Seriously people....get it together

Today was not a great day.
My alarm went off an hour early to get in some yoga time. When it cried out with its annoying little beep I promptly snatched it off the nightstand, reprogrammed it for an hour later and went back to sleep. All without ever really waking up. Pretty magic. But when I woke up the second time I was mad that I had skipped yoga time and would therefore have to fit in a workout later (and to be honest if a workout doesn't happen before 10a.m. there is a 99.9% chance it ain't happenin)
Wait I missed yoga-damn
And then I went to school. And tried to come up with a date where 5 academics can be in the same room for an hour and a half to do the oral comprehensive exam component of my PhD exams which is apparently more elusive than:

and


and my ability to obtain these shoes


Email conversation from earlier today:
Me: Dear Comps Committee I have picked theses dates as the dates for my exam. Please let me know if this works for you. Specifically this will be the date of the oral component. Please let me know if this works for you.
Comp Committee: These dates are fine. No problem.

Therefore I walk my happy butt down to the office, reserve space and call it a day and send out the following email.

Me: I have reserved this room for this date and time for the oral part. Thank you for your quick response in scheduling my exams.
One member of the comp committee: I am out of town that date.
Me: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (head explodes)

SO I get to pick up that issue Monday. Yippee for me.

When I came home from school/work I stuffed my face full of crack aka 
Why Stacy's pita chips are you so addicting, stop sabotaging my attempt to get pointless glitter shoes
and did not want to workout and got all cozy with the idea of me, PJs and TV but then I remembered the stupid streak I made up for myself. And I worked out. So 13 days strong of exercise streaking. I felt so good after doing yoga I even went for a 40 minute walk. Apparently the streak is doing some good in the motivation department.

Training Week 10/9/2017-10/15/2017....or lack of...

Image
....not to give the ending away but this week was a bit of a bust. Last weekend I felt under the weather and by Monday- bam- felt like death. And that freakin cold was a stage 5 clinger and really lingered. SO. MUCH. COUGHING. Monday: Nothing but naps, and couch time. Luckily this guy was around to keep me company. Tuesday: A light weight workout at home. Skipped my scheduled run due to lack of ability to breath without hacking up a lung. Wednesday: Tried to get back on the wagon. Did 2 miles on the treadmill with 8 30 seconds fast, 30 seconds recovery thrown in. Coughed so hard I almost puked. Got off treadmill and laid on floor. Did manage to lift weights during lunch. Bonus points for me. Thursday: After a night of coughing, reset my alarm and slept in until 7. Ran 3 miles outside in the evening with 3 minute run/ 1 minute walk. Felt good until the last mile and then that walk break began to creep up in time as the coughing and snot production increased. But it got don

The forever taper

Image
The weird thing about running all of the marathons and half marathons in a month and a half's time is that it really throws off the normal schedule of working out. I haven't been lifting cause I don't want to hurt myself and because I need all the power my under trained body can muster to finish the next two marathons on the schedule. Getting burnt out on lifting seems not smart right now.  I also haven't been running very much unless it involves a finish line and a medal because I am worried about doing too much and my tendinitis coming back and frankly I have just been tired and sore from doing a marathon and then a half back to back. I did three miles this morning and it took forever and I was just not interested in running at all. Completing three miles took all of my willpower. Not doing anything physical has left me with some extra time on my hands which I have used to catch up on some reading. This book is dark but as I read on I liked it more and

Wisconsin Marathon Race Review

Image
First things first- I loved the Wisconsin marathon. It was a great race and I had a ton of fun. I achieved my goal of finishing in under 5 hours and I guess have a new marathon PR by about 43 minutes.....even though this one is seven years after my first marathon. Most importantly there never came a time when I was running the marathon where I regretted my decision to run one. Miles toward the end got tough and uncomfortable but as one lady I ran with exclaimed "hey we are running a marathon today! This is awesome!" It was awesome and I am super excited for my next attempt at 26.2 miles. To the details! Packet Pick-up: packet pick-up was low key at the Best Western in Kenosha the day before the race. In and out in about five minutes with number, t-shirt, cheese samples and a bag full of flyers for other races. This race has two other packet pick-ups on different days near Chicago and one near Milwaukee. They make it easy to get your number. I love the design of the ra
