Shorts for supermodels and other random things

Workout this morning = 6 miles in 1:03

A magical magazine fairy came to my office yesterday and gave me these:
Thanks C!
A nice break from studying for sure....although in a few weeks when I am taking my PhD exams I will probably be thinking 'I should have spent less time reading People and more time reading political science stuff' but hopefully this will help me get over the Heidi and Seal split. So unexpected.

I haven't mentioned the streak in awhile....it ended when I traveled to Temecula. Whoooo glad that pressure is gone. I am too lazy to workout everyday. Sometimes I just need to lay on the floor/ couch and read People. 

I ordered some Aspaeris pivot short on Thursday of last week with their awesome cooleronline coupon code for 50% off and they came in the mail yesterday. When I opened the package I was like oh H...E... double hockey sticks no. There is no way these things are going on my bodacious booty.....they are like shorts for tiny children or supermodels...
Tiny tiny shorts and these are the XL
but they fit. I believe they are made out of fairy dust and unicorn hair and they are super comfortable and fit perfectly. 

I have yet to do anything besides prance around my house in them but once I wear them for a run or after a run for recovery purposes I will let you know how it goes. Kind of wish I had one pair in every color. 

I am back to calorie counting since I would still like to loose 10 to 15 more lbs and my current plan of just stuffing my face in moderation is only maintaining and not resulting in shedding the lbs (I haven't calorie counted since before Xmas). But I really hate calorie counting because you learn things like how this morning I drank around 150 calories in coffee creamer. Umm not great but I am not sure I am willing to give that up......so dilemma there....

Okay but for real I need to go study.

    Aren't they great?? I thought mine were too small too but then they totally fit. And they SO help with recovery!

    I love celebrity news/gossip/ramblings! The Heidi and Seal breakup was a shocker ...

    I kept hesitating on the shorts because I was afraid they were for supermodels, too. If they are made of fairy dust and unicorn horn, though, they are definitely for me.

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
