Thought I would be sore after yesterdays ride...I rode hard and even bought a bag of ice on the way home..intending to have a bath in it. Forgot about the ice and left it overnight in the Suburban. Not really sore today. And pretty chipper.

I went and hit weights at the gym. Worked Back and rear delts. Looked a bit bulky today, "like a bodybuilder" my hubby said...don't you love water fluctuations. It's ok I burned all that water out later and looked stringy instead. 

6p.m. Dreaded this run all day...long and slow. Coach had limits on how hard I could go. I put on the slowest most mellow music on my ipod possible...I don't even know why it's on my ipod..I find it too slow and mellow..haha...found NIN's With Teeth album and listened to that. Kept me on the reins pretty well but not enough..Still was chomping at the bit...Especially when a slow out of shape girl passes me feeling really cool and fast about herself..DRIVES me BONKERS! I started fiddling with my phone pretending that I was checking my messages while running. Yes, I can text, and have phone conversations running. Even at 8pace..haha. Not really faster tho..or I haven't really tried. When I run slow as coach prescribes...I look like I am trotting down the road kinda like a dog..you know how it looks prancy and effortless. So I do look like it's easy..It would be worse if it looked hard to run that slow..haha.

I'm not telling how slow I ran. :P 8.21miles..was cold in shorts and a tank, especially when the rain hit. 

I was a good girl and stretched legs 30min. Core and Abs 15min. Now this isn't total elapsed time with transitions between exercises...These are 90 second holds for the stretches..timed and stopped with a stopwatch. So when I say 30min it is truly 30 solid minutes. Then same with the core. I time each Plank or Side Plank or whatever for 60 seconds. Stop. Start next 60. Make sense? Yes I am really into that watch.

Wow, you did it all today... or I mean yesterday. :) Hey I love NIN. Pretty Hate Machine is one of my top 5 albums of all time. I love that one. Have a great weekend!

Bulky, stringy -- it's all good.

Scott: Nice, NIN debut album :D Made me have to listen to this one on YouTube just now...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEW8riKU_tE

"Head Like a Hole" was my first experience with NIN...then..haha.....I think I decided "Closer" is my favorite because my husband hates it so much. Our entire marriage when the song comes on the radio, I am like...oooooh I love this song!!! And he's like...Ugh.

Paul: You are a true friend. :D

Sammieeeee: I haven't been super religious with the stretching but I am getting back on it. It really makes my legs feel healthy.

Oh my..I just had two cookies with frosting my daughter made..I feel like I had something illegal I am flying..haha. Time to go lift weights with that energy. :)

V~ Oh, St. George? Yep I will register for it. Cross your fingers. Geeze. I Hate it that it's a lottery. OVERATED Marathon for sure. :P Well you have all month to decide. They leave it open till May 1st I believe. I wan't to find a marathon that I can travel to that is awesome beautiful..I am thinking Southern Cali. Might do that if St. Geroge spits in my face again this year.haha.

From vinh on Thu, Apr 01, 2010 at 06:51:02 from 75.77.22.187

Ok, so I'm gonna register today and hopefully we'll both get lucky and get in! If not, we need to find a marathon for Fall! I am so ready to run a marathon. It's gonna be a whole year since the last time I've ran one!

From missy on Wed, Apr 07, 2010 at 20:35:22 from 65.100.213.241

YOU are doing better than I. I haven't done a marathon in ....I lost count..5 years? Time flies! :D

From missy on Wed, Apr 07, 2010 at 20:37:09 from 65.100.213.241

Oh, and if I was you V, go online and book a hotel for St. George now. If you wait till you find out if you get in, you won't have a hotel most likely. If you don't get in just cancel the hotel. I already booked my hotel for St. George and haven't registered for the race yet..haha.

From vinh on Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 06:38:54 from 75.77.22.187

haha Missy, I'll make sure and get a hotel soon. Which one are you staying at?
