Good week so far...at least workout wise....well at least running wise....
Monday: Did a partial spinning class because had to set up the gym because I taught power hour. Wed did a warm up of jog/jump rope/jack/power jack and then do some station work mixing up some cardio with strength training ended up with ab work doing along with other things a pyramid pushup crunch combo. I could only partially paticipate because I was tracking time. The inner gym teacher came forth and I was yelling go go go and would have given anything to have a whistle. To much power for a girl like me to have people do my bidding. I now think that all should obey me. Okay back to workout. In the evening my husband and walked 3.25 mile and took a really good hill.
Tuesday: Walked 1/2 mile and ran 3 1/2. On the treadmill and put put the grade at only .5 (I know I am a big weenie)
Wed: Did nothing....no swimming....hmmmmmm
Thursday: Ran 4 1/2 miles no stopping went up one big hill. Met up with some other runners (we had a mixup on time) and did my final mile with them. I just work so much harder when I go with other people.
Friday: Today is spinning and power hour. Mike will be subbing for our usual instructor. Who knows what kind of evil (he calls it fun) is planned.
I am taking a 1/2 day from work and going with my soon to be daughter in law to find me a dress to wear to the wedding which is fast approaching.
Last night checked out the 10k pumpkin push route....there is one HUGE hill and a couple small hills. I can not stress enough that it is a HUGE long hill and right at the beginning! The route scares me to death. I keep waffling back and forth...do I want to go for it....do I want to wait till I am stronger? Will I ever be stronger? Blah...I know I could walk it but??????????
Since I was in kissing distance of my grandson last night (pumpkin push route) had to stop and see my little buddy. He was hungry when I got there so Grandma got to give him his dinner. He just guzzled down his bottle. He is so like his grandma because when he was finished he kept smacking his lips as if saying, "Hey that was pretty tasty can I have seconds?" He is already to big for his 0-3. So at the ripe old age of 3 weeks he is entering the 3-6 month clothing arena. What a boy! Look out Payton....there is a new guy in town!

Running in Packs
This morning I was invited to run with some other people. I have never been real enthused about running with other people because I feel like I slow them down. However, this was an especially fun run. We started at 5:00 a.m. and they start running right out of the chute...not like me who thinks it is necessary to walk 1/2 mile for a warmup! I held my own the first 2 1/2 miles and at times was actually ahead of people and it wasn't till that last 2 1/2 miles that I lagged behind but I always managed to catch up. I had to walk a couple times to catch my breath but not anywhere near the amount of walking I do when I am by myself. Overall I give myself a B+(not so much for the actually running but for the effort I put forth). We ran down a beautiful road that was all curvy and downhill. However, for everydown hill there is usually and uphill. The first one was small and I made it up quite nicely. I actually sprinted up the hill. Then we hit 4th Street hill and that was a bear! When I got to the top I wasn't sure if I wanted to puke or pass out. I did neither though because I think they have a no puking, no passing out rule. I also thought that as much as they liked me they would not be willing to carry this large Athena back to the doors of the Y. So onward ho....another couple hills and then flat land to the end. 55 minutes....5 miles....not to shabby espcially since we had 4 hills in the route. One thing I found is that I need to be consistent with my pace. I tend to speed up and then I get out of breath and have to walk...so if I pace myself I could probably learn to run with absolutely no walking on the long runs. FUN FUN FUN AND I AM SO GLAD I GOT INVITED AND AM LOOKING FORWARDING TO THE NEXT SCHEDULED RUN. I was told that I am ready for the Pumpkin Push (10k) and if I have to walk a little that is okay...just like today with another mile on it. So I am signing up and I refused to get all freaked out like I did at the Hog Jog. I am just gonna go my own pace and if I have to take little walking breaks I am not going to beat myself up. Hopefully some of the people that ran this morning will do the pumpkin push so I can pace with them. I also need to go out and check the route because if I remember correctly (from volunteering the year before) there is one big long hill right at the start. I HATE HILLS! But this large Athena she does love the downhills!
Updates: Tuesday night invited my Mom over for dinner and then we played a couple of games of Skipbo. Ymmmm dinner we had Cubed Pork Cutlets on the Grill, Homemade Scalloped Potatos, Harvard Beets, Cooked Carrots, Apple Salad and Biscuits. Nice relaxing evening. (Beets and Apple Salad made with my best friend Splenda)
Thursday (Today): Adam has his first visit to the doctor. I am anxious to see how much my little buddy has grown.
Friday Night: Hopefully going dress hunting with Tasha. I need to find a dress for the wedding because it is fast approaching. I might even pop for dinner if she is nice!
Random Loving it Moment: Running in the cool autumn morning accompanied by Garth Brooks and his songs of love and pain.

Update
Got to see all of grandchildren this weekend! Stopped by Friday night to see Ty and Carissa. Ty is getting so tall. He is up to my chin now! Be good so we can do something soon! Carissa is standing up and crawling. Adam is eating and napping. Hmmm Adam is definetly showing some family traits! He also already holds his head up for quite a little while. Went to Miss Abby's birthday party. She is just full of energy. I am glad my being a mommy to small children is past. That is just too much hard work. The role of grandmother is much easier.
Monday: Spinning and power hour
4.75 miles on Tuesday...weather great....my cardio was not. Had to walk run but did take some evil hills. I can't seem to get my focus. Knee just hurt a little. A little lifting after that....mostly upper body
Today Swimming and if I get off the computer I can get into the weight room for a few minutes...so that is all...boring boring boring I know.

Why I do the thing I do
I went on someone's blog the other day and she listed all the reasons she runs and so I asked myself "Why do I?" I am not good at it but I still continue...I mean I am a back of the packer of the back of the packers so why do I continue to do this....so here are my reasons...
I run because
1. I keep failing
2. they say big girls are lazy and I am proving them all wrong
3. I like to eat
4. life is hard and it fills your mind and when I am running my mind is empty except for the constant chant in my head of "Oh my gosh my legs are killing me and I can't breath".
5. I am doing something in the family that is unique to me.
6. I feel a sense of pride in my perseverance.
7. it may encourage other overweight woman in their 40's to not be scared to start working out.
8. I don't like housework or gardening
9. I want to keep my diabetes and blood pressure in check
10. the shirts they give you for doing the races are really cute!!! The Zoo Run has penguins on it and the hog jog...well you can figure that one out.
11. I want to set an example for my children and grandchildren..you know determination, drive, focus, fitness....
12. it teaches me to overcome fears
BUT MOSTLY IT IS BECAUSE....... I NEVER COULD BEFORE!
So now that we have delved into the depths of my soul off to lighter topics
Thursday Run: AWESOME 3.40 miles no stopping...up and across the big long hilly bridge by my sister's house! Not sure of time and don't really care. I was steady and did not stop not even once!
Baby Adam: He had his very first bath and he loved it! His mother said after his bath he was all zonked out. He has regained all his lost birth weight. I will post pictures tomorrow. His mother needs to send me the picture where is in the blue bag so I can post it!
Baby Carissa: Crawling....can you believe it...before long she will be walking....and another one of us will be let loose upon the world.
Tyson: Playing Football and Soccer. They boy is going to have legs of steel. Go Ty Go!
Abby's Birthday: Sunday at 2:00 at Aunt Denise's house, Snack foods and cake will be served.

Just got a minute
I will be putting more pictures up of Adam soon!
Updates:
Kendra had the baby Thursday morning. I was out of the office and up at the hospital most of that time. Then about 1:30 went home and rested for an hour or so before my husband got home and then back up to the hospital to see Mommy and baby. Went to work Friday and then Friday night once again my grandchild lured me back up to the hospital. Saturday at the hospital to bring my daughter breakfast because she said the hosptial food was horrendous and then off to run errands. Found a large 12X20 prebuilt shed that we may be ordering. I will call the company today and get a few more details. Off to HH Gregg to replace the freezer that was damaged in the fire, then back home to drop of hubby and off to the Grocery Store. Then back to the hospital to see our litte grandson (who can resist) and then dropped off to my son's to see my grandaughter and my other grandson. Sunday....ah tried to run and that was a dismal failure. Had 6 miles on the agenda but only completed 5.30 and most of that was walking! I have been eating crap all week because we have been on the run and I have been just too distracted to cook so we have been eating out alot. So I put crap in my body and in return in gave me crap back! So new week back on the food program. When I was running it felt like EVERY inch of fat was bouncing up and down and my legs felt like lead....very very very heavy lead. I was so mad by the time that I got home that I came storming in the house. I told my husband that that crappy run was EXACTLY why I will NOT quit the Y(we have had previous discussions about that topic). I missed two days of Y this week and my food program went out the window and it feels as If I am just a beginner exerciser! The Y keeps my mind and body in check! Anyway I spent the day mad as blazes about my workout and hope to redeem myself this week...which if I don't stop writing I am going to be late to spinning! Off I go to work off my week of excess.

After 24 Hours of Hard Work.......
Tuesday, September 05, 2006
On the road again...I just can't wait to get on the road again!
This morning 3.35 miles and NO stopping and my time would have been awesome but I had to slow down on several sections because it was pitch black outside. I could not even see the sidewalk. Considering I was sick over the weekend I think I was AMAZING. I tried to focus and not get all whiny inside my head....had to tell that niggling little voice that continually chants, "I don't like this" to SHUT UP and you know what today it did! So my workout was successfull and the weather was awesome (actually I would have liked it to be 10 degrees cooler but hey I am being grateful for what I get). But I keep thinking the 10k is twice as long as that so I need to be twice as strong but I am going to go for the 10k anyway. Does anyone else have to keep talking to themselves while they "run". I constantly am reminding my self to relax, to use the big strong calf muscles I have to push off, loosen my shoulders etc. When will this every become natural? I have found that 3/4 of my battles are with my brain and not my legs. My legs says "ah don't feel so bad" and my mind retorts, "Are you crazy of course your tired you should stop right now and walk." And 90% of the time my stupid legs OBEY my stupid mind. Today my legs fought back and we ran and ran and ran....My mind is now getting its revenge by screaming, "I am hungry feed me ice cream, feed me cookies, feed my chinese buffet" My legs are staying strong and the refuse to budge me from my chair. My body and mind are always at odds...sigh.....

NyQuil Shots and Antihistimine High
I am recovering from my Nyquil hangover. Did you know that 2 shots of NiQuil within an hour of each other has the same effect as a nightlong drinking binge of Tequila? Not that I drink anymore those days are long gone. However, I have a pretty clear recollection of my Tequila days and I feel EXACTLY the same. Last night I slept twelve hours only waking up at 3:00 am for a dose of Fruity Pebbles and then back to sleep until 6:00 am. I think I have the sinus thing going on because I sure have felt pretty icky these last couple of days. Earlier in the week I had been sneezing like crazy and then next thing I knew my ears were plugged up...Saturday I woke up feeling not so great..ears plugged up, a raging headache, nasty nasty taste in my mouth but knew I had 6 1/2 miles to accomplish. My head was all stuffed up but I told myself to suck it up and get outside. My first 5 miles were pretty good mostly run with some walking. Then at mile 5 Icame across my friend Jill and she was doing her Saturday 3 1/2 mile walk so we ran just maybe a mile of her 3 1/2 and then walked the rest (walking up a pretty big hill that had me huffing and puffing). By the time I was done I had done about 9 miles all together (thought it was 10 but when I mapped it it was only about 9 sigh). After that I came home and got cleaned up and took my daughter to Pepe's for a most awesome Mexican meal. My mom a/k/a the slug went with us also. After that the daughter and I walked the mall in hopes of inducing her labor (did not work). The slug baled on us for that part of the outing. During the shopping trip I complained perpetually about my raging headache and hot flashes...at one point my daughter was fanning me with papers saying "Isn't is suppose to be me that feels bad and is whining" We picked up a few birthday gifts and then it was drop off daughter and go home to get my grocery list and check in with my husband so he would not report me as a missing person. Then off to the grocery store and that ended my day! So despite feeling crappy I was most active. Sunday went to church in the morning, came home went to Menards and then out to lunch with my hubby and then back home....then I truely did not feel good and that is when I hit the couch and did not move until 6:00 am this morning. So I am not feeling so great this Labor day morning but I absolutely am not taking anymore NyQuil (besides I dont' think that does diddly for sinus stuff) I have taken an antihistimine and that has me feeling jittery and hyper but yet lethargic...it is the oddest feeling...I want to clean and clean but yet I am soooo tired. So I have compromised. I have cleaned my computer room (organizing toys into big kid/little kid boxes) and am now taking a break while some dishes are soaking. Earlier I moved my oven cleaned under it, cleaned my baseboards in the kitchen and washed my kitchen curtains and half heartedly attacked the cob webs on the walls. I also have wrapped birthday gifts and baby gifts. I guess considering that I feel like someone has beat me to death I am holding up pretty good. I hope my husband does not read this because when he finds out how much I can accomplish when under the unfluence of antihistimines he may slip me a dose on a daily basis so that he can reside in clean tidy house and not the Munster's house. The poor man he suffers how he suffers. He is like....hmmmm Felix Unger and I am the nasty messy roommate Oscar. He puts everything back when he is done using it and straightens pictures and sweeps and dusts and I am totally oblivious to the messes. I mean I like things straightened up but I don't get uptight about dust. I just put the lights on dim and WAA LAA a dust free house! A little pinesol, a lit candle and we have a clean house. Well I better get back to work. This house has been long neglected and it needs to TCL
Garage: We have decided not to replace with a full size garage and are going with a very very large shed (12x15). We will then have half our slab for a patio. We are then going to put a privacy fence around our yard to block out the ghetto that is our neighborhood. (Shoes hanging from wires, graffiti up and down the alley, trash everywhere). My grandchildren will be able to play without fear and family gatherings will be nice because we will have privacy. The basket ball court will also not be accessibly to every joe blow that wants to shoot hoops. One night I went outside and there was a group of at least 10-12 kids playing on our court. They weren't even our neighborhood kids. I had never seen these kids before. They actually turned on our flood lights and were playing. I had to tell them it is 10:00 at night and we were going to bed and they would have to leave. We don't mind if some of the kids we know play but they are suppose to come up and ask first...and they are pretty good about that. For awhile we had lots of kids just coming up and playing and they would leave their trash and throw cigarette butts everywhere. Finally after constantly telling them no smoking, no cussing, pick up your trash they drifted away. I actually posted rules on the court because the kids were being just horrible. So now just a few kids come...the neighbor's kids behind us, our other neighbor's grandkids and that suits me just fine.
Adam: Kendra will be induced on Wednesday!

I LIED
Okay in the last post I told you I would write something more interesting...alas I am a liar...
Nothing interesting just the same old boring waaa waaa.
Garage: In the process of finding a contractor to erect one garage within our budget.
Husband: Recovering. He got the flu on top of all the other stuff. He is very weak but this long weekend should give him some good recovery rest.
Grandson: No baby yet. I think he likes his mother's comfy womb and will not come out. Perhaps he can be lured out with little debbie snacks? I am going to take her walking this weekend and then out for a spicy lunch to help encourage him to come out.
Fitness: Alas I missed a workout yesterday! However, I was good and strong today. I held up well during spinning then power hour. My plan is to do 6 1/2 tomorrow. Hopefully with minimal walking and then spinning class in the later morning. I like to run on Sunday but it is just too hard to get a long run in and then get home fix breakfast and get to Sunday School. When we were just attending church I had plenty of time but Sunday School starts early and it is just too rushed. I have decided my focus is somewhat lacking and now that the weather is getting cooler I need to really bear down!
Just in case anyone is interested I am actually cleaning my house and not just swabbing down my countertops with Pinesol to make it smell clean! Oh and I HATE HOUSEWORK! Nothing makes me crabbier in the world because the more I clean the more dirt I find and then the house seems even dirtier. My old tricks were pinesol and low wattage bulbs but that ain't working no more.....
