Well I got thur spring quarter,finals and son graduating. It was a stressful week. I am so happy all of this is over. Now it's road trip time! My son and me are going to visit the colleges,and spend time with my best friend. I'm going to enjoy this week and a half of been out of school. Guess what I got my hair press. Which only remind me- how getting my hair press use to inter fer with me exercise. This hair style doesn't hold up well with sweating lol. Which I haven't done any of this week. Not sure if I'll keep this look up, but I do like the change. My body is shaping up and I did miss excerising last week but I was just too stress out. Which would've been a great stress reliver. But I was function on little sleep from studing,and felt it was better for me not to excerise. But I'm still trying to learn time management of incoporating this fitness in my life. I hate starting off with a great week- but hate when I don't keep it up. I'm still learning. When looking back over this week. My problem is I try to do too much and don't stick to my schedule. So yes I'm still tweaking and learning. It's always a new week.

Reflection of my week update

I started this week off with a bang. All energizes, motivated with a plan. All of that went out the door when Tuesday rolled around. For the life of me all I wanted to do was sleep. It's was like my body was deprived of sleep. I had just enough energy to get up, go to school,and come back home to take a nap. So I finally figure out that my menstrual was to start soon-but dang did it had to knock me out of commission.I was thinking it was because I was turning 38 on June 10. I figured my body was changing. So to sum of my week....I didn't accomplish any of my goals this week. I only ran 1 day,that was on Monday. A new week and new goals . Later

No energy

I didn't go running this morning. My body was so tired and I had no energy. I was so in twined in my sheets that I didn't want to move. I got dress and laid back down. Then convince myself to get back out of bed.. put on my shoes just to lay back down. I was just tooo drained. Then it hit me.. it's almost that time of the month. I've been craving soda (almost relapsed), ice cream and chocolate. Which made me think I need to start taking Iron pills. At least a week before my menstrual. Now I have to make sure that I finished this run strong. There fore I need to run Wednesday- Friday. Maybe Saturday for a make up DAY. lATER

Used the Garmin

Well this morning I woke all ready for my a.m. run. I used DH garmin to track my distance and time while running. I wanted to stop on tow occasion but didn't. I wanted my time and distance to be accurate. Well all was said and done.... the damn garmin track me as running 4.14 mile in 45 mins. That's good right? Well not for me. I was so disappointed because I ran father than that and all it said as I ran 4.14 miles. I do know I ran 4.3 mile and then some. After down loading my run DH found out that the garmin inaccurate track my run. Some how it lost some of my time. I felt better after finding that out.

So I'll have to redo the run to find out how far my distance is. Because as you know from the last post I push myself to run farther. I want to know the correct distance. Well I'm off to class and hopeful to the gym. Will update later about my gym experience. Happy Training and finish your day strong!!!!!!

Trying to convience myself to not go running

I really want to go running today. But I think I need to rest and prepare myself for next week. So instead I'm going to focus this energy on washing my hair, go weigh myself at the gym, take measurement and study for my final for the upcoming week.

My goal for next week
Run 6 miles
do Abs work every day( this will be a challenge)
weight train (Monday, Wednesday & Friday)

Review for the week

Overall I think I did great. I ran 4 days out of 7. My goal was to run Monday - Friday, taking Saturday and Sunday off. I had intention on adding weight training but fail on that goal. I blame that on poor time management. Which doesn't make any since considering I could hit the gym right after school. I think having a weekly schedule help me keep focus,and make me stick to a routine. So I'm excited about next week. DH bought him the Garmin® Forerunner® 405. He want to get me one so I can keep track of my run. If he doesn't use his Monday I think I'll try it out to see how I do on my run. Enough of the rambling.... Finish Strong and reach for your goals.

Happy Training!

6 miles

Yesterday rest was well much needed. However,it was time to get back into the run of things. I was ready to feel the wind behind my back lol. The weather was perfect!! Very cool but I still burst a sweat which is a great thing.. Guess what? I push myself and ran 6 miles today. At least according to DH. However, I'm going to double check on that. Instead of stopping at the 4.3 mile mark I kept going. It was pretty easy by then my breathing was smoother,and my speed was faster. Everything had fallen into place. As I was running I was thinking okay it's time to up the states. Now if you make it around the airfield,and keep going to the light you need to set this as your goal for next week. So there you have it.

My goal for next week
Run 6 miles
do Abs work every day( this will be a challenge)
weight train (Monday, Wednesday & Friday)

Happy training!

Taking the Day off

I decided to take the day off from running. My body is just too tired. Although my body has fallen into the runner fever mode. But at the same time I need to train, and be smart about it. Don't want to have any injuries that would put me out of commission. The great thing is my body wake up like clock work. So until then Happy Training!

update: Just coming back to say that I was craving for a soda today. I was able to conquer the thirst by drinking some green tea. Also, my body is so rested that I look forward to running tomorrow. I can't wait!

Positive thoughts in Negative thoughts out

It's 5:39 a.m. and I'm off for my morning run. I'm not feeling this run but I'm going anyway. My mind is trying to convince me out of it, but each time I think about my goals. So I'm pushing on.. Positive thoughts in Negative thoughts out. Well I'm back from my run. I decided to compromise by doing 2 miles instead of 4.3 miles. Once I got started it I felt great. My mind was pushing me to go 4 miles; but my body wasn't hearing it.It was like naw we stopping at the two mile mark. It was a great short run!! Finish Strong.

Happy Training

So far so good

Despite the fact, that I head out to run at 6:00 a.m.(due to DH going to PT at that time)I was all motivate and ready to go running. I think I like running better around 5a.m. The weather is much cooler than. By 6:30 I was sweating profusely. However I didn't let that stop me. I'm so focus this week. My goal is to run Monday-Friday. My overall run was great and again I finished without stopping. Although my body wanted to stop on two occasion, but I kept going.

As I was running, I was thinking about things I need to Incorporated in my exercise. For starters, come up with a well balance clean eating menu/ do abs work since this is the biggest area of concern. My goal is also not to drink any sodas or pop. As of today since June began It's been two days No soda!!!!! Oh Yeah!!!!! I know I can go without sodas. But the thing is I've went 3 months without drink any, then all of a sudden I start carving one and sabotage myself. I'm feeling good about my accomplishment and strive to continue it. Off to school. Later

Happy Training

New Month, New Focus & New Goal

Happy June!!!! Today is a new Month and I'm focus on new goals. It's 4:44 a.m. and I'm headed out to do an early 4.3 mile run. I'm feeling energetic about my run. But unsure about what I have on. Since the weather is warming up I've decided to run in shorts and a short sleeve shirt. I usually have on long workout pants,a shirt and a long sleeve top with a hat. But I'll test it out to see how it go. Later!

update : Well I'm back from my run. I actually left the house at 5:30a.m. due to DH. Although I woke him up at 4:15 a.m. to see if he was going running. He said yes give me 5 min. Okay 5 mins turn into 20 mins. Then he started to complain "why you getting up so early to go running?" "why can't we go at 6?" Told DH I don't have time for any complaints... either you going or not? Don't make me any difference because I'm going regardless with or without you.He finally got out of bed.

My overall run was great. I kept a steady pace and ran without stopping. I can say running in shorts, and just a shirt was very comfortable.



Happy Training!
