Trail Running Granny

 Oh, yes!  You read that right!  18 big ones!!! I had both of my morning appts. cancel on me and so I had a free morning.  I took Odee to the PR trail and ran in the snow with him.  When we got to the point of the mountain it was super windy, it felt like hundreds of needles were shooting into my face. It snowed the whole time I was running.  I ran back to the car at about 10 miles and put Odee in the car and had a sip of diet coke and ran  the trail out another mile and half and then back. I thought 13 would be a good run for today, but when I got home and didn't know what else to do ( I live a pretty boring life) I changed into dry clothes and ran up to Wasatch Blvd, and then along the Blvd. and back down for another 5.  I felt pretty good.  It took me 3:57 for the whole 18.  I am going to try for 40 miles this week.  Now off to see what you all did today!!!

Tonight Maurine and I are going to sign up for the Grand Slam and then go to dinner!!!  What a fun day!!!

Recovery day!  I did msucle-up and then walked around the indoor track for one mile.  I came home and tried the Yoga on channel 9 that one of my clients recommended and made it 6 minutes. Done.  My body does not move that way. I think I need to go to class where I am trapped there for 1 hour and modify modify modify!!!! 

Okay, I went over to the spa and did a yoga class, lots of modifying but I got thru it and feel great!

The plan was to meet Maurine at 5:30 am to do speedwork, but I just wasn't feeling up to it after my 18 miler Monday, and Maurine had run 10.50 last night so she was okay with an easy run. I say easy run, the pace looks slow on paper, but it felt hard, it was cold and we had head winds and my legs were still pretty wiped out.

Crash and Burn!!  I ate so few calories yesterday that I woke up really weak, went to the gym and struggled thru 2 wimpy miles..... BUT  I did drop one pound!  I just ate a bowl of whole wheat cereal with berries and nuts and I feel great.  That's it for me today I have a super busy day.  Off to beautify the world, one head at a time!!!  :)

Biggest Loser Contest week #5   3 pounds

Happy Valentines Day Eve!!!   I am still a little low on energy, I think my 18 miler  Mon.  kicked my fanny more than I thought it would.  I just did 3 miles on the treadmill.  I am hoping I can get up enough  "umph" tomorrow to do 8 or 9 miles. 

Another busy day and then babysitting grandkids tonight.  Are we allowed to put Tylenol pm in their Cheerios?

For my work out today I went to the Cheesecake Factory and ate  the Thai Lettuce Wraps with my honey and shared a Carrot Cake Cheesecake.  And then for my cross training I went and saw " He's Just Not That Into YOU"  Perfect day! 

Happy Valentines Day to everyone!!!!!  I need more chocolate!!!
