Didn't get a workout in - sometimes life simply eats up too much time; like from 6:35am - 8:40pm.
Same ole breakfast
same lunch (sandwhich, chips, granola)
a few little pieces of pork for a pm snack
2 bowls of vegi/pasta soup
1 big gulp
1 can soda
half a bowl of cereal (ate dinner at 5:00 and was obviously hungry again by 9:00

En Fuego
Just a little reminder with 270 days until the MCM - if I lose 1 pound every 10 days I'll only lose 27 pounds and still be 10 pounds over my goal. Just something to let sink it.
Good good day! Right after work I changed (in my room that doesn't have a door and prayed no one walked in on me) and went out for a Speed workout that consisted of hill repeats. I wore my screw shoes for the first time this year with several new screws added. We lets just say a few of those screws were removed immediately upon return. Did a 16 min, warm up on the snowy trail and then 5 hills, with a decreasing rest time b/w each one (1:10, 1:05, 1:00, & :55). Then had a 17 min. cool down back to my classroom. One fox spotted today (and he was eying me for a long time... and no not the same fox as Sunday - different park). I also passed on the breakfast pastry at a meeting before work!
BTW - Pikes Peak looks great today.
2 slices toast w/ butter/jelly
1 smaller bowl of cereal
1 ham/cheese sandwhich
1 granola bar
2 pieces of chocolate
1 snack sized bag o chips
1 big gulp
4 small leftover pieces of pork
1.5 chicken breasts
1 serving rice
1 serving green beans
THAT'S IT!
I'll take it. Not sure when or how I'm squeezing in a workout tomorrow????

2 slices toast butter/jelly
1 large bowl cereal
1 ham/cheese sandwich
1 granola bar
3 bite sized candies
1 slice of some sort of dessert bread
3/4 pieces of left-over fajita strips (just the beef)
1 plate of pork tenderloin, rice, and gr. beans
pretty good so far, now wait...... wait...... here it comes.....
972 bite sized pieces of chocolate candy
@%#&*#@*&#%@$@!!!!!!

Foxy Foxy
I've been dropping the ball for the past three years now and I'm ashamed. Today I started my long run from home this morning and less than a block into the run the snow started falling. Ran about 25 minutes before I got to one the city's biggest and coolest parks. The shameful part is that this was the first time I had run to this park from home. Other than that it was a nice snowy 1:13 minute trail/sidewalk run that got pretty technical at the park. Whenever you get your butt up here NM I'll take you out to see it. Oh yeh, one fox ran by me (20 feet or so) along the way.
2 slices toast w/ butter/jelly
1 large bowl cereal
1 big gulp diet soda
2 bit sized Reeses PB cups
2 bowls chili
1 small snack bag of chips
5-6 (1 yr old sized) bites of the kiddos left-over burrito
3 bowls beef stir fry/over noodles
13-18 bite sized reeses PB cups - F#*@!!!
Better, until about 11:00 at night)=:
I'm supposed to ride the bike and lift at the gym before work tomorrow - we'll see if that happens?

Off day
Well I didn't run today since I ran yesterday and have a long run tomorrow. Hopefully my knees feel better tomorrow because for some odd reason they're a little sore going up stairs today.
scrambled eggs - probably 2 eggs worth
hash browns - probably 3 big spoon fulls
1 large Sam's club soda
1 slice Sam's club pizza (which is really 2 normal slices)
2 bowls of shredded wheat cereal
3 bowls of chili
4 biscuits
I suppose their was less snacking, now I just need to cut down the quantity

Wouldn't it be nice...
...if I had PR'ed at San Antonio
...if I didn't add a ton of weight during my "off season"
...if my heel, knees, and leg didn't hurt
...if it was always as nice in January as it's been this week (in the 70's)
...if I had a running partner
...if I didn't have to work so much do that I could workout more
...if I cross-trained better
...if I could run before work more frequently
...if running downhill on the Barr trail didn't hurt
...if I didn't eat so much
Now the positives...
...if I broke the 5:00 mark during the MCM
...if I broke the 4:30 mark for Pikes Peak (of course I still need to break 5:00)
...if I swam at least once a month
...if I lifted at least once a week
...if I could run with snow falling more ofter
...if I could lose 4 pounds a month from now until the MCM (=36 pounds)
...if I could always run without music and still hear nothing
Season 4 is officially underway. Here's to our successes!
On that note....here it is:
4:55AM I set out for a 42 min. run. My goal was nice and easy. I felt pretty good, my right knee felt ok, nothing more. It was a great start to the day, nice and quiet, not cold at all, and an enjoyable jog.

The Return...
Shameful. Three months have gone by, the big event has gone by, the injuries from the event have seemingly healed, and nary a posting since early October. In short: we suck. Here's to being more consistent in '09.
Got out and ran a very slow 3 miles this morning, probably the second, maybe the third run since the San Antone RnR. Knee was...tight, I guess is the best word for it, but I made sure to stretch before the run and again after it, and now, 9+ hours later I'm feeling no pain. Looking more and more like it was just a case of poorly timed tendinitis. Cross your fingers that that's all it is, because I'm going to hit '09 with a vengeance.
My plan is to not only document workouts here, but to do a far better job of keeping track of the eating. Granted it was 25 pounds, but I only dropped 25 pounds over the course of 9 months of marathon training, and eating is largely to blame. Now that I've put at least some of that amount back on (weigh-ins on Mondays), it's time to redouble the efforts and the commitment.
For now, today's workout:
3.35 miles/50:34, 508 Calories
See you here tomorrow.
