Today was
A good day :) 3mile easy run this morning then team swim practice tonight did somewhere around 1700yrds in the pool and now it is 11pm and I need to go to sleep so I can go spinny spin in the morning and then lift weights afterwards - first attempt at doing this back to back so it should be interesting, but I got some nuun and shot blocks so I don’t pass out and drop a weight on my toe...

Cable guy
The dude is here to install the cable - really no idea why it has so far taken an hour - I just don’t get it, but whatevs it does mean I will hopefully have Internet again soon so I can start using the computer and not the phone to post :)
In other news went for a lovely run this morning with an awesome person - I felt awesome it wasn’t far and it wasn’t fast but since I’ve...
Just woke up
And I feel so much better (yes it is noon here) like 90% better from yesterday. So I don’t really think the sickness was really sickness - I think it was the old house and me disturbing the monsters that live there (refer back to post with mask) I think I made them angry and they made me sick in turn. So you know what I am staying away and am not going to care if I get any deposit back,...
And que the sickness
So now I’m sick :( spent 5 hours cleaning the old house yesterday and then had workout with trainer - then scratchy throat last night tried to ward it off, went to old house to continue cleaning kept feeling worse, skin now aches (oh you know what I’m talking about gave up after 2hours am now at home (the new one) in lavender bubble bath and then am going to sleep :/
Moving
Sucks!!! I mean the actual act of it personally I love change and the challenges it brings, but the physical act of packing all your shit and moving it to another place to unpack it kinda sucks…but this morning I woke up in the new house and am stoked to get to the unpacking - my back is a little tweaked out right now so I am lazily still laying in bed - but I figure it’s ok the dog...
flight is booked
and i used miles for some of it to get a direct flight for only $50 more than the stupid other flight that had two layovers - yippee!!!!

airfare....
anyone have any ideas on how to get cheap airfare - like days that are best to book on or how are in advance/close in should you book? seriously the flight to HI for my triathlon just went up like $300 since Saturday and most of that happened today :(
WIW - the monday edition

Mood is getting better
I’m still in a bit of a frump, but I’m not a raving bitch anymore to that is a plus. I think that since I can admit when I am being a bitch that is a good thing ;)
I got most of the house packed yesterday and got my tired ass up went to the gym swam a mile then lifted weights - I only made it through two sets of the circuit as I hadn’t eaten yet and was feeling a bit weak so I...
foulest of foul moods
yep that is me right now…i was even good and got up and went to spin class so that i could get at least some exercise in in-between the packing marathon that i will be undertaking this weekend.
and then it happened the foulest of foul moods found me and has taken residence inside me and here it sits festering inside of me waiting to lash out at the unsuspecting…i guess it is good i...
The trainer - day three
Ok so the third training session is done - it was good I really like my trainer he is a nice guy and smart. Today was hard, I’m not gonna lie - despite being mentally scattered and stressed all week I have been pushing myself to make it to the gym or something everyday and today, today I was sore so when he handed me a weight for split leg squats I died a little inside - but I pushed through...

i love my dog...
but he drove me crazy on our run today…to be fair we haven’t run together in a couple of weeks as i have been crazy busy and haven’t run much myself outside of practices - but today he was for some reason freaked out by everything and decided to run in front of me like 5 times, which of course makes me trip over him and then he looks at me like “what?!??!?? i wasn’t...
Looking for
My motivation - it seems to of left me and run off somewhere…now if I can only find it…once I do I will go out for a run - maybe in like an hour once I digest the carrots and pistachios I just ate.

post wedding
so the wedding last night was super fun - got to hang out with some great friends and see two friends get married and today i am just exhausted - i seriously feel like i have a hang-over and i only had like 2 glasses of wine…it was such a long week and yesterday was such a long day that so far today i picked my dog up at the sitters (yes, my dog needs a sitter) and i ate some breakfast and i...
i love my new sneaks!!!

It's saturday
Woohoo an as usual no sleeping in as I have a brick (run,bike,run) practice that starts at 8am so I am force feeding myself some food here at 6am then gonna braid the hair - yep I braid my hair on Saturday mornings - actually I try to keep the routine I do on these early Saturday morning team practices as close to what I would normally do in a race day and it helps keep the nerves down on an...
And the lucky sneak was
The Brooks Ghost - Woohoo!! and I supported a local company by buying them :) I can’t wait for our brick tomorrow and to run in them!!!
Oh by the way I am totally going with the sneak thing - screw the “er” who needs it :)

sneakers...
so i have been having ankle pain and went to the doctor this morning and he is saying that i am supinating on my right foot which is creating the pain - so the shoes i have are supposed to correct of pronating which they are but they are now making me supinate….ugh!!! i just bought those not that long ago and now i have to buy another pair - this fucking sucks, running sneaks are not cheap...
The Trainer - part two
so over the week i was supposed to write down everything and i actually did it :) yippee for me!! the trainer said that i ate pretty well (ok not last friday when i had a piece of fudge for lunch) and apparently i am more of a protein person than a carb person - i guess he is going to send me an email with stuff to change in my diet and stuff to add…and i am supposed to keep writing down...

yummy...
i am still eating some of the barley risotto that i made on sunday night and it is still so yummy! the barley are like little chewy pearls of yumminess….seriously if you like risotto try making it…you make it the same way as regular risotto with arborio rice and it is still creamy - you do have to give it a little more stirring to get the starch out than you do with the arborio - but...

Well, since loosing 2lbs last week (somehow) i wasn’t expecting to lose anything this week - but the good news is that i maintained where i was.
It snowed last night and then turned to rain and it was really gross out this morning like that kinda slush when you walk through it is goes “splat” i must of know this somehow as i...
So 5:30am is early
And getting up at that time kinda makes me want to go to bed really early - yeah, it’s only 8:40 right now and it would be super nice to go to sleep, but I wanna watch the biggest loser - however as soon as it is over I am going to bed so I can get up in the morning for some yoga and something else or maybe I will swim…hmmmm - so many choices :)
