KICKED OUT!!

Ok so the funniest thing happened today. We were doing kettlebells in the room at work where we book it for over the lunch hour. ANYWAY!! Some dude, comes in with about 15 cops because hes also booked it... AWKWARD.. Needless to say we got kicked out.. Funnist part though, we ended up having to do it in an open space of the office where people were walking by.. some noticed us.. some not at all LOL. Pretty funny. Oh well, we still got the job done!

Nothin..

I got nothin for yah... bad out for running.. Cross training mostly at the gym this week, cant seem to score the treadmills!! Here's a motivational quote...tweeted this morning by @falconrunner1  #winning doesnt always mean being 1st. Winning also means you are doing better than you have done before... Keep striving to better yourself!!

H.I.I.T = H.E.L.L!!

Ok well maybe its not HELL, but OMG its hard!!! Second day of our HIIT run., it was a little harder to get through today because we were all pretty sore from yesterday. Might need the weekend to recover. Back at the craziness Monday!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!!!
We did a warm up run, then 15 mins of HIIT and cool down. So 3.5K in 25 mins.

H.I.I.T

So today Jenni, mallori and newcomer cara lea tried this hiit! Which stands for high intensity interval training! CRAZY!! Ok so you warm up then u run like I mean run like your running for your life for 10 seconds then you walk 20 seconds. You do this for 20 mins. Holy crap!! It's hard. But it's supposed to be an awesome workout helps u lose belly fat. Hopefully it will get me a better 5k time while I'm at it to!! Great job ladies. It was an awesome experience!

HOTTER THAN A MOFO!

Ok, I hate to complain, but MAN O MAN its friggin hotter than a mofo out there. GEEEEZZZZ
That was the worse run EVER!! Felt like I was going to die, I still feel like I might pass out!!! WOW. Anyway, 5K in 39:15. Not great.. not sure how im going to shave 6 minutes off this time in 3 weeks for St Louis!! AHHHH THE PRESSURE! Oh well, I can only do what I can do!! My best time ever was 35:10, hopefully the adreneline will kick in at the race and make me GO!!!!!!

GOT MY RUN ON!

Great day for a run!! What a beautiful run by the water just behind where I work. Nice long path goes out to Hogs Back even!! Might have to do that one sometime soon!! Ran with Elizabeth today, she's gettin her 21.1K on!! In Alaska in June!! AWESOME U GO GIRL!!!!!!! She also has a blog .. take a look. Its called Alaska Bound 4 Cancer.
Todays run was 5K, 40:39, not bad.. needs some work.. #getyourrunon

GYM

OK, so that same old dude at the gym always comes in when ALL the treadmills are in use and then he watches everyone like a hawk until he sees them slowing down then he POUNCES on them! WOW, dude, change your schedule... your annoying..
Did 3.6K on the treadmill today... tomorrow's another day!! #getyourrunon

Interval Training

What a great run today!! Did 5K with Jenni & Malori. Malori was unsure of what she could achieve, but WOW! She did awesome. We started off that we would run 1K and walk, for as long as she needed to get to 5K, but she was actually doing awesome! We only walked about 1K in total. Our time was 41:54. Not bad!! Its gonna be a great week!

OH!! And NO foot pain!!!! WHAATTT!!!

Damn shoes!!!

Ok, so I bought a new pair of running shoes because I had convinced myself that the Mizuno's I bought last season where the cause of my foot pain. They had high arch padding in them because my doctor told me my heels had dropped, so I assumed I needed the extra support. BUT, now after running outside just one day with them, Im having the same pain on the top of my foot.. not as bad as it was, and maybe its just because it was an outdoor run, so maybe I just need to get back into it. Im hoping thats all it is, because them damn shoes aint cheap!! And I dont know what else to do here!! The weather is looking awesome for Sunday and most of next week, so I think by then I should get a few good runs in and I should be able to tell by then. Hopefully its just temporary! Gonna try to get a 10K run in the next few days. Hopefully Sunday! Stay tuned.

GREAT DAY FOR A RUN!!

Wow I cant beleive it actually got to 10 degrees!! Jenni & I made it out for our run, we had to make a bit of a change, but it was awesome!! Execpt for the running in puddles part and getting showered by cars! But who cares SPRING IS HERE!!! We did pretty awesome!!! I overdressed as per usual!! There was no need for 2 long sleeve shirts.. bad habits are hard to break!!! Shorts & a tshirt would have been fine for this awesome weather! #getyourrunon!

This does wonders...

Excited...

It's Wednesday tomorrow..#justsayin
#getyourrunon. Weather is still looking promising! Jenni and I mapped out a 5k to run tomorrow. Through Vanier Hahahahahah. Should be good.

Go! St Louis

5 Weeks to GO!! St Louis Marathon !! Biker Ben is running the 42.2KM!! WHOOT WHOOT! Alyson & I are going to do the 5K.  Actually Biker Ben is running with her for the 5K too so that I can get a decent time. Im hoping to shave a couple of minutes off. So hopefully around 33 mins. But at this rate of NOT running outside, im not too optimistic that it will happen. Oh well, whatever, as long as I finish without falling over myself! haha Thats my goal! Its so exciting!! April 12th we leave Ottawa, the 5k is on the Saturday and then the Marathon on Sunday morning. We leave to come back home that same evening.

OVER MY HEAD?

Ok so is it even realistic to think 6 and a bit months is enough time to train for a half marathon? Like to run the whole time without having to walk any of it? Because that is the goal!! To actually run the whole thing. I know I can run 13k but it takes me FOREVER!! And it doesn't help that it's still winter out there. I don't care what anyone says running on a treadmill is not the same as running outside! Starting to freak out a bit here...

SPRING?

Could it be?? Me sees birdies in that there tree!

10 Degrees???

So!! I'm really excited because I just checked the weather for the week and it says... Wait for it... 10 degrees on Wednesday!!! Now I know things can change before then!! But a girls gotta have something to live for!!!! #getyourrunon.
