Work work work work....

 July 31 - 4 miles
August 2 - 8.53 miles
August 5 - 3.59 miles
August 6 - 20 Min AMRAP 65# all - 7 cleans, 7 push press, 7 back squats, 200m run (I ran my driveway twice in a circle which was 700ft so a little longer than 200m), I did 5 full rounds, not super quick but I'll take it!

Change!

So many things have changed in my life in the last 2 year, including forgetting about this blog that I barely ever used.  The biggest change is that we have our little rainbow baby!!!! He was born 6 months ago and my heart is so full <3  I've continued to run since my last post, just not on a daily basis.  Since having the new babe I've been getting back into working out regularly, I did work out until about November but I had to stop running at 22 weeks during a Ragnar because the round ligament pain was way to intense while pregnant.  The good news is that my first longish run post baby was in May maybe, and I ran 7 miles no problem, just slower.   Tomorrow I plan on doing a local 4 mile race if the stars align.  I'm about 20lbs heavier than I was 2 years ago (post baby weight) so that slows me down a bit, I'm hoping all 20lbs of that is boobs and boob juice haha!  Anyway, I am going to use this as a running workout blog and try and keep myself accountable to get back in great shape post baby :)

Aug 24, 2015 - Streak Day 110

I made it past 100 days of streaking, woot woot! My only problem is fitting in a run longer than a mile most days... not good especially since I have a big race coming up next weekend. I haven't ran longer than 9 miles, and that 9 miler was in July and it was rough. So I'm prepared to want to die during the race lol. It's the 18.12 Challenge and this will be my 3rd year running it. So yeah, we will see how it goes next week. I'm still going to try and finish in under 3 hours like I did last year. This is going to be pure mental grit.

Streak day 73 Woot woot! Only 292 days to hit a year lol, no big deal.  I ran the boilermaker and it was rough, I felt horrible.  I hadn't been training any distance longer than 3 miles and I didn't eat enough, and it was the dreaded day one of my cycle (yeah TMI sorry but for women it is the worst day to work out, you have zero energy). Regardless, I finished in 1:31:30 I think? A minute slower than last year dammit haha!  That was my third Boilermaker yay!  Next up the 18.12 Challenge for the third time.  time to start training for real.

2015

Sooooo yep I haven't written in a really long time, obviously. I went through a slump in the late winter/early spring where I was still working out all the time, but, not running. So in May I started streaking, running at least a mile every day. It's been 66 days now as of the run I just finished, and I haven't counted the days until today because I just didn't want to make a big deal out of it. I haven't ran more than 6 miles at a time, and that was only once. Most days it's 3 miles or less, there have been a lot of 1 miler days. But, at least I'm running, right?


Streak - 66
2015 miles - 250.90

Laundry.  I've been thinking a lot about who I am and what explains who I am.  The answer is laundry.  I have more dirty laundry than anyone in our house.  Some days I go through 3 or 4 different outfits. Today, for example, I discard my pjs and change into running clothes.  I go for my run and it's cold, really cold. It's week 3 of marathon training and well I really haven't been doing much running so I've got to start getting up early to make sure I have time to do it.  My eyelashes had ice cubes (balls?) on them. It was pretty rough.  Anyway, I get done and those clothes go in the dirty laundry.  Next in the basket, my dirty towel.  This afternoon I get to change into crossfit clothes and workout at home, followed by another shower and towel.  Then I'll probably toss on jeans and t-shirt and that will be it for the day.  Some days though, I add in zumba and right there I have an entire load of laundry all for me.  I think I need a live in maid.  What's this say about me? I work out, a lot.  I love to work out.  I'm passionate about it.  I'll try any workout once, and I enjoy mixing it up and being challenged.  I'm now starting my third year running and I don't foresee any quitting in the future!  Run fast, run hard, run on!

Frozen #2

Ran the second frozen foot 4 miler on January 11, 2015.  It was so cold and slippery!! My time was 32:57 I think.  I tried to get the crossfit crew to go, but they chickened out because of the weather.  The next frozen foot is about a week away, if I remember correctly.  After finishing the next one we get our t-shirts!
