I'm not crazy...I'm just bored!!

The first time in a long while that I actually got out for a nice run. I ran to Butterfield Park and then up through the cove to the top of Rose Canyon Road. Turned and came back down. My back likes the uphill when it is tight, but my quads aren't happy from Friday's lifting and the half. Averaged just over a 9MM which for the up and my back I was pleased with. Beggars can't be choosers.

I bailed on the Newtons morning run this morning. I hate getting up early and the cold...I'm losing motivation. However, I did get one mile in on the TM at the gym...yay?

I did weights/legs and boxing class with yoga and stretching afterward. 

Besides the ringing in my ears, all is well. 

I was supposed to do sparring and speed work, but with the winter storm Cyle cancelled on me...so I just did my speed work.

15 minutes of warm up and then 3 min at 9.5MPH or higher and then 1 min off (TM stopped, I'd jump and put my cell phone timer on) and 2 minutes at 7.2ish and then back to the 3 minutes at high speed. I did the speed work 5X - so a total of 15 minutes. Finished the 6 miles in 45 minutes - 7:30 AP, not too shabby knowing I had 15 minutes of warm-up in there. 

I then did 20 minutes of Lina's class. Lots of squats and other fun stuff...yay. She certainly made those 20 minutes worth my time!

I blew off the Newtons again this morning too. My head and the ringing in my ears is just getting unbearable. 

I did lifting (arms) and then boxing and sparring. Cyle said it was one of the best sessions yet. I'm feeling better about my preparation for the fight. I just need to make it official to get it off my mind.

A mile warm up on the treadmill while I was waiting to get started with Cyle. 

Lots of power lifting and one of the hardest workouts I've had in a long time. Then we did boxing class with little to no reprieve. 

Everytime I'd hit the bag it would echo in my head. ugh...this darn ringing in my ears (which isn't too horrible today, almost gone) and now my brain feeling like it is bouncing around in there. sigh....

I sat down for 30 minutes and chatted with Angela until my head was clear enough I felt like I could drive safely. 

The infamous Burn 5K. The Draper side of Suncrest...up. So much fun as usual. The field was a lot deeper this year than last year. I think I came in 7th overall female, but I truly have no idea. I don't even know my official finish time. Plus the race was longer this year, because the park we normally stop at was snowed in and so we went an extra .1 - not that it really matters in the long run!

My only goal this year at the race was to NOT stop and walk. I've always taken a walk break every other time I've done suncrest. Not this time. I was determined that no matter how horribly slow I was, I wouldn't walk. I made it to the top passing a few people AND running the whole way. Bring it!

I ran down with Michelle Henderson who was doing the up and down 3X to prep for Antelope Canyon 50miler. I should've stayed and done it with her! But, alas...priorities. 

So, I went to Lauren's swim meet and watched her take 10 seconds off her 500M PR - 6:35 now. She is doing SO well!!!

Then I finally went to sparring and I didn't know that Cyle was going to have Whitney and I spar full force. I had no idea and I wasn't ready for it. Especially with how my head has felt all week. But, I had to suck it up and deal with it. So, I did. I got dazed at least twice and I was not happy about the situation or sparring well. But, I did it. I came home and slept for hours with an ice pack on my head and then did nothing because I wasn't really functional the rest of the day. Shaking hands, headache, nausea...yeah, I love it....
