 on amazon!! How awesome is that!!!! In about a 5-6 weeks i’ll pop into the REI near me and see if they have any running shoes on clearance so i can have 2 pairs to switch back and forth with.
So as i said i have a 5k run tomorrow, yay! My goal is to be 1 minute (or more) faster than my time from December, Sunday will be yoga. Those are the only set in stone plans i have, some reading would be good.
What are your weekend plans?
Any Races? Workouts?
How often do you buy new workout shoes?
So i was supposed to get up and go to spin class Thursday morning but i didn’t sleep well and was still sore and fatigued from Tuesday’s leg workout so i decided to sleep for an extra 2 hours instead. Also ibwas playing it a little safe because there is a nasty stomach bug going around.
Sometimes on my morning commute i wonder how i ended up back in city traffic everyday.
I enjoyed vegetable soup from zoup lol
Reading has been a big theme for me lately. I’ve been bindging and i love it!
I enjoyed a pretty sunrise one day this week.
I got yakisoba!!! noodles yesterday and it was delicious!!! I feel like yakisoba sould always been said with an exclamation point LOL.
Since i didn’t do spin i turned Thursday into my rest day. I got home from work. Took the dog for a walk, because miraculously it wasnt raining!!!! Then i plopped down in front of the TV and didn’t move until bedtime. It was nice, but very unproductive.
Tonight, Friday, i am going to run 1 minute, walk 2 minuted x10.
Tomorrow morning is 5k race day!!!!
Good Morning!!!

Yesterday was back to work after the weekend.
I’m having a hard time right now. I’ve been very up and down lately with my mood. I feel like i am constantly fighting off depression, thank goodness for working out.
Today’s running quote.
I made coffee today! Yay me. Gotta cut costs when i can.
Snacks!!!
Today’s workout
Not bad for my first ‘run’. I think I’m going to like the couch to half marathon training plan.
I got post run kisses 
I hate being depressed and i am trying to figure out what is causing it so i can fix it. I’ll keep you posted.
How was your Monday?
Have you workout yet this week?
Happy Monday!!!!!
Monday- Run 1 minute, walk 2 minutes x 10
Tuesday- weight training session with trainer
Wednesday- swim session with trainer
Thursday- spin class
Friday- OFF
Saturday- 5k and dog park
Sunday- yoga and intervals: run 1 min walk 2 min x 10
Sadly i am going to have to suspend my training (with my trainer) for a month or two once this set of sessions is over because it has put a serious dent in my credit card. I love it and i love her but i just can’t afford it right now.
And another weekend comes to an end. What idiot thought up the 5 day work week with only 2 days off?
Friday’s hair held up to take me through Saturday spin class and made it to the dog park for the 15 min that C and i managed to walk in the pouring rain before throwing in the towel.
Still loving my last purchase from fabletics. These great long pants.
Yep after spin class that totally happened. Protien, recovering and a mocha all blended together in my blender bottle.
Pulled out an old bad boy i bought at the rock amd roll half expo in 2014. This great massager that uses like electrodes or something.
I slept all wrong on my neck. Used it Saturday and Sunday.
Major sugar craving Saturday night. This is how i handled it.
Sunday Mornings awsome breakfast. Eggs, veggies and cheese on sourdough toast with a little salsa on top.
Lunch was grilled cheese and a salad.
Used my heart rate monitor for the first time.
It linked to my garmin while I was running to track my treadmill workout.
I saved my workout and it stored to my phone. Yes i ran at snail speed. Actually i did intervals. My best one was 8:24. My worst was like 19:30 LOL.
Post run snack.
Delicious edemame for dinner along with a little brown rice.
Goodnight!! See you back at the grind tomorrow!!
How was your weekend?
Did you workout?
How do you track your workouts?
Favorite meal this weekend?
I really enjoyed this book. It followed one woman who becomes a witch to save herself through several ‘lives’. She is immortal so the book checks in with her a few times over different decades, i really liked that.
I found it really interesting because of the sneak peak through the decades. I feel like it was a more unique twist on the same old story. I would definitely reccomend this book.
