No workout for me today, but a great day for Sophia who competed in the USATF Junior Cross Country State Championships. I am hoping that she will write a race report soon. It was a great experience for her. We weren't quite sure how she would do because basketball season has started (her other great passion) and so her running has decreased but not halted.

The meet brought a lot of talent from St. George. A new club called the Red Rock Racers pretty much dominated! Sophia has raced some of these girls in the USATF junior track and field circuit and they are awesome! Sophia ended up taking 3rd in state with a 13:09 (3K). Not her best time but pretty amazing considering her focus has been on basketball since the All County Meet a few weeks ago. I was worried how she would handle taking 3rd. My worrying was not needed. She was disappointed that she did not win but handled it like a champ. The girl who took first was the same girl Sophia beet in the 1500 meters in the USATF track and field regional championship by 3 seconds. Sophia and her get along great and already have a mutual respect for each other. This girl runs for the Red Rock Racers and apparently they run 4 miles a day 6 days a week all year round. Pretty dedicated bunch of kids!

Sophia qualified for nationals but doesn't feel compelled to go this year. I'm pretty sure that Sophia's favorite part of the day is when they announced that she was unattached and then the commentator stated, "I can't believe that. Some coach better snag her quickly." We have talked about getting her into a competitive club but she loves being "unattached." She cracks me up! :)

Today has been a GREAT day. This morning I had a court date. Although this may sound crazy, even stupid, to some, I decided to legally change my name. Although I LOVE my husband and his last name, I have really missed mine. So, for my 40th birthday present I got my maiden name (Aguirre) back (without getting rid of Jensen). :)

My legal name as of today is:

Teena Marie Aguirre-Jensen

WaHoo!!! :) I love it!!! :)

I love Wednesday mornings, much more conducive for a good workout. Plus, I felt super strong this morning which seems surprising since yesterday I felt so tired.

8 miles: 2 miles warm up, 3 miles @ 6:56 (which is awesome for me, even if it was on a treadmill), 1 mile super easy, 1 mile @ 6:36 (really had to push) and 1 mile cool down.

ST: UE/core

- dips

- push-ups with feet on BOSU

- push - ups with dumbbell rows

- plank on BOSU

- side plank Ts with dumbbells for shoulder external rotation throughout

- rows with black TB tubing

- lat pulses with black TB tubing

- chin ups

Felt great to get in a good upper body work out, I needed it!

Happy Wednesday, All. :)

Considering the wind I was super happy to be on the treadmill this morning. I was a little worried this morning in my cute little Prius C. I felt as if I might have been easily carried away with each gust of wind. Crazy!

Happy Happy Friday!!! :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE having Smo at the gym running on the treadmill beside mine ... even if it is only for a couple of miles. With that said I think I may start choosing a treadmill in the row behind hers so that I can better try and imitate her beautiful running form! Who knew I would be craving running lessons from my own daughter!? :)

Yoga

I think I may be freakin' out a little with only having a few weeks of course work left. Not sure why this stresses me out. I think it may be the subconscious thought of having to be completely responsible for a patient's care. I find myself getting excited but nervous when I think about it. I hope that is normal. :)

Hence, I will likely be throwing more yoga, mindful breathing and valerian tea into my week! Ha! :)
