All Things Running

Workout:  Shoulders and Triceps video then 1 mile warm-up, 5 x 400 meter repeats with 45 seconds rest.  This was my first speed workout in a looooong time.  I was so dead after that I couldn't even run my cool down.  UGH!

All running things today on the blog!!

1.  New tunes on my "Run" playlist -  

Don't by Ed Sheeran - Oh my gosh!!  I love this song!!!  The beat is really fun although the lyrics  are quite sad.  Apparently it is about his relationship with Ellie Goulding and how she cheated on him (with one of the members of One Direction).  Poor guy!!  Thanks  for making a great song out of it though!;)

Shake it Off by Taylor Swift - Fun!  Fun!  Fun!! 

Young Volcanos by Fall Out Boy - Ok, so I thought this song was new until I looked it up and
 found out it was released last November.   Geesh!  Where have I been??  Oh well, it is new to me,
 and I love working out to it!

2.  Runderpants!!!
I've seen these around and have been tempted several times to buy a pair.  Moisture wicking undies?? Well, ok, I do live in FL now and I sweat A LOT down there!!  I found these at T.J. Maxx for only $5.99 (normally $18) and couldn't pass up the steal!  As far as wicking the sweat I suppose they do a pretty decent job.  BUT, they totally ride up, and it is quite embarrassing to try and pick a huge wedgie while running down the street!!  I've got a little ghetto J. Lo  booty so they might be perfect for a normal sized rear.  I'm a little bummed because they are so stinkin' cute, (I know - no one sees them but me) and the bright orangeish/pinkish matches my Saucony running hat.  Fun, right?  Maybe the hipsters instead of the briefs would be better for my butt??
      


3.  Mother/Daughter workouts

We only get to do these on the weekends.  Lylas rides her bike along side me while I run.  Then, when we get home she runs around the block with me.  


Oh my gosh!  She is so cute;)  I'm so glad I have an active little girl that loves to be out and about with her momma!!

    You mean you don't listen to "I could sing of your love forever" when you run?

Summer Races

Workout:  3 miles easy - 100% humidity and dew point of 76!!  UGH!! Since fall is here in just a few days I thought I should throw my summer races up on the blog while it is still officially summer!!;) I was pumped about my summer races.  I had a good workout plan in my mind, and I was going to break 23 minutes!!  I was so determined!  Well, I thought I was so determined.  But, I guess I wasn't that  determined because things fell apart pretty quick.  There was vacation, and then our cruise, and then traveling up to Illinois.  And although I could have run during all these events, well,  I didn't.  OOPS!! Fisher Fair 5k I ran this race with my brother, and this was his first race in 20 years!!  It was really cool to run it with him, and to see him get back into running.  I actually only ran "with him" for about 7 steps, and then he took off. Mile 1 -7:34  Yeah, way too fast.  I'm actually pretty good a...

Kick Him in the Face REAL Hard!

Now, remember, this made the list of top 10 things I hate.  And wouldn't you know I now have to do a lot of it.  After weeks of insane knee pain I finally made an appointment to see a sports medicine doctor over at the Sports Enhancement Center.  Turns out I have severe tendonitis in my knee, being caused by my hamstring, due to lack of flexibility.  The doctor told me to quit running completely for a month, and he told me I was overweight.  (LOOOONG story about that.  Maybe I'll have a post on it sometime.)  I then proceeded to cry which caused a very awkward moment (more so for him than me...you should have seen the look on his face).  So three days after my post about hating stretching and cross training it's thrown right in my face.  I am stretching everyday and doing the elliptical for an hour every morning.  I have a race next weekend that I'm running even though the doctor said not to.  Going against the doctor's orders is my...

- 41

Workout:  8 miles/1:25:02 It takes 9 months to put the weight on, and it took 9 months and 6 days to get the weight off.  FINALLY!!!!!!  I am at my pre-Orlando weight.  I gained 40 whopping pounds during my second pregnancy, and I am ecstatic to say that I have now lost 41.  I worked extremely hard to get that darn baby weight off, and there were several times I didn't think I was going to be able to do it.  Thankfully, my determination won in the end.  I have expressed before on my blog that I am not a healthy eater.  Junk food is my good friend, and fruits and veggies are evil gross!! (Okay, not ALL fruits, but pretty much ALL veggies are evil.) So how did I do it?  I cut out a lot of carbs.  Not completely, but I closely monitored my carb intake.  I limited my Coke and McDonald's Sweet Tea splurges and tried to drink these sugary beverages only on weekends.  I discovered Crystal Light Pink Lemonade which I drink during th...
