hilly

Well the Bear Mountain 10k was yesterday. Now I know why they call it the hardest 10k in Canada. Cuz it is hard. And hilly. I had some extensive chiropractic work done right before the race and I must remember never to do that again. One of the areas he worked on must have been inflamed or irritated because I was in excruciating pain for the entire race and then most of the day after. The usual things that hurt didn't hurt tho, which was amazing, We'll see how it is today, headed out after work for the usual sunday run with Vic.

almost that time

so it's race day on saturday...yay bear mtn 10k....goooood times. hopefully it doesn't kill me. hills hills hills...yay fun!! looking at taking a little road trip to seattle in the new years to run another marathon, that'd be fun.....29 days left til my last exam!! then winter break, move in with my sister and all kinds of good times. Doing some renos at the club so I get 2 weekends off, which is ok because I've got5 5 shifts a week at the golf course since jay's in mexico...so it all works out. Should be fun to get to go out with the crew!! I'm excited....

fighting the infection

Just sitting in buisness class with L-Hutt, avoiding doing a question. This class makes me sad, it's at the end of the day, and 2 hours long and I'm sleepy....and the sun goes down so early...I blame the recession...anyhow, that's all the complaining I'm gonna do! Work tonight and then tomorrow off school! Yay!! So exciting! 11 days til the Bear Mountain 10k!! Yay!! Run run run!! Alright, back to work!!

my quads hate me

sprintervals.....they make my legs sore...i like it....might end up being awake for the rest of tonight working on school stuff.....yikes...focusing on the work!!! Hill training and sprintervals are more fun than school!!!

avoidance

feeling good....foot is a little tweaky after my workout today, but not painful, just kinda achy. 10k tomorrow will be a good test of it's healedness.....which i don't think is even a word.....

currently on the couch, avoiding taking my post-workout supplements....because my liquid iron tastes like garbage....
well, not garbage, like cold chicken broth. that's exactly it, cold chicken broth. it makes me wanna vomit every day. So i avoid it. It takes me a good half an hour after each workout to work up the bravery to take my iron....blargh....ok ok ...here i go,
iron time
ugh

back at it

back at the gym, makes me very happy!! running outdoors for the rest of the week and some good solid gym time to keep the rest of me happy! foot feels fabulous.....Bear Mtn 10k is comin up fast...train train train...school is lovely...getting close to the end of this semester.......so much fun...i can't get over how fabulous all of my cohort is...they're all so wonderful! would really like to be getting to bikrams more often, it makes me a much happier person...and is really good for my racing...it's just really hard to get it into my schedule...GOAL! my goal for november/december is to get to hot yoga twice a week....

Goals are the backbone of training
and training is the shortest distance between fit and unfit......
