Booty Kickin' Workout?

Helloooo Ladies!

I'd love to report that I ran my 10 miles on my schedule for the week but, I have not.  My shin is still shooting pain every time I try to run (or try to use the stairs at the house...fun fun).  It makes me a bit sad, especially considering the race is a mere 17 days away.  Boo.  I needed to get that last long run in, but that hasn't happened.  I'm taking it easy because I don't want to hurt it more.  Hopefully another day or two will help.

In other workout news:
I'm thinking about trying to do P90X.

My dad bought it and hasn't used it, so I figured it's free...why not?  Has anyone gone through the full 90 days?  It seems like a lot of time to put into the workouts which would probably make trying to find time to run and bike a bit much, but those I refuse to give up.  I know I could just use them as supplemental workouts, but I was just curious of the results I would get if I actually did the whole thing.  Anyone with any experience out there??  It looks like each workout is between 55-90 minutes when you add the ab ripper into the mix.

Lottery Winnings

Oh, I didn't win the lottery?  That was one awesome dream last night then.  The Powerball is up to $124 million right now.  It'd be pretty awesome to win that!

This weekend was much appreciated.  Friday was a pretty rough day all around.  It started with my run (or lack there of) and the Dunkin Donuts being closed so I couldn't redeem my free iced coffee after my run and it really went downhill after that with some real stuff, not just a bad-run-and-no-free-coffee kind of thing.  So end of the day Friday, I was ready for the weekend like whoa.

Besides celebrating a friend's birthday and seeing a few fun friends, it was mostly a work weekend, but felt like one of the most enjoyable ones in a while.  I think that shows I really needed the weekend ha.

This weekend, I:

• missed out on my regular sleep durations (Friday-Saturday I was up for 22 hours straight ahh!) to wait for friends to arrive and then take friends to the airport, they went to Costa Rica and I am jealous!
• helped my parents with a project on their condo...manual labor...woo!
• cleaned like a mad woman
• planted more of my seedlings into my garden.  I can't wait to eat the fresh veggies!
• moved sod from one part of the yard to the other by myself (it's not as easy as it looks when John does it).  St. Augustine roots are beastly and sod is heavy!

I'll take pictures of my little garden if the seedlings don't float away by the end of today.  Apparently we're getting another couple days of straight rain.  Thanks for the heads up weatherman!

Oh, and the poor Gators played a pathetic excuse for a football game Saturday.  It was rough to watch, but expected.  Congrats to Melissa for her Auburn win.  Thankfully, we had some good company to console our loss and yummy food + cupcakes!    

I ended last night feeling very pleased with the break I got from work this weekend.  I felt relaxed.  That's always happy, but makes work a lot harder to gear up for the next day.  That about sums up my weekend.  Hopefully this week will be great!

How was your weekend?  Do anything fun or productive??

Say It, Do It

Here are my results from last week:


Monday: 5 x 1000m @ 5k pace with 200 recovery job between each interval.  Abs.
I did 4 instead of 5 due to a time crunch.  My dad was coming over to take a look at our leaking house.  Felt good though.Tuesday: Biceps, back and legs. 2-3 mile run, slow.  Abs.
2 mile run.  10.5 mile bike ride.  Shoulders.Wednesday: Tri's and shoulders.  4 miles, hills (read: overpass, it's Florida)
9.5 mile bike ride.  3.1 miles of hills.  I got a horrible cramp at mile 2 and pushed through until 3.1 and decided to not push it any further.  Abs.Thursday: ~15 mile bike ride. Abs.
Rested.Friday/Saturday: Rest one day, 10 mile run the other day.
Realized I had to run my 10 mile run Friday because of a laser hair removal treatment, so I got up at 4:20am to get in the run.  I ran less than a mile and had pain shooting up my calf and shin.  I thought I just needed to run it out and I'd be fine.  No such luck.  I ended the run at 5 miles so I didn't hurt myself.  It still hurts :(  The race is in less than 3 weeks.  Lame.  I'm going to attempt 10 again tomorrow if I feel up to it.  Also did some major abs to work out my frustration of not completing my run.  Boo.Sunday: REST
Rested.


Total: Ran 13.75 miles, Biked 20 miles, shoulders, and abs.  Not so stellar week.  I'll do better this week hopefully.


This week:
Monday: Abs, shoulders and tris.  
Tuesday: 10 mile run (please please pleeeaaseee!) 
Wednesday: Biceps, back, abs.
Thursday: Speed work of at least 3-4 miles depending on how the legs feel.
Friday: 10-15 mile bike ride.
Saturday/Sunday: Wedding time for friends!


Hopefully this week goes better than last!  

The Truth About Friendship

Say It, Do It

I saw this idea on Fit Chick in the City, so I figured it would probably be a good idea to join in!  It's basically the planning out of your workouts for the week and hopefully saying it out loud and planning it out will help with the follow through.  Here goes.

Monday: 5 x 1000m @ 5k pace with 200 recovery job between each interval.  Abs.
Tuesday: Biceps, back and legs. 2-3 mile run, slow.  Abs.
Wednesday: Tri's and shoulders.  4 miles, hills (read: overpass, it's Florida)
Thursday: ~15 mile bike ride. Abs.
Friday/Saturday: Rest one day, 10 mile run the other day.
Sunday: REST

There you have it.  I'll give an honest report next week on how it all shook out!

The Weekend It Rained...

1.  It rained all weekend.  You would have thought it was at least a tropical storm, but apparently it just formed too high in the sky for the weather men to consider it a tropical storm, so we just had a ton of rain, wind, and a little overflow of the bodies of water in the area.  

Here's the pond at my parents house

2.  The only productive things I did this weekend involved cleaning and hanging out with the hubs, which I consider productive!  Oh and some relaxing...rest, in a sense, is productive...

3.  Our house leaked from all that rain.  It made us very unhappy.  

John has owned the house for 3 years.  It's not like it's a new house.  First it just came in through one of the sliders and by the end of the weekend, it was coming in everywhere. Stupid housing boom and your crappy construction.  Hopefully it's an easy fix and thankfully all but one room downstairs is tile.  We'll find out today since the rain finally stopped!

4.  I spent some time with the girls Saturday night for dinner, fondue and fun!  It was good night.

5.  The Gators lost again.  You'd see my big sad face if you were here with me.  I expect it for the rest of the season now though.  I'll still cheer.  Go Gators!

6.  I won my first giveaway!  It's the prettiest necklace!  And it's from one of my favorite bloggie friends!  Thanks Melissa! 

How was your weekend??

It's OK...

...to be in a foul mood for no particular reason.

well, there's a reason...it's more like nothing in particular happened that set me in that direction.

but, I'm working on it...

...to get in a bit of extra workout time today because it's been a "fat week" by doing jumping jacks and squat jumps every time the opportunity for a bathroom break or water cooler run presents itself.

200 jumping jacks and 40 squat jumps and counting...

and yes, I'm at work

hoping no one catches me

that would be awkward...

...to only want to eat PB&J and an apple for lunch for the next week.

reliving my youth?

...to feel that the only cure for my foul mood is a ride on my road bike later.  

it better not rain

...to 'dislike' facebook.

...to plan dinner as 'whatever's in the fridge' because all you want to do is grab a hot shower after bike ride and lay on the couch with the fuzzy blanket catching up on the dvr. *modernfamily*

...to realize tomorrow is another day...and you can be nicer then!
