FPC Days 12 and 13

I never got around to posting last night, sorry. It also dawned on me that I don't need to post those summary photos every day since you can see them by clicking on the Food/Fitness Tracker page, and then follow the link there.



Today's workout was a 3.5 mile run, doing 1:30/:30 intervals of 6.5mph/4mph (plus warm-up and cool-down). I didn't take my Acidopholus over the weekend or this morning, and I could definitely tell as soon as I got about a half-mile into my run. I'll spare you the TMI details, but oh my, does my tummy hurt :(

I came home from work, had my monster salad, and took Lucy for her walk. Now I'm going to jump in the shower and then hit the hay.  Have a good night!

Family Reunion Weekend

I ran 6 days last week! No long runs but I did 3.25 miles on Sunday, 3.55 miles on Monday, 3.4 miles on Tuesday, 3.25 miles on Wednesday, 2 miles on Thursday, and 3.5 miles on Friday.

Saturday we got up early, dropped Lucy off at doggie daycare and headed to Virginia to see my dad. It was 4 hours to get there, we stayed 4 hours, and then 4 hours to get back home. My brother's family also went, and we had a really nice day!

My brother, my dad, and me :)

Needless to say, I was so exhausted that I spent the entire day Sunday in bed, just vegging out and watching TV. I never even turned on the computer. Lucy was wiped out from playing with the other dogs all day Saturday, so her and Bogey stayed in bed with me :)

Today was right back to work. I went to the gym at lunch and got in a much needed run. I had to take it easy though, since I had another one of those weird weak/dizzy episodes in the shower this morning, and my equilibrium has been "off" all day. One more week until I get the blood work done and find out what the hell is going on. Ugh.

Ten Things Thursday

I don't know if I have ten things but let's see how it goes :)

1. Laura Belle posted a picture of what she considers a messy desk. Ha! Let me show you what a messy desk looks like! Yes, there are 3 different coffee cups, all in use. Don't judge. And yes, I like frogs :)
   
    


2. I ended up staying home from work yesterday, but came back today. I'm still not 100% but I am feeling quite a bit better. I think I've been dehydrated so I'm trying to drink more water. I suck at drinking water (other than inside my coffee). 


3. I haven't ran since I went to the doctor last week. Today is 7 days. Today I am going back to the gym and no matter how slow I have to go I am getting a run in. Actually, I'm going right now so I'll come back and finish this later...

St. Patrick's Day 10 mile (virtual) Run

I woke up this morning with a sore throat and runny nose, and spent about 6 hours procrastinating this run. It turned out just about as bad as I expected - heh! But, I did do it! And that's more than I can say about my recent Sunday long runs!

I was a complete mess afterwards, and I really thought the last 3 miles were going to kill me.

Sweaty mess!

Here are my terrible splits :(

This was the 2nd race of the #13in2013 series, hosted over at JillConyers.com. The next one I have lined up for this series is a half marathon, on my birthday, June 22nd. That one is for National Pink Day :) I'll definitely be following a training plan, beginning tomorrow. Today's run reminded me that you can't just go from 3.5 mile runs to a 10 mile run without proper training. At least not without consequences.

On that note, I better get a shower, some dinner, and take Lucy for a walk. Hope you all had a great weekend!
