I had to stop twice during my 8 miler Saturday to pee. This could be problematic during my half as I'm only getting more and more PG.

Snow/rain/freezing rain is coming tomorrow. I'm 17 miles into 59 mile week and I'm struggling with how I'm going to make this happen, especially Thursday's run. I hate the treadmill so much. But I may be hitting it up. 

Oh and I can't stop eating Girl Scout cookies.

I've been sleeping like crap this past week. It's such a vicious cycle though & it's mostly works fault with a stressful project going on.

Speedwork went really well yesterday. It's amazing what being able to run outside with clear roads can do for one's time and mental fortitude.

Core work is the worst. Strength isn't much better. But I find having to check in with a coach on if I've done forces me to do it. So maybe it's going to help me in the long run.

Also, why will winter not end?! It's likely I'll have to figure out my hill workout on a treadmill b/c snow/ice/cold are keeping me inside. BLERG.

My right leg has been aching during most runs for a few months now and it isn't getting better. just the right one, right along the IT band. I assume it is PG related but I am not sure how much longer I will be able to keep running through it. Going to the chiro again to see if it helps. Plus it is cold.

Any AW'sor brags?
50 straight days of yoga and I am definitely seeing an increase in flexibility and strength, so that is fun. I am excited to try more advanced stuff like inversions after this kid is born.

I was out most of last week with this stupid cold, and I still feel not right. Worried it's going to turn into something else because that allllways happens.


Any AW'sor brags?
Did a relay race on Sunday, and it was so much fun! I've never done a team race before. I had to adjust my A goal because I was still feeling lousy, but I nailed my B goal. 

AND before the race teammate #1 was saying we had a good chance of placing in the female relay and I was (internally) like "yeah, right..." 
Well, teammate #2 ended up spraining her knee during the race, which put her off her target time by 3-4 minutes, and even with that, we ended up 4th overall for female teams, shy of 3rd place by only 29 seconds!

So first of all, I think I need to start setting more ambitious goals for competitions and/or believing in myself (lol), secondly, we are all excited to run it again next year with a goal to place. 

[keweenawlove]

DS1 got the flu on Saturday, DD got it Tuesday, DH appears to have it today. There's a small chance that DS2 and I already had it and didn't know it, since we were sick right before DS1. I'm basically quarantining DS2 in his room when he's home, in case he didn't have it, because I don't want him to get it. Oh, and DH having the flu cancels DS2's first birthday celebration on Sunday. Luckily we're just doing a small thing at home. So anyway, I have been stretched thin with kids home sick. Hopefully I will get in a couple workouts in what's left of the week.
