Total Distance

5.00

Came home and did total body circuit weights for 15 minutes also. My thoughts on today's run are this: Stacie has found a new speed within herself. One that I have yet to discover. I think it's great for her and I'm not mad by any means, I'm a bit frustrated with myself bc I don't understand why I cant feel as strong as It seems like everyone around me is! I think I will start bringing my music with me though bc she is getting ahead of me more often than not now. I'm not angry at her, and I surely don't want to hold her back. She does still push me and that is good. I just need to bring my daughter with me sometime so I can feel like the strong one. It would be good for me mentally to run with someone sometime that I can feel like I am the strong one. Does that make sense? Like I said, I'm not angry at her..I'm frustrated with myself. I have been saying "oh maybe I'm just having a bad day.." But those "bad" days are turning into more than just a few. I cant look at it like that. I just need to think that I'm having a good day and I'm doing the best I can. I need to stop comparing myself to anyone else. It's just hard to not do that when I see her so far ahead of me. I don't want to ever NOT run with her, like I said, it pushes me and I have to see this marathon through with Stacie. I ran my first mile with her. I just need an attitude adjustment and I need to incorporate more weights and nutrition. I'm already good with the nutrition, but I could always be better.

Cleaned the house and then did the 15 minute lower body weights and 15 minute upper body weights. {I really like this DVD Stacie}

So what are you so angry at Stacie for? Lol!!

I know how you're feeling. This why I like running so much, because it's just me against me. But yeah, sometimes I wonder why I was given the slow gene! Lol! Don't worry, you'll come along just fine with consistency. Next year at this time you'll be wondering how to slow yourself down a little.

From Lysa on Wed, Aug 04, 2010 at 16:31:10 from 174.52.25.64

You are right JD, it is me against me. And for some reason I seem to forget that. And I know that you have been telling me better consistency and 6 days a week will do the trick for me. I don't know why I don't just listen to you. This schedule we are on I feel is good, It's not 6 days a week but I see it gradually building our weekly mileage. Having said that, I think it will be nice when it's over and I can go back to running just to run. That's a nice freedom. I remember when you were running 9.30's JD, It's been fun to watch you become faster before my eyes.

btw, how was the dentist? Are you in pain?

From Stacie on Wed, Aug 04, 2010 at 17:09:07 from 174.52.21.251

Yes. It's me against me. I'm not trying to race you Lys like I said this morning. I like to push myself to see what I can do. You can run 6 days a week if you want. I personally love my cross train days, especially the swimming. The power yoga and other dvds(Jillian and Jackie Warner) I do strengthen my body to help me run stronger/faster. That's how I feel anyway. I'm still trying to lose weight so I feel I need to get my heart rate up mainly on the shorter runs so I feel I'm getting a really good cardio workout.

From Lysa on Wed, Aug 04, 2010 at 18:39:22 from 174.52.25.64

Stac, I love the cross training too, and I'm a big believer in weights. I want to do it all! And I know you aren't racing me. It's me trying to race you. That's why I said he's right, it's me against me. Not me against You. I just need to get over my mental issues. I'm such a headcase. You are awesome and what you do is an inspiration to me. Don't stop. {I'm going to call you}

From Lysa on Wed, Aug 04, 2010 at 19:48:59 from 174.52.25.64

okay, I feel like I stirred things up. Scratch this whole post. Tomorrow is a new day and I will be stronger and wiser because of it. Stacie you are one of my best friends and I love you. I love you for what and who you are. I love that you are competitive and strong. It makes me stronger. Always meet your full potential and don't let me or anyone else hold you back. And JD, you are also one of my best friends. And you are a douche. And I'm very grateful that I can talk to you two about how I feel, I know you will understand me better than anyone who does not run will. So thank you and now I will shut up. Happy Happy Running, today, tomorrow and forever! : )

I don't know how important a literal 6 day week is to gaining running fitness. For me I just want to keep an overall consistent base with running, over time. Some weeks it might be 3 or 4 days, other times 7 days a week. So many priorities, running can't be first. So I just try to run when I can and keep it enjoyable. It's always a challenge to train up for a race, which is a good thing.

From Lysa on Wed, Aug 04, 2010 at 23:05:46 from 174.52.25.64

JD, you're not really a douche. It was just getting too warm & fuzzy and I had to end it. You know I love ya.
