Yeah, needless to say I’m a little disappointed in this. I did go over calories one day (but not by much), but other than that I was spot on with my intake. I do think I am retaining a little water, however. I ran out of bottled water earlier in the week, and still have...
C25K W5D1 done.
C25K W5D1 done. The run was incredibly easy to me today. Everything seemed to click… my breathing was great, no pain from my calves, my arch pain went away… felt so good I managed to PR my mile (17 min flat). Even managed to run the 5 minute interval two extra times. If only every run were like this…
Making Tracks for Celiacs 5k Recap
Yeah, I know I was supposed to do this Saturday, but I was tired and busy all day Sunday and Monday.
At any rate, it’s here now, so quit complaining :)
I’ll be honest… I had an extremely hard time waking up for this race. Because it was in Birmingham (1 hour away) I had to get up at 5:30 in order to meet my friends and get there for the pre-race shenanigans.
Around 6:00 I...
First 5k of the year tomorrow...
I’ve got my 1st 5k of 2012 tomorrow (3rd ever), and I’m slightly nervous about it…
Since I was sick I’ve had a real hard time controlling my breathing while running, and I’m afraid I’ll have the same troubles again tomorrow…
Oh well… If I do I do, I’ll just push through it…

Not terrible, but not as good as I had hoped… Granted I was sick for most of the week, and only got to work out once. I got excited when I saw the 322 earlier in the week, and I knew it was too good to be true… Oh well, a loss is a loss, and it’s only going to...
And the results are in...
Upper Respiratory Infection…
*Joy*
Got 5 days worth of medicine to take, and supposedly I’ll be better after… God I hope so…
In other news, they weighed me there and the scale said I dropped 10 lbs since Wednesday… I thought to myself “that can’t be right at all…” so when I got home I got on my scale to check, and sure enough it said I...

At the emergency clinic...
Yeah… not exactly how I planned on spending my Sunday afternoon…
I started feeling crummy around Wednesday. Started having the chills, fatigue, stuffy nose, and sore throat. Went to bed early (like 8:00 early… I usually go to bed at 12:00) and woke up and felt a ton better on Thursday, so I thought nothing of it. Since Thursday I’ve progressively gotten worse, till...
Felt really weird not going to run this afternoon… but I know it was the right decision, got home and started feeling crummy again. Looks like another early night thanks to my buddy NyQuil…
Feeling better...
I’m feeling a lot better than I was yesterday, though I am still a tad clammy… Even managed to come in to work, even if it was an hour and a half late… (NyQuil apparently knocks me flat on my tail… 11 hours of straight sleep…)
Though I do fell better, I’m still probably going to postpone today’s run and get some more rest tonight. Hopefully by tomorrow...

I’ll be honest… when I saw that on the scale this morning I may or may not have done a happy dance… and trust me… it was not a pretty sight…
Need Advice...
I’m doing fairly good with my C25K running plan (though I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intimidated by this weeks runs), but I constantly find the area I’m lacking in is my breathing. I just cannot seem to get the rhythm down. I’ve tried searching around the internet for tips on breathing, and have found vastly varying opinions, ranging from breathing through your...
No I did not forget about Weigh - A - Day today… I’ve just decided to go to a once a week weigh in.
I’ve become way to dependent on the scale to measure my progress as of late, and have almost missed out on some pretty cool NSV’s (such as needing a new belt (already) and my running progress).
The way I see it it’s a win - win situation. I become less reliant on the...
Sorry about the rant earlier...
Its just frustrating as heck to work your butt off and not see the scale drop…
Apparently I am losing fat though, because my belt is having trouble keeping my pants up, and I’m on the last notch… (was on to second to last notch when I started). I just need to not put as much focus on a number, and instead focus on the accomplishments like my running and the belt…
