awesome cheese fries

started off the haldigon training on a tummy full of "awesome" cheese fries, "suicide hot" wings, a laeger, and gossip with nina, but it was worth it. did tuesday's workout, 30 min tempo and felt like i had some good energy flowing. must've been the wings ;) feeling a whole lot less stressed, yay for endorphins!!

this is how i feel about working out today. but it's haldigon time, so here is my iou to myself that i WILL work out today. 30 min tempo...come on k, that's not so much!

another weekend gone

after dancing the night away friday, i felt like i was unsick enough for a real gym workout... hit the treads at home b/c it was sooooo cold out, did another 4 and felt ok. tomorrow starts haldigon! but since i have to go to delaware tomorrow and didn't get much studying done this weekend, i'll probably skip the first day. good start kate ;)

sick

i finally got the cold that's going around. since i only just got it and so far am not feeling too sick, i worked out just to see how it felt. logged in another 4, felt pretty good til the last half a mile, but i can't ask for much more than that with how congested i'm starting to get! total

vacation planning!

decided to get a run in even though my calves are a bit tight - but it was for a good cause - dinner with the girls and vacation planning!! didn't get the flight booked yet, but we will soon. now i just have to think what i want to do with my day of the vacation!! the possibilities...suggestions welcomed (we're doing the san fran area)!

total

keep on keepin on

on the treadmill did 2 miles at 0.5% incline, another 2 at just sub 8 min miles with no incline. my calves felt sore today during the run, but cardio-wise, i didn't feel that i was pushing it as hard as usual. i think my body is mixed up! i'll blame it on all the sleeping i did this weekend :)

another long day

4 at 0.5% on the treadmill. avg'd under 8 minute miles. felt good after my exam knocked me around today...

trucking

tired, but trying to avoid cranky :)

8 minute miles x 3. going for a lighter week to give my muscles a chance to rest up for next week, when i think the haldigon training starts? can anyone confirm that?
anyway, i've decided the treadmills at the gym are harder than the ones in barringer, either that or i'm dehydrated from too much coffee and too little sleep and too much stress. or all of the above, it's not been a fabulous week. so i guess i should be unlazy and haul my ass to the gym and avoid convenience just for convenience's sake. on the bright side, AC this weekend, baby! woo!

it's gonna be forever before i reach bucknell, but boy will it be sweet!

listening

5 at 1% incline. i feel like i may be doing too much, but everyone says to listen to my body and it'll tell me if i am. so far it's been really happy, so i'm going with it. will be a lighter week regardless b/c it's test week, so that should give my muscles some time to chill out.

update

snow

another 5,pyramid'd up to 8.0. felt good, but antsy to get outside...

chugging away

hungry

4 miles on the treadmill in 32, ran 2 of them at 1% incline.
guess my metabolism is revving up - my appetite has been voracious lately. sweet.

update

late night

5 on the treadster, miles 2 and 4 went hard. felt really great, but thought it important to do the mile intervals. heart rate was about 85% i think at the end, but dropped to 60% within a few minutes of walking, so i think that's about right.

marathon!

ugh, long day today

started off the morning with a half hour bike. felt real good, but also didn't feel like riding long. gotta work on the patience ;)

go eagles!!

oh wait...since we have to wait until next year, i went for another 4 miler, on the treadmill. didn't feel great, but pushed thru it. so that's a good thing.

wax day

ok, here's what i did - pretty good estimate! 4 miles
except i can't get it to show up, so here's the best i will do for now...

my route

brazil!

so i went salsa dancing last night. just went to watch, but then i met a really cute boy and after some conniving, i finally tried it. it wasn't easy, but it was so much fun...and merengue was so much easier to do. so fun!
