TD 36: Biking, 1 hour.

Ugh. So I cross trained today. In the gym at my apartment complex. Which totally makes up for the fact that I didn't run the 10miles, cause Corey didn't cross train today. See? Totally equal. (HAH)

So the gym at my complex really sucks. I couldn't even turn the bike on to see how far I was going or change the resistance. Afterwards, I did some free weight lifting. Dustin was teasing me cause I was only bench pressing like 20 pounds. But whatever. I'm weak. :P I am adding some weights onto my program, though, at request of my squad leader. So soon, I'll be muscle bound. (HAH)

Rest tomorrow, which is good since I'm coming down with something. All I have to do is a few ab exercises. Yay.

TD 34: Rest

So for the PFT? ICK. I ran 3 miles, 33:57. And I puked afterwards. GOD. So I didn't pass. :( Poor me. So now I have to run my training program by the powers that be: ie my squad and fireteam leader. We'll see.

So. I didn't put my measurements up last week... here they are.

Chest: 35"
Waist: 32.5"
Hips: 39.5"
Thighs: 21.74"
Weight: 142 (according to the Marine who weighed me yesterday)

Tomorrow? 10 mile run with the hubby. We'll see how much he enjoys that.

Got a new running watch... it takes my heart rate and everything... its kind of scary that watches can do that, btw.

TD 30: 1.85, 19:58

So I've been not posting here because I'm sorta ashamed of myself. I didn't run all weekend, in preperation for the race, and then ended up not doing the race! And then I didn't train at all on Monday... so lazy. Geez.

So today, my training partner couldn't come with (some lame ass excuse :P -jk, hon), and I decided I needed to run anyways. So, off Lillie and I went to the gym, armed with my trusty iPod and a bottle of water.

I was curious as to my limits, so I pushed them a little, but not much. I found out that I can maintain 6.5 miles an hour comfortably for maybe two minutes... surprising. I found that I can run 1 mile in 10:15, which was a shocker. After I took a one minute walking break, I further suprised myself in hitting 1.5 miles at 15:30 -- which is huge considering the one minute walking break that I took. So then I pushed myself up to about 7 mph, and hit my wall. OUCH. So I stopped running at twenty minutes: last time I was in the gym running on the treadmill I nearly passed out, but that time I had a partner. This time I just had Lillie. So, I stopped.

But I'm so proud of me!

Yay!

TD 25: 3 Miles, 40:48

Well, I ran with my partner again today. It was miserable out, and I forgot my running shorts so I had to borrow a pair... he gave me swim shorts, so they totally were riding up the entire time. *Sigh*

And we ran really slow. I think that the middle day, you just run slower. Well, I do. I mean, by the second day of running, I'm really damn tired. The third day? Not so bad. But the second day kills me.

On the other side, we didn't take ANY walking breaks this time, I just kept running. Just kept going. And I kept up a conversational pace the entire time, talking and running. I actually thought that was pretty good, even if I did lose seven minutes from yesterday.

OMG. And its not measurement time or anything, saving that till Saturday, but I swear, my uniform today fit much better than it has in months. So I'm psyched. I almost looked squared away today in my uniform. I may yet make it to being a GOOD MARINE. Crazy.

Running again tomorrow. Still hate it. But for some reason, I didn't feel nearly as dead after the run today as I have been, which is wierd considering I took off almost a week due to sickness, baby and home problems. But, hey! Let's just be positive! Only one more day of running until a rest day!

AND THEN!!!

My first ever race.

I have my bib and everything. HOW EXCITING!!

:-D

Now that I'm done being geeky, I'm going to bed. Its much too late for me.

TD 24: 3 Miles, 33:49:34

I was SOOO close. SOOO CLOSE! And I ran it all by myself. Don't need any snotty partners crowding up the sidewalk. I took my two walking breaks, one minute each, and I made it.


And ok, sure, my partner was there in my mind. Urging me onward. Telling me I could do it. Making me believe it. Telling me how proud he was going to be of me.

But I totally could've been that person on my own.

Is true.

TD 21 ... After a brief respite ...

So. Took the weekend off of training. The whole week, almost, I guess... only trained Monday and Wednesday, did my situp program on Friday, but that was it. Oh, and I rested correctly. :P

But we start again tomorrow, which is a new day. Yay. For new days. Its cross training. I feel guilty for not training, but I have been sick. I'm hoping to be better. Although, I might be getting better faster if I actually took my medication and got some sleep. It feels like I haven't gotten any sleep in the last decade. I think that tomorrow I might either go to bed early, or take a nap as soon as cross training is over. I'll see.

But on the upside, I missed a five mile run. =) Yay!

Ready for my body to start working again,

TD 18: 4miles; cough cough

I'm sick. Cough cough. Real sick. Cough cough.

No, really. I'm on quarters/bed rest today, doctors orders, and self paced for the rest of the weekend. I wonder if Corey will accept that as a reason not to run tomorrow? Maybe I'll feel better. I still feel really crappy.

I've decided that training four weekdays a week is just not feasible for me. We have yet to complete a full week, due to things just popping up. So... maybe next week.

Sick,
