Might need a wheelchair tomorrow!

I have been working out like crazy and eating healthy for four days.  I hit the gym with my sis yesterday and today. We worked out with her personal trainer both days.  Right now I can't move my arms above my head and my butt muscles are spasming.  I am pretty sure that tomorrow I won't be able to walk....but if I am just a little smaller and a little stronger by the end of next week, it will all be worth it! Two more trainer sessions next week, and then Sat.  is the first group run with the marathon trainers!

Crash

I tried to be good and get in a work out this morning.  A friend showed up with her bike and off we went.  We got about 2 miles from the house and WHAM! I was going pretty fast and lost my balance, hit the curb and flew off my bike and  skidded across the sidewalk.....so graceful! I didn't break anything although I did leave some skin behind on the road! My front tire was flat so I had to walk the bike back home! As the day goes by, I am getting more sore.....can't wait to see what I feel like tomorrow....and see what my leg looks like...I can feel the bruise coming! Ankle to knee, front and side of my leg.  Nice road rash on my leg and arm.  Thank god I was wearing long pants and two long sleeve shirts and gloves!  

Next!

I have made my list of the upcoming races.  Hopefully I can find a few more to sprinkle in.  

Cinco De Mayo 10k (May), 

Reach the Bridge 8k (June), 

LaCamas Half Marathon (July), 

PDX run america Half Marathon (Aug),  

Bridge Pedal (bike) (Aug), 

Portland Century (bike) (Aug), 

Run Like Hell Half Marathon (Oct).

 Looks like I need a race in September!!!! 

Shamrock 8k...Check!

SO it was this morning.....the weather was a little better than craptastic.  It was pouring and windy...thankfully the temp was up to a whopping 46 degrees so I can't say it was freezing.  I ran the whole thing...5.2 miles in 57min.  I felt really good because I was in better shape than a whole bunch of skinnies.....you know with me it is all about comparing myself to others, sadly! But I never walked, even when the whole 2nd and 3rd mile were uphill! The last mile was downhill so that was the saving grace! I am already busy finding the next race....signing up for them keeps me from slacking! 

5.25

I am ready for the shamrock run....I ran 5.25mi under 1 hour tonight.  That is the farthest I have run in years! Pretty effin impressed with myself! Gets me feeling good about half marathon training too....almost halfway to a half! I am going to do it this year!

4.2

I think I will be okay on March 15th! I ran 4.2 miles tonight for the second time....the mp3 player is really helping out! I've doubled my push up max in one week and I'll hit the 200 situps before spring break starts! The gun show is on it's way to town!
