This evening when Cliff got home, I was already in my running attire. I got out for a 10.62 km straight run. (no walk breaks or water breaks too cold) ...in the slush. My feet feel like prunes. But it felt good to run. I ran 1 hour 13 27 seconds. Not very fast, long slow run at average pace of 6:55 kph.
Tomorrow is my marathon clinic night, and I am not sure what distance. I would think 10 km again.
Until tomorrow.
PS. I did my 100 crunches, 25 push ups, and 50 squats. Catie, Caroline and Courtney did them with me. So cute to see my girls following my activties!

You're such an inspiration to me!! I can't believe how much you can get done with 6 kids tho!! I only have 2 and I find it hard getting our for a 6k run!! Care to share a few meal plans/tips on how you get out of the house for over and hour? DO you run AM/PM?? I'd LOVE to hear more about you're daily routine re;weightloss!! You're SO gonna do this! And I hope to too!!
...and, I was wondering about the vitamins? I know I could do a bunch a trialand error on my own, but I was curious to hear about what you're taking:) thx a LOT!!
Hi Christina,
Thank you so much for your comments! It is so nice to have you here.
I am very scheduled (with room for change) I plan my workouts like a doctors appointment. AND I have a husband that is VERY supportive of what I require. I take time out for myself, because I need it to be able to care for the whole family. Life can be very stressful at times.
As for meals, a lot of salads! Easy to put together. Tonight, I had soup on the stove, some hotdogs *yick* for the kids. So, I preplanned. I ran in the evening (with lights a flashing!)
Well, as you have probably read I lost almost 90 pounds and gained 10 back. So, I fell off the wagon, and now I am back on track.
I use sparkpeople to chart and plug in EVERYTHING I eat in the day, I drink a lot of water, and I try to exercise for an hour daily. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.
As for food, read YOU: On a Diet or go to www.realage.com and there is an abundance of great ideas/meal planner on there etc.
Basically I am all about calories in vs. calories out. I find when I work out more, I naturally eat better. And I crave stuff like hard boiled eggs (and chocolate :D)
I eat chocolate *dark chocolate* in moderation every night. I need to savour something yummy!
You can do it too! Happy New Year!
Hey Cathy - thanks SO mcuh for the response and the tip to check out sparkpeople! I was just curious about the vitamins you're taking and how each helps? Care to share?? Thanks again for all the help!! eeek - i still need to run!!
It's all a bit hard when I work 5 days/week too!! But I gotta do it!!
LOL! Feet like prunes. I like that. (But I'm sure the visual wasn't so great!)
