Back on the Wagon..

well as the holidays approached, I fell off the wagon, no running, and plenty of eating. So what else is new.



We had a great xmas, the twins really were excited about Santa this year. They were spoiled, AGAIN, but they had a great time.

We Spent New Years Eve with great friends, booze and food!

So here we are, in 2008. I have a few resolutions which I will keep to myself, since I never keep them.

The gym at work will be closed for a few weeks, for a plumbing problem, so it looks like I will be running outside till then.

Hope all of you in Blogger land, had a great Holiday!

Bizzard? Running? Really?

I was speechless when a runner posted, "I ran 10 miles in a Blizzard" Talk about hardcore! 10 miles, in a blizzard, with 25 MPH winds. I have nothin' to complain about, especially my long run this past Sunday in 40 degree temps, and 10 MPH winds, after a huge rainstorm. I busted my ass just to get my measley 7 miles in.

This woman just became my inspiration. You know who she is!

So I am on Week 3 of the training, and it is going well, but I am soo tired after my long run. I wonder if this is normal? I am toying with the idea of getting some outdoor running gear, like a fleece headband that covers my ears, the water belt, and new gloves, I am pretty much covered in all the other areas.

Oh! and I lost my first TOENAIL! I have a sliver of old nail left on the bed, but the whole thing lifted and I clipped it. I joined the ranks!


On a sad note, a girlfrined of mine lost her brother on the 14th. He had a brain anuerysym (sp) a few days before and the outlook was not good. They removed him off LifeSupport, and he died 10 minutes later. The Vega's are in my thoughts and prayers!

Vaya con Dios, Alvaro!

I PR'd...

my first 5K with this 5K. Very exciting. It ended up being a trail run, which I have never done before. Was nervous about rolling an ankle, so I was cautious. Still trying to get used to all the damn hills here in NC.

I went for my long run the next day and it was all I could do to finish 3 miles and I called it a day. Guess a fast trail run followed by a long run (7 miles) do not mix. Oh well, I took a DOR today.

We are SICK again. WTF? every time I get better, I get sick again, soo fucking annoying.

And why is it 80 degrees in December? when it was 40 degrees last week?

16 Week - Half Marathon training

has begun. I completed Day 2 of Week 1, I am excited, But nervous about the upcoming tempo run...yikes 11:19 for 3 miles? Really? We'll see, even though I ran 11:29 miles at the 5 miler Turkey Trot, BLAH..just skeered is all.

My shins are feeling a lil' wonky, hoping nothing serious.

WI was this AM, officially I am down 34#s, soo excited, haven't been at this weight in a long time, and running has helped with every pound lost. Glad I enjoy it as much as I do.

26 Days left ya'll

Are you done shopping? I have a few more gifts which I need to order today and I am all done...hahaha, and even before the month of December is upon us!

Why am I sooo lazy?

Aack I am driving myself crazy. I need a major kick in the assss. Anywho, TDay was nice. Great : food, company, weather!

Also a great day for running. Competed in my first 5 mile race. Inside Out Turkey Trot 8K. I completed 11 Min miles, official time 56.26 minutes, not bad for the phat azzz.

Then I went for my long run that Sunday and completed 8.5 miles, well... .75 was walked but I ran the rest. Hopefully I will be in shape for a half by mid 2008. WE WILL SEE!

The floors are done, you can kinda see them in the pic above. Can I say what a major PITA that was. But I LOVE THEM! Really add sumthin to the house.

It's been a month already..

since my last post? Sheesh, the time has flown. Halloween was a blast. This is the first year the twins really dug the costumes and candy.

We had the floors replaced downstairs, which was a major PITA, still recovering, but the reults are amazing!

RUNNING - Yes still running. Up to 6.5 miles now, which is allot for this fatazz....I am running an 8K on Turkey Day, just soo I don't blow it with all the good eat's! I even got the neighbors DH to run with me. He used to be a runner, not soo much anymore.

I am sidetracked today due to this annoying fucking lung gook, which I am sure is due to all the upheavel of dust and mites from pulling up the old carpet and vinyl.

I digress, I am also running a Reindeer Romp 5K (snicker) on 12/8/07. So the holidays are upon us!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
