i really, really want
either pizza or macaroni and cheese - i really don’t think my body can handle the grain and the dairy though - so do i make it vegan or gluten free…cause really vegan and gluten free just isn’t going to cut it. i would also like to know why i am dehydrated…i’ve been drinking water like it is going out of style and am still really thirsty :/

This could work
So i just read @swimbikeren’s post about posting the good things even when you are having a shitty day. So here it goes - since I am having a poopy (yep i just said that) week.
1. I just finished a 1/2 marathon on saturday and was 2 seconds under my goal time.
2. In doing that I shaved over 30minutes off my time from past year
3. It is sunny out today
4. I have the most wonderful...
Really
I’m watching Locked Up Abroad on national geographic - I mean really what is with these people? Hey let’s go on vacation, I’ll pay for it, but you need to smuggle these drugs for me - sure that sounds like a good idea…um yeah really not so much common sense people, common sense. I just don’t get why some people have no clue? Moral of the story being a drug mule is a...

I will not cry. Must… …be… …strong…
I held it together until the point where he asks to have the trailer attached to his bike. I know two little boys I’d love to hug right now - an not the “come here with your creamy whit...
OMG these were the best pancakes!
seriously! and they were paleo!! woot!! ok so you know how i’ve been all meh and tonight i decided that pancakes were what i was having for dinner….so the dilemma almond flour or coconut…hmmm…i went with almond and then it went like this
1 1/4 cups almond flour
3 eggs
about 1/2 cup apple sauce (mine had cinnamon in it)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
and it was kinda...
still meh
it’s cloudy (shocking) but warm-ish….and i am still a little meh - i think i figured out why though. i’m not doing the STP and it is about a week and a half away and i am really bummed about it :( i also can’t go down to PDX to see the guy when he finishes it as i have the dog and the hotel they are staying at doesn’t allow dogs so there is that - i suppose i could...
Seattle Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon - the recap
ok, i have some time so i figured i would get going on the race recap while it is still pretty fresh in my mind.
started the day at 4am - way too early, really, can’t they plan these things better? just kidding, it wasn’t so bad…and since i prepared everything the night before it was way easier. i had my hard boiled eggs all ready with my banana and my almond butter sitting out...

clothes are layed out
and the sushi has been eaten (yep, sushi pre-race food:), the eggs are boiling and i am now working on just chilling out for the rest of the evening as the alarm is going to go off really obnoxiously early tomorrow morning…i’ll see ya all on the flip side :)
oh and the funny part
that i totally forgot to mention in my pre-race anxiety post is that i had a dream last night that i showed up late to get my race packet and they didn’t want to give it to me and then on race day i forgot my spibelt and gu and phone and only was wearing one shoe (the right one)…
pre-race anxiety...
Yep I have it! i guess there is a first time for everything, right? ugh…seriously i’ve never had race pre-race anxiety like this. as i sit here typing this on a dark, chilly, raining november (wait, it’s june not november) day and as i am watching my nuun bubble and dissolve in my nalgene i feel the butterflies build up in my stomach first there was one now there are a few all...

3 days to 1/2
really more like two days and i’m frustrated - frustrated that i have done so much training and now things are starting to hurt, why now…why does my foot start to hurt and my left hip and right IT band - why couldn’t you all wait until the day after the 1/2 to hurt….i know it will be a better 1/2 than last year, i am stronger and a little bit faster and well lighter so that...

tribander:
“…pursuing a number on your scale is not the path to success. It will drive you insane, though. But that’s probably not your goal.”
Read this to see what is possible!
This is a reminder to me that the scale is not always my friend. Meaning that if I never weigh what my license says…ahem I…
oh tribander you wise, wise woman! it is very true though - the number on the scale...
to up grade or not...
ok so i have an iPhone 3gs - i love it but lately it has become really, really slow and doesn’t like to do a lot of the things i ask it to do…george (that is it’s name) has become lazy in his old age is the best way i can describe it really…but i am on the fence…do i upgrade now or do i wait (and wait) until the 5 comes out….and since no one knows when that will...
torture!!
so i went to my doc today and really it is a form of medieval torture - i mean it is making my ankle/foot/leg feel better and all, but man it hurts like a bitch! oh, but i do have some lovely blue kinesio tape on my foot/calf now :) 1/2 marathon is next weekend and i get one more torture session doc appointment before then to get all taped for the run.
NSV - the towel
so i had this revelation the other day at the gym. now i very rarely take a shower at the gym before work, but the other day i had to, as i just didn’t want to get up earlier than 5:30am to come home and shower before my doc appointment and then work…anywho…like i was saying i showered at the gym. i don’t know if your gyms are like mine but we get one “large”...
a lesson in hunger
today i got up at 5:30am and was at the gym in the pool swimming laps by 6am - i can’t eat before i swim, seriously i need to wait like 3-4hrs. so i didn’t, i had a few shot blocks and that was good. after 30min of swimming i lifted weights for about 45minutes and then had to shower at the gym and go to a doc appointment for my ankle/IT band - apparently the ankle is a nasty shin...
so annoyed
WARNING RANT AHEAD!!
ok, now i love my guy - a lot, but at times he drives me crazy. he does commericial real estate and lets just say the market kinda sucks so he really doesn’t have too much money. so i have been buying the majority of the groceries and stuff like that. he is also training for the Seattle to Portland Bike Classic (STP) that i can’t do due to the hip flexor (which...
sooooo apparently i was tired
i ended up taking the day off from work today - well kinda i am still doing work from home…i woke up this morning with a headache and scratchy throat and was exhausted…i texted my boss and told him i was going to work from home and then fell back asleep until 11am…really 11am i don’t remember the last time i was fast asleep until that time. although when i woke up i am...
Swim
I can’t wait for a nice low impact swim tomorrow :) I’m a little sore after the 11miles - whew - marathon training is going to massively kick my ass!
Cold!!!!!!!
Ice bath so cold!!!!! I’m hyperventilating a little bit - but the cold kinda feels good….it’s soooo f’n cold.
So we just did 11 miles this will be the longest run before the 1/2marathon in two weeks - hmmm it’s not so cold any more I think I am kinda numb now, nope just moved it’s still cold!! Anywho it is a lovely day here in Seattle sunny and in the upper...
moose!!!!
actually i meant mousse! i am soooo making this over the weekend all i need to buy is the chocolate chips :)
i will let you know how it goes!!
pup update
he seems to be doing better this morning - still can’t/won’t jump in or out of the truck but at least he isn’t as sad looking as he was yesterday. He ran down the hall a little bit and then decided he wanted to lay down when we got to work today….so i am keeping him calm for today so he can get better - i think he may have just tweaked his leg or back jumping out of the...
Pup is not feeling well
He is having a problem with his one back leg and I am a little worried about me - I mean he is my buddy, my shadow and he got really sick a few years ago like so sick I thought we may of had to put him down. I was suppose to be at kickball, but well yeah I’m concerned about my pup - so I let the guy go on a bike ride instead and I am hanging with the pup…
bike ride
so went on an bike ride today with the guy - seriously the first time i have ever been on a bike ride with him…it was nice - but i did have to tell him how cutting someone off that is in clipless pedals is not very nice (really does anyone know why they call them clipless pedals - you clip into them!) anywho once we had that conversation it was better and now i don’t have to do my bike...
