A new plan...Weekly Goals

Well this past week didn’t quite go as planned! After my unexpected time off I had to rethink the plans and focus elsewhere instead. Luckily the week was packed with Halloween fun for O.
Super Cooper!

Fitness Goals
  • Morning workouts Monday through Friday – 3 Days only
  • P90X3 x 6 days and 2 more core focused – Lots of core! 6 Days of X3
  • Try a new workout – I did HIIT bike and elliptical workouts
  • 3 pull ups in a row (stuck at 2 right now!) - Almost
  • Run 3 days, no technology, just run whatever pace and distance feel good – No running!


Non Fitness Goals
  • Stick with meal plan this week – Yes!
  • Blog 3-4 days – Yes!
  • Start editing my thesis proposal – This is the plan for today
  • Work on organizing downstairs – Started but a lot more to do


I’m sure I’m not alone in not believing how quick this year is going, how can it already be November? I was at the store yesterday and already Christmas stuff fills the shelves! On the positive side it is a new month and a little closer to vacation and warmer weather, right?! One more week in the boot and no running (at least) then I can reassess and see how it feels but I’m not sure my Thanksgiving Day 10K will be happening. This week I plan to focus on healthy eating and other types of workouts.


Fitness Goals
  • Morning workouts Monday through Saturday
  • P90X3 x 7 days
  • Swim
  • Get my bike on the trainer
  • Read more about Maffetone Training, anyone used this method? Thoughts?


Non Fitness Goals
  • Stick with meal plan this week (Guess I better make one first!)
  • Blog 4 days
  • Research low carb, high fat, high protein diet for vegans. Taking a little time to look at every aspect of my life to see how it might improve my running. Thoughts?


What are your goals this week? This month?


Off to meet my team, then get on my bike trainer and watch NYC Marathon! Good luck to everyone running today, I’m hoping that will be my fall race next year.

GoMacro Thrive Review and Giveaway!

All runners know that post marathon week(s) are filled with the fight to keep eating healthy yet indulge a little. I try to carry healthy snacks wherever I go to avoid the munchies. Needing gluten free makes finding healthy foods quick even tougher. I have my go to foods but love finding new options with such variety. I think my only complaint is the carb to protein ratio which for each bar is 3 or 4:1. I prefer a snack more along the 2:1 carb to protein ratio. To help this I add a few extra nuts to the bars when I have them for a snack, problem solved! Like all GoMacro products, Thrive are USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Gluten-Free certified, 100% Vegan, and soy-free.

Turkey Day 5K

Image
We have run this "race" many times, through name and sponsor changes, course changes and nasty weather. This year I went into it with hopes of a PR considering the perfect weather, but I failed to think about the massive amounts of people who would decide to run now that it wouldn't be too cold. I'm not sure the exact numbers but there had to be well over 5000 people, many who had no clue how to line up for a race. I lost track of the extreme numbers of walkers, kids, strollers and dogs I passed after it took almost 10 minutes to cross the start line! I spent much of my time weaving and trying not to trip over dog leashes or people stopping in mid course. I pleased to hit Mile 1 with a 7:40, still 1 minute over where I hoped but I figured much slower given the conditions. I finally found a guy to follow who making a path through the course and was able to hold that pace with a little trail running through the downtown parks. I didn't care since it was Nove

A few Races...

Image
Stillwater half was my final pre-marathon race. The weather was a mess, hot humid and gross! I ran with the 1:40 pacer to keep a nice pace and actually held myself back the first haf but yikes then we turned to the road and no shade and it all faded! I struggled to keep the "easy" pace as did everyone around me. I was happy to finish just 45 secs behind the pacer 1:40:45 and not too far off my goal of 1:38. That heat was brutal... Photo credit Stillwater Gazette Grandmas Marathon  For those who don't follow me on IG  @marathonmom28  here is the short version... I started great, on pace to PR then I became hypothermic (yes in June) and once the rain started it was painful (thank you Raynaud's). I finally walked off the course between mile 19-20 where Matt met me with dry clothes and a warm car. Grandmas this is strike 3, I think I am done!  I spent the car ride home thinking of next races and wondering if I could jump back in, (dumb I know). As we drove
