Update for March 17
Exercise:
WO2 [31:37]
Box squats: 3x11 15lbs
I'm really getting strong, powered right through. Going to up the reps next time.
Single leg dead lifts: 2x15 15lbs
I feel like I need to check my form. I am still having a hard time with balance!
Pushups: 3x12
Felt great, did my best to get as low as possible.
Bent rows: 3x15 10lbs
Felt good, could go heavier!
I didnt get to planks! Today for sure!
Food:
1596 cals
46.3g fat
231.2g cho
74.3g protein
Had a cooking issue last night. I bought some nice sirloin steaks for dinner, but we ran outta propane so I fired up the foreman... I'm not quite used to it yet and I waaaay over cooked our steaks, especially mine because it was 1/2 the size of Stephen's... and I don't eat over cooked steak... I ate about an oz then pitched it! I also cooked up some squash, mushrooms, and sweet potato, so I chowed down on that! And I had a brownie... but they are all gone now so that temptation is outta the way!
We are hitting a trail tonight, first of the season. I'm sure it will be a tough ride, but fun all the same!

Just a quick update for the last weekend of March.
We did a 100 min endurance circuit on Friday. We ran both .50 mile and .25 mile intervals and the goal was to beat the previous time. I was able to shed about 20 second off my half mile time. I did a total of 5 circuits and 2.25 miles. I was lifting heavier than usual and really felt awesome when it was all said and done.
Saturday I joined my Co-worker G for salsa aerobics. As always it was a blast, but my foot was not enjoying it as much as I was. I had to bring my intensity down because I didnt want to hurt my foot... or reinjure it. The rest of the day was super low key. Just worked on homework and had dinner in.
Yesterday was pretty low key as well. I was slammed with homework this weekend so I was working diligently to get it done. I'm still working on the last bits of it now. I have a 7-9 page lit review due next week for a large part of my grade and I'm hoping to do well. We have a workshop tomorrow and I want to be as prepared as possible!
I got my first "long run" in since the injury. 3 miles with a PR time of 36:45. This week will be low miles and possibly one hill workout then next week is back to the grindstone trying to get my mileage back!
I have a DR appt on Thursday for a final release to go back to normal. However my foot has been feeling pretty tops lately... still only a bit of pain here and there!
My food intake has been a bit higher but TOM was visiting last week and I didn't eat junk. Just more good stuff that usual. My high cal day was 2002 cals... not really that bad, still in the deficit... so that's what matters!
Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Training Plan March 30-April 5
Monday: WO2 + 30 mins Cardio + Stretch/Foam Roll
Tuesday: 2.5 mile tempo run (fast and furious) + Stretch/Foam Roll
Wednesday: 15-20 mile bike ride (keeping my fingers crossed)
Thursday: WO1 + stretch/Foam Roll
Friday: 2+ mile Hill run + stretch/Foam Roll
Satruday: Moderate Trail Ride (per Stephen's request)
Sunday: Long Run - Academy Loop 3.3 miles
Stephen and I planned out the next few weeks of training... I personally would like a rest day, but I get one next Thursday. He wasn't taking into account that I MUST strength train 2x a week at a min... which doesn't leave much by way of resting!! I just don't want to overtrain... I've been there and it doesn't really help!

Hello!
I've been MIA for a tick... school is CRAZY busy!
I've been concentrating on my running mostly lately and not really much else, but I've got 5 weeks to optimize my running and my physique. I'm hoping to see 129 by the time of the big race in May, as well as rock the bod in a new bikini I have yet to purchase!
Work was really getting me down, but I'm back on TOP now and keeping my eye on getting this semester over... only 4 more weeks until I'm freeeee... there is a good chance I'm going to take 2 classes this summer to help me get ahead, but its still in debate!
I hope everyone is doing well... and I will try to do some catching up!

So its been a tick since I've made any kind of update. However as long as its been you'd think I'd have more to say.
The summer was brutal, took 2 courses and had only 2 weeks off between semesters. This semester has been brutal aswell. I'm taking 5 classes, that manage to take up the majority of my time... yet I'm still working 20 hours a week and I've been training for a half marathon which is this weekend.
My current goals after the race is all said and done is to finally bear down and break into the 120s and continue to work on my mental blocks. Step and I are going to MA on holiday in 68 days and I would like to be in top top shape... which honestly I'm not that far from and within only a couple of weeks a really watching my intake and getting some solid strength training in... all will be good in my world.
So today is day 1 essentially of getting back on track. My goals for the week are to keep my cals under 1700 and drink my water. Log 20+ miles and rock out at my half marathon this weekend.
Fall break is this week so I've got a slow school week, with a few things due tomorrow and a midterm wednesday, then I'm free. And I took the end of the week off to have some much needed ME time.
Attached is a photo from this past summer. I did about 1/2 of the P90x program before getting totally exhausted from work and school and training.
I will be posting my intake and exercise daily so all comments and suggestions are welcome!!

Update for Oct 12
Exercise:
None - got wrapped up in an assignment
Food:
1662 cals
49g fat
203g cho
103g protein
A little carby but I'll take it. I look to see the scale drop a few "weight" pounds this week and get a better idea of where I'm really at.
Today's goals (Oct 13) are the same. Keep cals under 1700 and drink my water. I have a low key day school wise with only one class and then might have lunch with a friend and study for a midterm tomorrow.
My evening schedule should allow for a run 4-6 miles and some much needed stretching.

Thanks Alta!! I love you too!! I can't wait to see you again!! We need to get to planning SOMETHING SOON!Oct 13 Update
Food:
Not really sure, went out to lunch with a friend and had a pretty heavy meal. We will say that I did not reach my goals for the day. I might try to overestimate what I had into fitday to get a rough estimate.... but at the same time I'm not super concerned about it.
Exercise:
5.25 mile run Took about an hour. My gps died just after mile 4 so I'm not 100% on the time, but I was going more for mileage than anything. I felt strong and if the sun hadn't disappeared I would have continued for another mile or 2.

Oct 14 Update
I'm officially on fall break so I celebrated with a "date night" in. We ordered pizza and made cookies and watched "He's just not that into you." Which was freaking hilarious!
With that in mind!
Food:
?? Mostly likely too much, but who cares I'm freeee!
Exercise:
Stretched 10 mins
Between the sheets time ?? mins
Only a few days away from my big event... once its all over then the "real" work begins. I know that I can easily break into the 120s within a 2 week span of clean eating and exercise. Right now I'm just trying to keep myself hydrated and well rested for the race. I'm very excited to finally be doing this, because I've talked about it for long enough. I think I was always scared of the higher miles, but I AM a runner now and as Mel told me a long time ago... "whats the worst that could happen? You walk a bit?" And she was RIGHT!!
Today I'm out of work at 10:30 and then because of fall break I'm off for the rest of the day. However I've got a few assignments I want to get done and then spend the rest of the afternoon working on vision boards, scrap books, and catching up on my magazine reading... I've got like 4 runner's worlds that I haven't read yet!!
I also plan to map out my plan of attack to break into the 120s and get a WO schedule rockn' for the remainder of the year!!!
