running

i ran before work today
it didn't go well.
i don't think i'll do it again
or if i do i won't have worked out the night before almost right before I went to bed.

i'm up
and i'm so tired
i can either go running or go to work early

i gave pb a haircut today
i went to the mall today.

i didn't do what i thought I should do.

32:37

first mile 9:20
2nd mile 10:26
3rd mile 11:35
last .1 mile 2:16

i get worse as i go. need some endurance.

nap

i was just trying to reveiw for the GMAT
i read how to do 2 qestions. then i took a 2.5 hour nap.

I just signed up for a 5k race in aw eek
at the momen thte max i've done is 2 miles. so i'm 2/3 there. this probably is a little too soon. oi

today the entire time i worked out i just wanted to stop and leave. not a good sign

i lifted weights today.
it was hard.
it was too quiet in the gym. i felt i was being stared at. i couldn't take it.
i didn't finish my workout.

I had a stmapin' up party tonight. It went long. It was fun. We had chicken salad first. Dave made the chicken. it was very good.
My craft room is too messy. i almost can't work at all under these conditions.

I have been busy this week so far. I didn't even bring my work computer home the past 3 days!

we went to see the hangover today. it was such a funny movie. best one i've seen in awhile.
i have a ton to do but at least i thought thoughts of that comedy in my mind while i'm getting things done.

i'm mad
stressed
worked up
depressed
upset

ugh
so many things

and i'm hungry and i didn't eat lunch yet.

the other day i found the ice pack in the fridge.


only 2 more days working in monroeville.

i don't understand how i can use an ice pack. go for a run and totally misplace the ice back.

today i stretched and forgot to stretch my groin. well then after 6 laps my groin hurt and i had to limp . shows ya how stretching helps

my knee hurts today because i did the body pump class and i think i went down to low on those squats or something and we did so many of them.

today i ran must faster early on but still only ran 30 seconds faster than yesterday (for 2 miles)

but now that i analyze it last time i wote stuff down every so often and still had the timer running. so yesterday was probably better. sigh

dave made fun of how i write what i did down. he said can't you just do # of laps and overall time. nope. i need to improve all my splits. sheesh.

we went to olive garden last night.
i didn't get salad but i got soup. i didn't even finish the bowl. i spent too much time eating 90% of the appetizer. so good.
i almost didn't touch my meal but didn't want it to look that way so i ate 3 bites of chicken and a few bites of the potatoes

i stayed up past my bedtime

we watched the penguin game taped so we didn't start it until 9:30 or so. We could fast forward through intermissions so we only ended about an hour late

today

i took a 20 min walk during work (2pm)

went to the gym around 3:45 and was done walking to the car after at 5:15 so i got probably an hr and 15 of weights

then i got home and we went to the track. 2.5 miles in 30 m in. the track was rough because i had upped all my weights at the gym so i couldn't open my stride as much as i want. like i ran an 800 in 5 min instead of 4 min

i did an 800, 1200, 200 walking, 600, 200 (walking), 600, 200 (walking), then cooldown. = 10 laps

instead of buying a wedding card timmy bought a smypathy card for the wedding that we went to yesterday.

and i let dave pick the amount we were going to give.
he gave something that ended in 26 cents. i laughed so hard. i fell over. i said that was something timmy would do.
then timmy said that his was ending in 64 cents.
oh man

gift

i just put together a gift for gram
too bad there aren't any holidays coming up so i'll just give it to her and then when it's holiday time i'll be out of ideas.

man was i tired tonight
i am tired now
i barely made it through dinner

i almost didn't go to the gym. but then i went and worked out for an hour adn 45 min and my face turned beat red. it was so hot in the gym today.

i signed up to take the gmat.
i'm already getting stressed.
i take it in about a month and a half.

shoes

i wore my new shoes today . well one of the pairs.
they are pointy.
i felt like a witch.
but the heels were comfortable. they were bigger than i normally buy but actually the size my foot measures. they have ankle straps so then i don't flop around
i think they were a 4" heel
so now tomorrow it's back to my flats but at least i got to be tall for a day.

oh and i really am sick of going right to the track after i finish eating and the last 2 times i even ate too much.

i try so hard

i try so hard to count. i really do. i just can't seem to do it. just like in cross country when we did those fartlick (sp) things where you run, walk, and jog and repeat. and i could do the 1 min of this 2 of that 3 of that but i couldn't tell you how many sets of those 3 things i did. i never could.

today we were at the track 30 min. counting walking to and from the car and taking 3 min to stretch
i really didn't know if i did 7 8 9 or 10 laps
we decided it wasn't 7
and it wasn't 10
i ran a 400. stretched
ran a 400
walked 100
run 100
a laaop of stuff (i can't even remember that)
then i started running a mile at 16:02
26:40 i finished running said mile (that's 4 laps there and i ran straight through so that i could count. the first 2 laps were at 5 min 1 second so it looks like my pace slowed)
then walked the last half lap and to the car and that took almost 4 min.
so 14 min = 4.5 laps
how many laps were there in 13 min (stretching was 3 min). i ran faster at the beginning i learned when i walk between things and walk 100 m that i do that in 1 min so if i walked it all i'm on pace for a 16 min mile.
first lap was liek 2 min
then i stretched
then 2 min 10 seconds for the next 400
so now i have 6.5 laps accounting for and 9 min left.

i'm guessing i did 9 lap. who knows though

i listened to the ipod today. the arm band fits now. i guess i got a fat enough arm now.
today i ran a 200 somewhere in there and i did that in 53 seconds. so that's pretty good. faster than half my 400 time but slower than double my 100 time.

it was raining today and 50 degrees.
