Still giving the left foot a break from running despite the fact that it felt better, I actually started out with Cathe Ripped with Hiit Lower Body Circuit but after the warmup realized doing it won't really be giving the foot a break so took the DVD out and put in Kelly Coffey Meyer Muscle up doing the Shorten total body workout, this was perfect only 2  sets for each compound workout and 8 reps which mean I was able to go very heavy. Felt totally worked out and this clocked in at 49 mins which makes it a complete winner in my book.



Still working on life's plan, learning more about myself daily but ultimately knowing that life is good and I am bless.

Today was a GOOD day.
Woke up at 5am who does that on a weekend haven't been able to do this all week, put in a load of laundry, spoke to James, dealt with woke, read, then went to the basement and did D2S P3 RAMP + Complex metabolic workout using a 16kg kettlebell then onto the treadmill for 2 easy miles.

Consume a egg sandwich, honey waffle and coffee then it was off to Everett Covered bridge for hill repeats, this was so much harder with the 3 inches of snow on the trail, I was so proud of myself no walking just slow steady pace up and down, I was only half a mile behind what I did 2 weeks ago, so not bad. Garmin is missing 1 hill loop, accidentally turn it off when glove was removed.

Tomorrow hoping for 10-16miles but will cut it short if I have any problem with my right ankle, which is currently not very happy, problem with snow covered trail you don't see the roots/branches on the ground so the ankle get quite a bit of a workout.

My Kelly Coffey Meyer DVD came in the mail today, looking forward to doing them, will probably, start then next month in a rotation with Cathe.

Tryptophan Two Hour Two Mile Loop Fun Run

3rd group run for this long weekend, so after the hilly trail run wasn't quite sure what the body was going to do today and what pace I was going to be able to keep. The last 2 runs started at 9am which was a treat so getting up to the 7am start today was hard, got up with no issue except for a slight tightness on left calf which quickly worked itself out. Got dresses had 2 slices of bread with Nutella and mixed up a bottle of Accelerate (this is what I have been using all weekend and it had worked out great with minimal soreness).
Got to the running store late at 7:02am but they were running late since we didn't start until 7:15, got my #, the intention is to drop apiece of paper with your number on it for a drawing at the end of the race for each loop you do (didn't win any thing).
Wasn't sure what pace I wasn't going to go but knew I wanted to do at least 5 loops, started out the first loop in the 9:30 pace and felt fine so decided to see if I could hold the pace for all 5 loops. At the end of loop 5 was still feeling great and had time to do 1 more so went for it. Great run glad I got up to do since it was also nice a lot of runners I haven't seen in a while. Got a chance to test out a Brooks running vest, very nice and comfortable.

Got back home and did 52mins of strength training using Kelly Coffer Meyer's workout DVD.

With the new training plan so far I have only been schedule to do 3 miles on Monday and after a busy weekend with the temptation to sleep in knowing all I have to do is only 3 miles I have been having no problem getting up even when I hit snooze I can still get in my workout.
The goal for the 3 miler has been to maintain a pace while keeping the heart rate between zone 1 and 2, so far it is working I am having to push to maintain the pace but I am steadily watch the heart rate hold even when I have to increase the pace to get the average to be where it is suppose to be.

Felt great this morning when I woke even though it was a very busy weekend and recovery from the Saturday trail run has been great, after running this morning was able to get in Muscle Definition workout 2 from Kelly Coffey Meyer 30 mins DVD, straight to the point boy does she likes shoulders and triceps.

Nutrition still stinks since I can't stop eating but at least it is a lot of fruit, love the apple season, picked up some Empire and Fiji apples for the week, so easy to take and go.

Still not sure what I want to do for the rest of the season, seems to be just as much fun run/clinic over the weekend as races, cost of races just seems to keep going up and house appliances keeps breaking currently dryer is on it's last leg, taking forever to dry clothes. ahh
