This is Why We Do It

Day 1

I started off the day in preventative medicine.  I got a massage and got all the knots worked out and now I know what I need to work on.  I also saw my PCP to work on preventing cankersores (which I'm prone to).

1. Great! I didn't eat anything crappy and had three meals, no snacks.
2. Rest day
3. Rest: had to pack for camping and the day got away from me
4. Did my stretches.

Pre Day 1 III

1. I did well.  Taco Bueno for lunch.  Not the best, but I didn't binge during the day.  Tried Ezekiel bread today.  Delish and super filling.
2. Spin for 45 minutes.  Love that class!
3. No weights...tomorrow
4. Stretched during spin class.


Tomorrow starts Day 1!  I. Am. Ready.

Pre Day1 II

1. Not good.  I was anxious and started eating for no reason.  I realize my downfall was the peanut butter pretzels at 10 am.  It snowballed after that.
2. Walked 3 miles in 45 minutes.  I was happy with this.  My hip is hurting a little so I opted not to run.
3. Probably no weights today.
4.  Getting ready to do my stretches.

Pre Day 1

1) Did fairly well: ate some pasta at 4 pm that I didn't really need.  Only ate half my supper.
2) No cardio today.  Slept in.
3) Didn't do weights.  Decided to try the stretches tonight.
4) I did my 8 stretches tonight.  Took me 15 minutes and I felt really good afterwards. 

Runners Stretches

I found a good website for running stretching.  I'm going to try to do these 8 exercises every day.  Should take about 10 minutes/day.  I can find 10 minutes in the day, right?  RIGHT!!

It's Official!!

I am signed up for the 2013 Houston Marathon.  We were actually going to run in the 2012 marathon, but most of the ladies got hurt so we all deferred and get to sign up early.  So here come the emails and encouraging words!
