find each others light

Time 37:50 AP 9:09

Left at 6:30am. Banged my head on the garage door on my way out. OUCH! Still asleep I guess. Ran past some smashed pumpkins in the street. My legs are still tired and a little sore from Sat. I got to the top of Newcastle at turn around point and beheld a beautiful sight. The bright moon, stars and the outline of the mountain as the sun was just coming up.

Jackie Warner Upper body and ab circuit. 30 min.

Happy November! Cleaning and putting Halloween decor away today. Excited for the great weather this week.

Did Power Yoga 3- Bryan Kest 40 min

Ran 4 miles on the treadmill. 36 min. Watched Alien. What's the cat's name?

Power Yoga 2- 45 minutes. After doing level 3 and 2, level 1 seems easy. I LOVE YOGA!

Time 1:00:05 AP 9:15

Gee I felt slow this morning. Left at 6:20am. Felt warmer then I was expecting. Maybe I dressed too warm. I was fine the whole run except my hands were sweating.  My legs were really tired toward the end of the run due to tougher than usual yoga yesterday and the day before. Miles 1 and 2, steady incline up Newcaslte and continuing up a little and then down for a while until the huge hill on Eastdell. Then downhill toward home on 98th and turn toward home. Down hill to Falcon (rush of cold air here brrrrr) and then I ran up the short cut= straight up and switch backs for a minute. Legs were killing here. When I walked to the church to stretch on the bike rack I started getting really cold. The sun was rising and the moon was a sliver of a thumbnail right above the mountain. Always remember! Wherever you are...the moon is no bigger than your thumb...

Kids are screaming at me...hope this made sense.

Time 45:53 AP 9:11 First mile 8:54 and last mile 8:50

Slept in a little and went at 7:15am. Nice to go when there's a little light.The weather is so perfect right now, just want it to stay this way. I wore capris and long sleeves. No gloves which was fine, it's the headband/ear cover I missed. Don't know why I didn't bring it but my ears froze. Last time I forget that. 

I ran around both parks so there were a lot of hills. It was cold at Falcon (low)and warm at Flat Iron (high). I love the new path at FI and it was light enough to see the beautiful leaves on the trees and on the path and I just LOVE fall and running in this weather. Didn't see many people out. Just one runner by home and one walker at FI.

Raking leaves today and tomorrow. Will be my upper body workout for today. We have a TON in our front yard. My kids are out raking and jumping in the leaves right now. Letting them have some fun before we put them in the garbage...the leaves I mean:)

Change of plan. Picnic at a park with cousins and then coming back to continue with leaf play/clean-up. 

Raked leaves and mowed lawn.

I walked 4.29 miles in 1:06:01. Don't know if I should log it since I walked. It's warm and windy. The leaves are beautiful on the trees and crunching on the ground as I walk on them. Listened to my classical music. Snow-capped mountians are beautiful. Cherishing this last day of nice weather. Thought I was leaving at 8:30am but I guess it was 7:30am. Cool.

Didn't want to run in the rain and wind. 

Jillian Michaels Burn Fat/Boost Metabolism 54 min

Bryan Kest Power Yoga 2. 45 minutes.

Can't believe this weather!  Going to buy Cream of celery soup for my beef stew with no makeup on and two little kids. I hate when I forget one ingredient!

6 miles TM run. 55 minutes. Interval workout. That's it.

40 min. Jackie Warner Total Body Circuit-quote of the day "Pop that booty out the back..." (ski lunges)

It took me one hour to run 6.7 miles this morning. Garmin battery was about to die so I left it home. Pretty cold out but I dressed appropriately. So nice to have a little light greeting me at 6:36am (it took me forever to get out the door for some reason). The east mountain was covered with clouds and I thought it might snow while I was out but didn't. On my way down from the water tower, albion area, the snow-capped mountains in the west were pink on top from the sun rise. Awesome! The leaves are still beautiful too. Love running outside! So much better than the treadmill. Just need to be motivated to get my butt out of bed when it's dark and cold in the am. 

 Bryan Kest Power Yoga- 52 min

55minutes of Jillian Michaels Burn Fat/Boost Metabolism (cardio, plyometrics, body weight training). Used to have to modify walking planks and pike ups in the ab section but no more.

Brrrrrrisk 1 mile walk around the big block with the kiddo in the stroller.  40 degrees at noon. Shoulda covered my ears.

Time 1:00:20 AP 9:00

Splits 8:45, 9:18, 9:25, 9:18, 9:00, 8:48 and .70 in an 8:15 pace. Wish I could keep that up for longer. Maybe if I would stop eating like CRAP on the weekends! Felt sluggish after eating that yummy Zinn Bistro food. These splits are with 3 significant hills. I ran around both parks and up 17th. I was sick of running hills and wanted to run fast after that so I stayed flat. I wanted to do a long run today but didn't get up early enough. It's so nice to run when it's light out. Couldn't run longer cause I had to be at the aux training "experience" from 9-11am. Have an appt. at 1pm. A ward baptism at 3pm and adult session of stake conference tonight. Have to go cause Jeff is saying the closing prayer. Should rake leaves today but...don't think it's gonna happen cause BYU game starts sometime soon and I don't want to rake leaves by myself again.

Time 34:38 AP 8:40 Yay! Quick run in the rain. Left a little late and wanted to get back to say goodbye to my 8th grader.

Trainer momma Upper Body workout-45 minutes

http://trainermomma.blogspot.com/2010/02/print-it-use-it-upper-body-workout.html

 Wanted to try something different so I found something new on exercise tv. 40 minutes of yoga with stupid Bethanny Frankel alongside a real yoga instructor and they were both totally annoying. Won't make that mistake again. I haven't found anyone who tops Bryan Kest for yoga.

 Ran 4 miles in 35 minutes, interval training, TM run. Watched part of "The Abyss." Baby crying, kids home from school and gotta drive carpool for 8th grader. See ya.

Hope you're having a good day!

Time 1:02:24 AP 9:33

Left at 5:20 am YIKES! So proud of myself. Met Deb and she handed me a head light. We ran up Newcastle and met Jill. Went up the trail and saw a shooting star. So cool! Went up to Wasatch and turned right up a big hill to 94th. I conquered that hill!  Went down to Highland and home. We would have done 8 but I had to be home around 6:20 to make it to school choir by 7. Didn't quite make it on time:) Still can't believe I got up that early but I'm so glad I did. Having presidency meeting during Josie's nap time so I can't exercise then. It's always better for me to get it done in the a.m. anyway. It's makes a world of difference for me to run outside rather than on the treadmill. So grateful for this great weather!

Will hopefully be able to do some weight lifting or yoga later today. 

Bryan Kest Power Yoga 2- 51 minutes. SSH! There's a series in this where my legs feel like they are going to fall off.  Quote of the day. "Hang out with your hips...give em an opportunity to let go." (runner's stretch)

Time 1:14:02 AP 9:16

I almost didn't go because of the wind. I think it's sounds a lot worse from inside my two story house then it really is. The only time the wind bothered me was right around my house, coming and going. Left around 6am and wasn't planning on running 8 miles but decided while running since I had time. I blame the slow pace on no music and tired legs after 4 miles. Blame tired legs on either that trail run two days ago and/or yesterdays killer yoga. At mile 6 I was running down 98th (I think) and turned around to look at the sunrise, sooooo pretty. I saw a girl coming with her dog so I turned around and sped up. Made it more fun cause I was tired and bored without music or people. I don't think I've ever run that far without music. I'm trying to decide if I should use it when I'm alone in the dark. This morning I almost didn't like how I could hear every little noise cause I kept getting startled and even the leaves being blown around were scaring me. It was actually eerily quiet and still (no wind) at times depending on which direction I was running. Sunrise filled the sky the last 2 miles and it was BEAUTIFUL. Anyway...off to "Waaaaaaaalmart."
