1230

I ran 2 miles today.... I don't usually run on Thursdays. I usually do Yoga. The Yoga gal from the Y is out of town.

I noticed yesterday, that if I ran 2 miles today, (Thur) then I would be at 1,230 miles for the year of 2009. So I ran 2 miles on the treadmill. I thought about running 6 miles, then my number would be 1234, but I am planning on 10 miles tomorrow, for the 10 for '10. (You know... to celebrate 2010)..... so I didn't want to push the miles today.

I was planning/hoping to get around to posting about all my marathons in 2009.... not sure I am in the mood. Sorry. So this is what you get.

Happy New Year to you all. Be safe and happy.

yay me... and Holiday GU?

So a woot woot and a YAY me... I ran 8 miles on the treadmill pain free today. I felt so awesome. I really wanted to keep running, but knew I shouldn't push it. After my last post about running pain free, I ran a little more, and it was NOT pain free. So I have been really down and annoyed. I am just counting down the days till me Doc apt. (29Th) This was the furthest I have run since my marathon in Oct. We will see what tomorrow shall bring. Lets hope more pain free workouts.So Tall mom is hosting yet again another GREAT giveaway. I love GU. I actually use Roctane GU. I feel like it keeps me head strong longer while running long. Anyways, Tall Mom is giving away some Holiday flavored GU. So yummy. Go check her out here.

POP goes the ankle????

I WANT TO THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM. MY ANKLE IS STILL HURTING WHILE I RUN. TODAY WHILE RUNNING ( on the dreadmill) I WAS IN PAIN.... UNTIL ABOUT MILE 2.8, THEN OUT OF THE BLUE, POP.... FOR REAL, IT WAS LIKE A POP, OR SNAP OF THE ANKLE, THEN THE REMAINING 1.2 MILES I RAN PAIN FREE. W-T-H- PAIN FREE? AFTER A POP?... NOT SURE WHY, BUT I DID.

SO I FINALLY CALLED THE FOOT DOC.... MY APT IS NOT TILL DEC 29TH. DAMN. I HAVE TO WAIT 2 WEEKS... YET I FINALLY MADE THE LEAP TO CALLING FOR AN APT... WHICH IS HUGE FOR ME, CAUSE I H-A-T-E SEEING THE DOC.

For Tall Mom.....

I am terrible. Remember about a month ago when I won Tall Mom's, Brooks for her giveaway and I won this super cute pink running jacket? Well I have not blogged about receiving it, or posted a pic of me wearing it. Every time I think about taking a pic, it is me and the 4 yr old. I really have had her practice her photography skills on me in my killer jacket, but have never liked the photo's... so, this morning I finally just snapped one of myself in the mirror. I realize I covered my face... on purpose, (just woke up) and the mirror has a crack (where it opens) down the middle. So basically a terrible shot... but here it is anyways. I love the jacket. It is super comfy, I love to wear it to and from the Gym. I haven't tried running in it yet. I might try that tomorrow. Happy Wednesday.

* Yesterdays HBBC points
Boot camp for 75 min = 4 pts
15 min on the elliptical= 1 pt
* Today's HBBC points
Spinning for 45 min = 3 pts
3 mile run = 3 pts

what a random thing to do.... and I did it.

My workout agenda for today was as follows:

45 Spinning (3 HBBC pts)
3-5 miles on the treadmill... ended up going only 3, had a bit of pain (3 HBBC pts)
15 min of abs (1/2 HBBC pt)
15 min on the elliptical (1 pt)
7 1/2 HBBC pts


So this morning I went to Spin class, it was wonderful, as usual. I love it. Kicks my trash. Then because it was raining outside and I am still trying to get over this cold/sinus infection I decided to run on the treadmill. As I got about 4 min in, I was feeling a bit of ankle pain again, not to bad, but I decided to jump off to the sides and massage and stretch my ankle area. As I looked down, I noticed I was wearing 2 DIFFERENT running shoes. They are both Pink and Both Asics. Oh my word, I was so embarrassed. I turned to my friend who was on the treadmill next to me and pointed it out. She claims you could barely tell a difference. What a strange and weird thing to do/happen. Only me... I swear if my head wasn't attached, I would lose it all the time.
