Howdy all!!!
I got back to my running today!

Yesterday it was all nice and overcast so i planned to run at lunch today, of course it was hot and sunny today!
My face was super red sitting at my desk for like an hour afterwards hahahahahaha.

My mac and cheese lunch ended up sucking! I will never buy the Safeway version again to save 20cents. So i tossed it 😦 thankfully i had brought a vemma bod-e shake with recovery.

So that was my lunch.

Hanging at my desk.

I have a work dinner tonight and thankfully i decided to look at the menu and nutritional information before going. I was going to get fish and chips….yum, yum, yum. But it was more than my whole DAY of calories!!! Veggie burger it is lol!!!

Planning ahead means i can make the best choice for me.

Have you ever planned your meal ahead when going out?

What was your workout today?

Hi everyone!!!!

Well it is Wednesday and my training schedule this week has been totally rearranged already.

Sunday night i was all set to go to bed early and get the week started off right then my roommate and i started chatting in our bonus room thing, which has no clocks, and finally i was super tired and called it a night thinking it was like 10:30pm……i walk into my room and the clock says midnight!!!!!

Then Monday i went out on a date to a cider bar and ended up not getting home until past 10:30pm (google maps you let me down!!! it kept losing GPS every other minute….literally) then my roomates wanted some dish about the night so i once again i crawled into bed around 11:30pm or a little past.

Not that big of a deal i figured i would just skip 1 weights this week and move my run to Wednesday morning. WEll this morning rolled around and my alarm went off at 5:30am, i snoozed it to 5:50am then made the executive decision to run tomorrow morning instead. I WILL get in my 3 runs this week, it just may be 3 days in a row. Thankfully my training is still low mileage enought that this shouldnt be a problem.

My organics to you box came yesterday, i made fennel risotto for my lunch today, it was DELICIOUS!!

Munching on blueberries from my box.

Needed a little pick me up today, work is so slow i was falling asleep.

Between my roomate and i we are overflowing with zucchini and summer squash…..i gave 3 away to my coworkers today. I may be giving more away in the future lol.

What do you do when your schedule gets thrown off? 

What is a good mid-afternoon pick me up for you?

Soooooo………I am going back out on the trail!!!! I already got approved for the time off work and i am going back on the trail for 5-6 days!

September 2-6/7 i will be hiking from Cascade Locks to Trout Lake. It is about 84 miles so my goal will be about 16 miles a day. Monday is labor day which my job is closed so i have that extra day as a buffer.

As of right now i am going out alone, but who knows maybe one of these dates will find me someone to hike with, but im not holding my breath lol.

😄😄😄😄

Hi all!!!! I hope everyone had a fun weekend like i did!!!

Saturday i took it easy to make sure i fully mended from my bug. Spent the day lounging on the couch, watched the last half of season 9 of the amazing race and the beginning of season 10. I read a little and caught up on some correspondence…..and sipped on a frapachino of course.

I pin curled my hair to make it cute for the beginning of the week cause i have two dates scheduled.

I did it today so it can fall out a bit for the dates, don’t want it to look too perfect on the first date hahahaha.

But one of the best parts of the weekend was…..wedding cake tastings!!!! Yep, you read that right (don’t freak out mom, keep reading).
I don’t even have a boyfriend and im tasting wedding cakes.

One of my roommates has a small baking business on the side and she is doing a wedding cake tasting this weekend, so she is making extra for me to taste first.
This is one job i will gladly be the guinea pig for!!!

Thank goodness i have started running or i would gain 500lbs living here because every other week she is making cupcakes i get to try, and cupcakes are a weakness of mine.

My roommate and i also went and saw ‘Trainwreck’ Saturday night which was super cute and so funny! Here’s to a good week!!!!

Have you seen any good movies lately?

Are you an amazing race junkie like me?

Week 3 of half marathon training!!!

Monday-off

Tuesday- 3 miles

Wednesday-Weights and Calisthetics

Thursday- 3 miles

Friday-Weights and Calisthetics

Who is joining me in training this week?

So i went for my run Tuesday morning then by Tuesday afternoon i was having bad stomach cramps and bloating, i felt really bad.

I rescheduled a date i had and went home after work.

I just kept feeling worse and worse. I threw up everything i ate, had the cold sweats, was super achey all over had a killer headache. I missed 2 days of work and lost 4 lbs in about 36 hours, 24 of which i has slept. I don’t know if it was the flu, or food poisening or a stomach bug…..i dont know.

I am back at work.

arg, dang photo wont straigten out. Oh well, i dont have the energy to fix it right now.

I am living on mainly sprite.

And and scrapped all my training this week becuase i am still barely holding food down.

Fingers crossed i vastly improve over the weekend.

I hope your week has been better than mine!!!!!!!

Howdy all!!!!

So i have had these pictures on my phone saying i was going to do a blog since before i left Nevada and i am just now doing it…..slacker party of one!!!

Anyways, there is a park in Fernley, NV that so has the right idea, I think all parks should do this. So it has the normal playground for kids and all but surround the playground are 5 or 6 workout stations…..how genius is that!!! They are simple stations so a parent can workout while keeping an eye on their kid at the park.

 look right in between the green poles and the jungle gym thing, in the background that is workout station.

  here is a little closer pic of the one by the playground then look to the right and there is one out there.

 and here is a close-up of one of the stations. This was the stretching station.

Is this not awesome??!!

Does anywhere near you have anything like this?

Good Afternoon everyone!!!

Well here is how my day started

When i got home i chugged some protein and recovery, with a little extra recovery thrown in.

I was a little shakey after the run hahahahahaha.

Of course i just happened on a blog yesterday talking about the importance of stretching out your calves at least once a day when training……oops! I so have not been doing that. I used one of those torturous not foam rollers and holy cow did that hurt my poor extra sore left calf but overall it was good for me.

How do you treat sore muscles?
