W00t - It's Friday!!!

I'm in a good mood, it's Friday, I got my first check with my raise in it and my honey is coming back tomorrow from Brazil, we miss him terribly. Plus I lost a pound this week and get to drink tonight! Heh

Did P90X Legs & Back and Ab Ripper this morning.

Duration: 66:40

Calories burned: 358

I am also planning on a 3 mile run at lunch so that will put me at 6 AP's today.

Tired Thursday

*yawn* I am sooo tired of getting up at the asscrack of dawn by Thursday. I pretty much want to give Tony Horton a big roundhouse kick to the temple.

Anywho, I did Yoga X this morning. Not one of my favorites! I like the stretching, and I know it's supposed to give you strength and flexibility but it doesn't burn many calories. He is constantly stressing how important it is to do it. I would have rather run 4 miles but I'm trying to do the program like it was designed.

Duration: 50:05

Calories burned: 205

I got Tagged!

I was tagged by Al and Yas, I didn't even know what tagging was! LOL Well I'll answer the questions, but I'm not going to tag anyone else, because I think all the running peeps from WeWa have already been tagged.

1. How would you describe your running 10 years ago?

I used to run just to keep the pounds off, which quite frankly, was much easier to do at 27 than at 37! I definitely didn't do it competitively and never even dreamed of running in a race.

2. What is your best/worst running experience?

My best would have to be my first race, the Latrobe Rock N Run 5 mile run in June 2006. It was my first race ever, and I was so proud of myself. I never thought that I could do it. My time was 46:23 (9:17) and I thought that was pretty good for my first race.

My worst running experience was the 2008 Cook Forest Half Marathon. I did not dress appropriately for the race and it really affected my run. It was about 32 degrees when the race started, and I had a short sleeve shirt on. I know, I know how fucking stupid of me. That's me, never prepared!

3. Why do you run?

I run for many reasons...to stay in shape, keep the weight off and mostly for my sanity. It is my time and my thing, nobody else can take it away from me. It makes me feel strong and determined and I'm always amazed by what I can accomplish if I put my mind to it.

4. What is the best or worst piece of running advice that you've been given about running?

I would have to say to get good running shoes.

5. Tell us something surprising about yourself that not many people would know.

Hell I don't know, I am an open book, there is not much that peeps don't know! I guess that despite my prissy appearance (as my sister would say) I'm very much like a guy, I am athletic, love to watch and play sports and of course drink beer. My husband's friends think I'm the perfect wife.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Having a super busy morning, just running through with a quick post.

No running today, I need to run errands at lunch today. Did P90X Back & Biceps and Ab Ripper this morning:

Crazy Tuesday

I hate when my mornings start off with my 4 year old having a meltdown about going to school, which is what he did this morning. Yesterday I picked him up from daycare and he cried because he wasn't ready to go home! WTF? Make up your mind already!

Then I get to work and have to rush around taking care of everyone else's Emergencies that they didn't plan for...grrr.

Anywho, I drug myself out of bed this morning to do P90X Plyometrics. I keep waiting for this workout to get easier...nope, still painful!

Duration: 57:11

Calories Burned: 313

I'm also planning a 3 mile run at lunch so that will put me at 6 AP's today.

Week 6

I am officially on Week 6 of P90X so almost halfway through! I am definitely seeing results and hope to get better results in the next 6 weeks. I wore a swimsuit for the first time this year yesterday, and definitely felt better in it than last year, even though my weight is basically the same. The scale is a liah! LOL

Did P90X Chest, shoulders and triceps this morning (56:13, 212 calories), will be running 3 miles at lunch and will be doing Ab Ripper after work. This should put me at 6 AP's for the day.

I hate Mondays! Especially after a busy weekend. My honey is in Brazil until Saturday on business, I hate when he's out of town on the weekends.

Glorious Day of Rest!

Sunday, my one day of rest! I needed it. It is so fucking hot in Pittsburgh right now. I took Brayden to the park. Look at that kids poor face, he is lumped up! Another kid pushed him down at daycare and he fell on the pavement face first.

Well we were the only ones at the park due to the heat, so we went to the community pool. He had a blast! But I couldn't get him out of there....finally after 3 1/2 hours, I had to drag him out, kicking and screaming.

Why does this kid never get tired or need rest??
