Slackersauce

I took some very much needed "Lysa time" and went on a run. In spite of the fact that I was getting 900 phone calls and texts. There is drama all around, when you're sitting at home" {that's my version of there is beauty all around} FREAK!! NOW THE SCHOOL JUST CALLED AND MY SON THINKS HE'S SICK AND NEEDS TO COME HOME!! I don't believe him. Whatever. At least I ran. See what I mean?? There is drama ALL AROUND WHEN YOU'RE SITTING AT HOME!! I guess I should have been gone longer. 

I sound psycho. That's bc I kind of am right now. Peace and love no regrets. 

Windy run. My upper leg is bugging and It makes me look funny when I run bc I don't want to put pressure on it. Whatever. Got my heart rate up and that's what matters.

My friend posted this cool quote on fb today so I thought I would share

 "Pain is temporary, It may last an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit however, it lasts forever." -Lance Armstrong

Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever.  no regrets.

I felt really heavy and bogged down. Not the greatest run in the history of the world by any means. But still, no regrets. 

Chica blew past me going up NC. I said "you're kicking my butt! Good job!" then she apologized. Ha. I said "No worries!" and thought to myself..'remember that one day that you actually beat someone running up here? that was cool.' Anyway, no regrets. 

dressed way too warm. Had on tights and a long sleeve shirt. Could have worn shorts and short sleeve. The wind is a little cooler but it felt good bc I was so hot. It was an okay run. no regrets.

I really don't like running in wind. I would take running in snow any day over the wind. I am not feeling awesome lately. Don't know if its bc I'm eating the wrong things, if I have a bug, if I'm stressed out, I don't know. Maybe a combo of it all. But it does feel good to have the option of running to help with it. No regrets. {that's a lie. I wish I went further.} But no regrets that I ran. 

Not much. I have a bunch of places I have to go today but I just couldn't let this beautiful weather go to waste completely. I wore short sleeve shirt and capris and came home sweaty. Awesome! I tried to push it but my splits kind of said otherwise. That's lame. When you think you're going faster than you are. But No Regrets. Bc it was BEAUTIFUL!

Pretty weak week. Wind fest 2012 is taking place out there again. Also I witnessed an accident. There was a cop trying to pull over an Audi with some teenage boys in it and they seemed to be wanting to escape him so they hurried and made a quick decision to turn left onto a dead end {not too bright} and a buick was trying to turn left out of the circle. So when buick thought audi was going straight they went and then audi turned and buick hit audi. Cop had his sirens on and pulled in and about 1 min later 2 backup cops came. I just stood and watched for awhile then got bored and left. Pretty exciting though! I was waiting to see if they were going to get arrested, but while I stood there nothing was happening but talking. 

Felt good to get out there even if it was just a little bit. Here's to hoping for a bigger week next week. no regrets 

Bryan Kest yoga 1. I figured out that doing down dog stretches my butt muscle that hurts more than anything else I have tried. So yogameister it is. 

I wasn't fast today by any means but I felt better than I have in a long time. So I consider it a good run. Daughter is home sick today but she's 12 so I can leave and go run. Which is nice. Been thinking about the Salmon a lot the last few days. Every time I do I get butterflies. I wish it was over with already and I haven't even begun. Only going to allow myself to make up positive things about my running abilities this time though so hopefully that helps with my mental game. Still, I can't imagine running 26 miles right now. The way I struggle through 5 right now makes it seem impossible. And that's probably the most I have let myself even think or talk about it. No regrets. 

Also my butt felt better yesterday than it has in a long time so I'm going to do yoga again.  

Quick run, I have to take all the kids to the dentist so I didn't have much time. It's cold out there! The sun was making the air sparkly and pretty though. I felt decent. Run felt good. I visualized crossing a finish line when I got to my street. ha! No regrets

 I saw my friend riding her bike so she rode along side of me and talked to me for awhile. That was fun. Its absolutely GORGEOUS outside. You HAVE to get out and do something. Anything..no regrets. 

Went and mapped out our route for Save The Day 5k! I'm excited. It's going to be fun!! We only walked it and I ran about a mile of it so I don't feel like I should really log the 4 miles of distance since I wasn't really running. But I was out exercising so that's good right?? Oh I hope this all goes down smoothly and I'm not forgetting anything. This is so much fun!

Nice temps out there. This run was hard during miles 1,2,4 &5. So mile 3 felt good. Which was nice. Ran up the hill on Falcon, the hills are what hurts my butt/thigh injury so I've been avoiding them. {well I mean the bigger ones. You can't help do hills in this hood} But it felt pretty decent today. We'll see what the day brings. No regrets.  A lot on my mind so it felt good to get out and think amongst myself. 

Yoga. Bryan Kest 1. {52 min?} I felt a lot looser and stronger this time. Became quiet in my mind and accepted where I am bc I'm already there and all of that good stuff. No regrets

Felt all out of sorts today. Scott woke me up in the middle of the night bc I was having a nightmare and I was talking in my sleep. Then I was having another crazy dream that I woke up out of when the alarm went off. JD you and the gang were in that one. We were all in Jackson Hole and SM was mad at me bc he wanted me to go talk to the prophet and tell him to quit building temples on the mountains bc it was ruining his bike rides. We were fighting about how that shouldn't be my problem but he was convinced it was. And you were mad at me bc I was putting on makeup and it was bad for the environment. Apparently I spent the night making everyone mad. So now I'm worn out. ha!   

My music died at 1 mile. Super annoying. I hate listening to my own breathing bc I feel like I'm breathing so hard and then it makes me feel like the run is really hard. I started singing "When the music's over.." bt The Doors in my head but it wasn't helping. 

 For the music is your special friend, Dance on fire as it intends, music is your only friend, until the end, until the end, UNTIL THE EEEEEEEENNNNNNDDDDD 

 I'm going skiing tomorrow with my family. That will be fun. No regrets. 

skiing with my family

My mileage is suckish. My body is pretty worn out from skiing yesterday. My daughters friends woke her {us} up at the crack of dawn to take her to breakfast for her birthday. Really nice of them. And then I have 10 of them sleeping over tonight. Its going to be a mad house. I will hide in my bedroom all night. 

Since my mileage is suckish, I tried to go fast today. Garmin said otherwise, but I was breathing pretty hard and I ran up the hill on 17th. So I tried to make it count. NR 

Ran along 1300 East bc we had to go to IFA so I just had Scott let me out and ran home. Not very far run but I worked hard. I have never run up Waters Lane before bc the hill scares me but I did it today. Actually I tried sprinting up it. Wasn't as bad as I had made it out to be in my head. But since I'm a spaz I do that. Make things bigger than the are. I'm really trying to work on that. Felt good to get a run in. Busy day with games/practices/basement. No regrets.
