5k race recap

January 23, 2016 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

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?

A lazy sleepy Thursday

January 22, 2016 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

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!!!!

Tough Tuesday

Howdy!

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?

Todays running tip. This is actually a good idea the way they do this, especially since i dont have any ice packs.

Found this on pintrest and i’m pretty stoked with how it turned out.

I got compliments on my hair today.

She will chew anything.

Half marathon training starts in earnest next week!

I ordered some seeds!!

Next month i will start the indoor sow.
Here are the seeds I’ve boughten so far

I can’t wait to see if this corn turns out!!!

Monday Motivation**January 11, 2016

January 11, 2016January 10, 2016 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Monday- run 3 miles

Now Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday aren’t locked into a plan yet. I do know 1 day i will have a strength training session, 1 day i will have a training session in the pool and if my trainer and i can work i schedule out i will hopefully have either Tuesday or Thursday morning free so i can go to a spin class before work.

I need to make up for the lack of weekend workouts.

Friday- OFF

Saturday- spin class amd run around the dog park with Artemis.

Sunday-Yoga and run 3 miles.

How about you????

Thursday thoughts

January 7, 2016January 6, 2016 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

And another day has come and gone. Once again work just dragged today. It is slowing down after the holidays and we got spolied with two 3day weekends in a row and are paying the price now.

Today was a day off for my from working out and i LOVED it. I was a couch potato and felt no guilt whatsoever. Now it’s 8:45pm and i am about to pass out to get up for my 5am swim session.

My delicious lunch!! They are veggie ribblets, which i know doesn’t sound very appetizing but they are super awesome!

2nd lunch….. Lol the hunger hit and i made a delicious but un-nutritious choice.

The color i am going to dye my hair this weekend…..yes its pink

My view while journaling……don’t those eyes look awesome with the flash?

One of my goals this year is to journal everyday….so far so good lol.

I write in my triathlete training log, then journal then do a sudoku puzzle

Not a bad way to end the night……

Sweet dreams!!!!!!!

What is your nightly routine?

The rest of my weekend and blue apron

December 27, 2015 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

The rest of my weekend was mostly relaxing.

I got in some workouts and Artemis is slowly getting better at hanging out with me while i workout in our little home gym.

I took her to the dog park for the first time this weekend but it was a muddy rainy mess so i didn’t take pictures.

I made blue apron mushroom and chard quiche, though i halved the amount of mushrooms they gave me and added red onion and put in an extra egg.

I really only expected one quiche and was super suprised when it was two mini quiche. I turned it into six meals!!!! All i need to do is add a small side or make my snack between meals a little bigger but man totally got my money’s worth on that meal.

Ok sleep time for me!!!!!

Oh for a romance update i have re-signed up for eharmony so in a few weeks you should look forward to some dating hijinks posts.

Night!!!

How was your weeknd?

Weekend wrap-up

December 22, 2015December 20, 2015 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Sunday morning my roommate convinced me to get up and go to yoga.

I am glad i went. These are the days when it is really good to have a workout partner. It made me introspective which made me a little depressed but i pulled myself out of it.

Our second Barkbox came!!!

I love this!! You put treats in it and the dog can slowly chew them out.

I got a treat tin to out all her treats in!! I’m stoked about that!

This is the perfect toy for Artemis, the head is a tennis ball and the body is ropes and squeakers. Artemis can’t have anything with stuffing because she will eat it and get sick.

I swear this looks like a slim jim.

I bought probiotics from Amazon because i caught a stomach bug that is going around. Those came on Saturday so i am starting to take those to balance me out.

I did a bit of organizing and decorating of my room. I need to get settled.

How was your weekend?

Awesome swim workout

December 15, 2015December 14, 2015 by Ariana Peters, posted in Uncategorized

Hi everyone!!!!!

So I’m am starting the very beginning basics of training for a triathalon. My goal is a duathalon in August then a triathalon in September.
The Portland tri-sprint is an 800 meter swim and today i swam a total of 950 meters!!!! Now don’t get too excited yet there were breaks and some rounds i used flippers and paddles and all that stuff but i swam the distance and in less than 50 minutes including my breaks. I still have a LONG way to go but this was seriously inspiring to me today.

Post workout waiting for dinner to cook.

My workout hunger is starting to come back. I need to start planning snacks in between my meals.

Lunch was leftover veggie lasagna that my awesome roomie made for me. It may not look that pretty but it was DELICIOUS!!!!

My vitamin D just arrived from amazon. Here in Oregon we dont see the sun in the winter, pretty much at all and i am already deficienct in vitamin D so yea.

I also started taking this. Gotta keep those joints happy with all this swimming, running, walking, biking and yoga.

I am also alternating taking these. I swear by essential oils. I’ve started taking oregano every night and am not getting sick anymore, knock on wood.

Do you take any supplements? If so what, and why?

Thirsty Thursday

And a little hail at some point according to my coworkers.

I hit the gym and remembered to finally take a pic of the spinning class schedule so i can start training for next years triathalon!!!

Todays training session became half weights have swimming when we realized there was a swim class from 6:30-7:30. So i got a double workout woot woot!!! Swimming felt better today and i am getting in the pool twice next week!

Yay!!! A freshly made bed with clean sheets!!! Take a look now, between me and the dog by tomorrow it will be a tangled mess of sheets.

I love her to death but sometimes she kills me with the way she sleeps.

Speaking of Ms Artemis ……..sometimes she is so cute!!!!

Quick selfie before bed!!! Yep Harry Potter is on in the background

At 3:50ish tomorrow morning the boyfriend boards 1 of 3 flights it will take him to get to India for work and he will be gone for a week.

I cannot wait for his work to slow down, it is really stressing our relationship.

Goddess help us get through the next 4 weeks!!!!

Goodnight and swetlet dreams to all!!!
