Weddingbee boards

hey people where is everyone?

i took a whole week and a half off due to tendonitis and shin splints. the wrist is even worse but the shin is better. i HOPE anyway. so im going to run tomorrow and due abs. i cant wait

This past week wasn't great for me--I got back from that ski trip on Monday, ran Tuesday, but then had to be out of town for work Wed, and Thurs, and although I packed my workout stuff I could never find the time to fit it in! I did 10 miles on Saturday (first outdoor run of the year!) and then did 4 today along with some upper body weights.

I'm ready to get back on the wagon this week. :)

I ran a 10 mile trail race yesterday which was probably one of the hardest I've ever done. My time was pretty good, I placed 16th overall and 4th for women! Today's crossfit workout was okay, but my deadlift form is pretty bad, so that really held me up. It's a hard week for me due to travel schedule, tomorrow I'll be doing a crossfit workout at 6am, running 5.5 miles at 6pm and getting on a plane on Wednesday at 6am. I'm hopeful that I'll be motivated enough to do the Thursday trackworkout while on my buisness trip and the Sunday long run when my hubs comes down to meet me for the weekend.

@MissAsB: Thanks! Way to get back on the wagon! I'm excited to hear more from you on your workouts! The soreness just tells you that it was a good workout ;-)

@2PeasinaPod: Thanks!! make sure to take care of that knee! Are you icing it after your runs? 

@flyinpig3: tendonitis is the worst! I had to take quite a couple of weeks off last year because of it. Do you have good shoes, or orthodics? Don't push yourself too much, I always have gotten it because I tried pushing too hard too soon.  

GREAT JOB to everyone who's been running outside!!

Im jealous! After the shin splints got better, i got freakin SICK! lol worst 2 weeks ever. so yeah im fighting off tonsilitis (i think).

The funny part is, since i havent been working out, ive been eating perfect and not snacking at all, or eating at night. when im wroking out 6 days a week im NEVER eating this good... probably bc i feel like i need to "reward myself" or i "just can" because i worked out. which is silly since 80% of weight loss is nutrition. i should just never work out and continue eating perfect lol. ughhhh

@seattlemeg: Trail racing! That's so cool! I follow a couple blogs and have seen posts about trail races and it looks like so much fun! And you had an amazing time. Great job. :)

I'm struggling a little with running this week...after my ten miler I can't seem to make my body or mind want to do more than three at a time. I've run 5 days straight now. Might be time for a day off.

@Taylor4: Remember that rest days are both good for your spirit AND your body. Almost all training plans have at least one per week. 

I've only done a couple of trail races, they're fun! It's nice to get off of the pavement and into the woods for a race!

Tonight I'm supposed to do a track workout, but I'm nervous about it. I hate working out by myself and while I know the high school track down here is open to the public, i feel a little weird going to it. I just need to get over myself and get it done. I plan on leaving work at 5:30ish to get to the track around 5:45. It's a short workout so that's a good thing. 

I'm also being brave and dropping into a crossfit gym down here tomorrow at 6am. It's my first drop-in and I'm really hoping it goes well. I've gotten so comfortable with my coaches at my normal place, I hope the coaches here don't see me as a nuscance and I hope I can keep up with their regular members, crossing my fingers for a WOD that requires some running!

How's everyone else doing this week? Any big accomplishments?
