find each others light

40 minute 10lb slim down xtreme CORE workout but it felt more like total body. 4 circuits x2 with power drills at the end of each circuit and weights on some moves. Did some new moves today which is always fun!

Chris Freytag on demand. I'm still sore from her lower body workout I did Sat.

1:10:56 AP 9:51

 Left at 6:30am and ran with Betsy and Deb. It was cold! My legs and butt were freezing. I need thicker winter running pants. Betsy always does a hard, hilly route so that's what it was. She's putting in for the Wasatch 100 lottery. She asked Deb and I if we would pace her somewhere. I think that would be really cool. It's so much easier to get up and out in the cold and dark when I know people are meeting me. Good conversation. Fun to run in the leaves. Grateful for no snow or rain this morning even though it was cold.

Going on day 2 of eating REALLY well/clean.

Time 30:30 AP 10:11

I pushed Josie in the jogger stroller in the sun and the wind. It was tough heading south and easy heading north. I just did the 11/2 mile loop twice. Cami and Sydney rode their bikes once around with me. I overdressed. It was good to get out for a bit.

40 minute Upper body xtreme 10 lb slim down on demand (Chris Freytag, I like her) I used 10 lb weights for the last circuit and it was tough (biceps). She does cardio and strength. Toughest move in the workout is prob the long levers with weights and the tricep pushups. Although, the man pushups followed my walking (side to side) pushups (I have to drop to my knees) in the first circuit are tough as well.

 Time 47:53 AP 9:34

First 3 miles with plyo and last 2 without. For the plyo runs I started at a 6.0 and worked up to an 8.0 for the last .25.

 I guess it's a good workout if I felt like throwing up a few times. I felt like a Biggest Loser contestant. Workout taken from Lean bodies website.

Plyo Runs

60 seconds of a plyometrics move between each 1/4 mile run as follows:

1/4 mile run
Squat Jumps
1/4 mile run
High Knees
1/4 mile run
Plank Jacks
1/4 mile run
Jumping Lunges

x3

Entire workout took about 60 minutes

Time 1:23:15 AP 9:48

 Left at 6am and met Deb, her dog and Betsy at the church. I don't know why Betsy always asks me to run with her cause she was way ahead of me the whole time. Whatever. Betsy's speedy, Deb has surges and is in front of me and then behind me. Her dog always wants to stay with Betsy so he was pulling her up a hill so she let him off his leash so he could go catch Betsy and he ran off to some other poor runner who seemed nervous about a loose dog. Betsy takes us on hilly routes and I'm usually in front of Deb on the hills.

 I want to take Betsy on my 8 mile run next time cause she wears me out climbing up, up and up. By the time we come down my legs are trashed from the hills. BUT, it's all good for me and I'm so grateful for friends who get up early and invite me to run with them cause that's when I have to exercise. I may be losing Josie's nap time soon:(

Deb stayed with me and was a good listener this morning as I complained about some things that kept me up at 4am. Well, two kids kept me up but then I couldn't turn my brain off and was worried about things... anyway, good therapy run. We also talked about a new book she just bought that I just finished reading called The Entitlement Trap by Richard Eyre. Good parenting book.

My left foot is sore when I walk on it and was sore at the end of this run. I hurt it doing 10 lb slim down lower body last week during some power drill move.

Went alone at 7am. So nice to run with some light. I ran around both parks today. Twice up flat iron. The leaves were all over the path. It was beautiful. So glad it's warming up a little right now (12:45 noon)

Slept in and went alone. I've been SO tired and going to bed around 9:45 or 10pm.  Even going to bed early I've been sleeping in till 6:45am and getting out late. I should get up earlier so I can go farther but...I don't feel like it.

I'm thinking about the St. George half cause my friend from Vegas is running it and my sister wants to do it. We'll see.

Listened to the Eclipse soundtrack since I don't have the new one yet.

So glad I got this done today!

I did 3 miles (TM) in 28:37 during the plyo run portion. AP 9:32

I was going to do a cool down mile and ran half of it at 6.0 but then was sick of running TM so I took it up gradually to 8.0. AP 9:12.
