No Daily Doubles

Okay...I came to my senses. This is the last week of school, I have hours of grading left, and I said that I wouldn't start double workouts til next week. I decided that doubles while still working was being obsessive and since that is what I am working on...I have cancelled them. I will put my run up later today. I do have to go to the gym early again tomorrow though because of the doctor's appointment after work, followed by an end of the school year party.

Besides...I am exhausted again!

Daily Doubles

Today is the first day of my double workout routine. My goal is to get double workouts in at least 3 days per week for the next 2.5 weeks. Hyperventilation caused me to miss my workout yesterday so I went running at 3:30 this morning (at the gym of couse...it was 28 degrees here this morning!). Will post the picture of my run later today when I run the second one. I am confident that my legs are ready for the 13 miles....not so certain about the lungs. I am breaking down and going to the doctor on Thursday in hopes of getting some help in the hyperventilation department. I was going to go to urgent care last night, but frankly I was too tired and not in the mood to see a doctor I didn't know. I figured I could wait 2 days to see my doctor. So DH bought a bottle of wine in hopes that it would relax me enough to sleep. Oh boy did it. I had a half glass of wine and it threw me for a loop. I went to bed at 6PM and only woke up once!!! That is the first time that I haven't woken up every hour in a week! Might try it again tonight.

Rug...I mean Run Burn

OWWWWWWEEEEEEEE! My run went pretty well today despite the hyperventilating (actually I didn' t have too much of a problem most of the run), but I did end up with several very nasty run burns. My running shorts are waaaaaayyyy too big and my "spanx" like garments are getting too big as well so after running for 2+ hours today the chaffing really started to hurt. This is my upper thigh.

So despite running 11 miles, my knees don't hurt, my hips don't hurt, my calves don't hurt, but this 2 inch by 2 inch piece of flesh is about to bring me to my knees. We got some bag balm to put on it cause it is excruciating. The picture shows the worst one, but I also have one on my arm, on the other thigh and under both breasts. DAMN LOOSE SKIN!

I ran 11 straight miles, though I think something went funky with my nike+ because even though I ran slow at 9 miles...I didn't think I ran THAT slow.

Yesterday I did 7 miles. Again something funky with the nike+.

Tomorrow is a rest day and then I need to get 5 miles every day running at least 3 of them...preferably 4.

Mad at Nike+

It is not logging my runs in my challenge...grrr. It owes me 9+ miles!!!!!

Photo Shoot!

My doc is having me do a photo shoot so that I can be featured on their website, their newsletter and possibly in an advertisement campaign! HOW SWEEET! The photo shoot will be August 11 so I am hoping that I will be mostly healed from the TT!

This week is a NIGHTMARE with my schedule. I am going to go running tomorrow morning (at like 3:45 AM), go to work, then go running/walking again after work to get in my miles. There is no way that I am getting it done tonight. I am exhausted from the drive yesterday and working all day today AND running the bean bag toss at the Senior Carnival for the school. UGH..someday teaching sucks ass...today would be that day.

Well I have to figure out how to get 400 calories in my by the time I go to bed in 1 hour. I guess drinking olive oil would always do the trick...

Here is my run from yesterday. I was again working on speed so that is why it cycles pace.

Busy week...grrr

Okay so why can't everyone just schedule activities around MY schedule. Yesterday was a rest day...and my legs need it. Today I have to drive to WA to stay with my brother for my dr. appt tomorrow. Depending on how late it is when I get there...I might go running tonight. I am going to go running tomorrow morning before the dr. appt. Then I will drive 6 hours home. The next day I need to run as well...but I will have a lab to set up that morning and will not be able to go in the morning. After school I am helping with graduation stuff until 6:30 and don't know if I will have enough energy to run after that. Then finally Friday I should have no problem getting my workout in. Saturday needs to be a rest day and then Sunday I MUST run 11 miles/walk 1.

Dang it...LJM and Catalyst are catching up!!!

UNDER 30!

I did it...I did it...I did it! 29:45...and we have pictures to prove it. Just not right now. They are on DH's non-digital camera. I think we are taking them to Fred Meyers to get them developed. Look at how constant my pace was!!! And there were 2 major hills and at higher elevation.

As for the after race run...it didn't go so well. My legs were TIRED! SO I walked/ran (mostly walked) 6.25 more miles. I only got to a little over 9 miles today but is still over 25 for the week so I am happy with that. I don't have any more 5K's so now it is JUST the half marathon to prepare for. Next week we will be back to the canyon and back to training. Tomorrow is my rest day and I need it. My legs are VERY sore. Today is supposed to be a free day but I only burned a little over 1000 calories so I don't know how "free" I am going to allow it. Normally on my "free" days I burn 1400. I am convincing myself that I will be just fine!
