Next run could be on New Years Day (Resolution Run) or my regular run on Sunday.

I have been doing a lot of researching, and making plans for the 4th of January. My fresh start.

Starting over, but so excited! I cannot wait to start the half clinic next Thursday!

Good run tonight, last set of 6/1's!

Tonight, we ran the resolution run. It is 5 km. A long and slow 5 km.

39 minutes

4.87 km

394 calories

Tomorrow, we are up to 8/1's already. The next week, back at 10/1's! I couldn't be more excited! I am feeling like I am getting 'back to normal' but over 30 pounds heavier. The athlete in me is in hiding, but she will return! I figure by March 2010.

I have done it before, and I will do it again. I also expressed interest in taking up biking again in the spring for cross training! I want to ride my bicycle! I want to ride my bike. (Quick, name the song and the artist!!)

On Friday, I could run the real resolution run. I might just go and run it. Never have done this one, and might be fun to do.

And then, I run Sunday, I run Wednesday, THURSDAY half clinic starts, and run FRIDAY! 10/1's!!

On the 4th of January, I get back into healthy eating. Bye bye crap foods. Hello healthy living!

2010 DO IT AGAIN!

SICK for Christmas

I didn't get to eat Christmas dinner this year. I had a lovely Christmas breakfast, and after that I started feeling sick. So, I layed down. Felt really pukey, and then I got ready for our company. Sat at the table whilst everybody ate, and then I layed back down on the sofa. By evening my son threw up two times, and then one of my girls threw up in the morning. Thankfully that is it!

Yesterday (boxing day I started feeling better again, and able to enjoy a few treats!)

This morning went for a run with my group. I led the front of the pack, and we ran 5.1 km.

Cold, bright and beautiful. And, a bit slippery in places. For Christmas I received my new Garmin (the 305) and I just love it. Tried it out today!

We ran for 36:23 minutes

5.17 km

I burned 446 calories (the joys of being heavier)

And, I am excited to join the half marathon clinic which starts first week of January. We have a few weeks left of this clinic, today was 6/1's. On Wednesday we bump up to 8/1's. Following week 10/1's! I am so excited to get back there.

Jan, I am back on track, I am feeling good. Time to blast this weight off!

Happy holidays!

Saturday Update

Whoa, all of this Christmas stuff has left me neglecting my personal blogs. All worth it!

We are up to 5 minute run, one minute walk. Last night we did 6 ish sets. My 205 Garmin died last Sunday. Thankfully I didn't lose a lot of data. I must say it is weird to run without time/distance/calories burned etc. How quickly a girl can get used to a Garmin. When it broke it was awful :D

So, Santa aka Cliff picked up a Garmin 305 at our local Costco. Really good deal.

IF you need one, go there!! NOW.

I also went in to see Dr. Leif. I have the 'all clear' to try for a half marathon. I am so excited to begin that training in January. The LTR clinic, although fun is not challenging enough for me. I like a challenge, and a good goal.

Dr. Leif said my hips are firmly in place, I am OK! Those words mean EVERYTHING to me. Running just makes me feel good from the inside out.

Running, oh how I love you. Looking forward to running with my friend L tomorrow!

Tonight's Clinic - Friday

Tonight, a talk on nutrition. It is always good to hear information like this, even if I have heard it all before.

Always good to try to work towards eating like an athlete again. In January I will transform back to who I really want to be! I cannot wait to get started!

Run tonight:

5.47 km

39:02

462 calories burned

Average pace 7:09

Fastest sprint 4:27

I am so happy to run over 5 km tonight with absolutely no pain! That is something I am so thankful for!!

So excited to run on Sunday morning! Should be dry and cold!

Little runs here and there...everywhere

I haven't blogged my runs! I have been doing my three times a week! Feeling great!

Totally enjoying the relaxing clinic. Nice peeps. Nice to connect with others who share the same love of running.

Tonight, we start 3/1's. I am excited to get to 10/1's. I am excited to run more than 4 km/5 km/10 km. With time!

I am glad the year is winding down! Fresh start 2010~

Going to lose the weight AGAIN! And keep it off.

Yay!
