Yogi Yoga

11-4-16

Oh man, so yesterday I wasn't able to get my run in due to conflicting plans. No biggie, I thought, I'll just make it up in the morning. Well, that didn't happen either. Hmm... my body said 'no thank you' and promptly rolled right over. I feel well rested, though my body is still a bit achy. Yoga it is! I'll focus on mobility and foam rolling. I won't consider this a 'lost' morning, I'll just think of it as a rearrangement of my priorities! Maybe it was super important for me to stretch it out this morning.

We've been out of groceries for the last week or so and neither of us has had the time or the inclination to actually go to the store. I keep saying I'll make a meal plan so we know what we'll be having and the right amount of stuff to buy. That hasn't happened either, clearly not a STRONG priority for me at the moment. Raz and I decided to do date night tonight,but it looks like that will be going to SAM's and possibly Winco to stock up on food. *hot date*. I've been eating too many carbs and not enough fruits and veggies. My protein is fine but my fats need a kick in the pants too. JillFit's Action Academy recordings are so inspiring that it makes me look at my 'conundrum' of struggling with nutrition and want to make solutions.

TailWind Nutrition

4/17/17 TailWind Nutrition is what I use during long runs or cycles. I was drawn to the brand because it promises to get you enough calories for an hour of exercise, in liquid form with "no gut bombs". This is beyond important to me because I have a notoriously wimpy tummy. I have had more GI DISTRESS on a single long run, than most people have in an entire year. I started out by ordering their Sample Bundle , which has 7 different flavors for about $17! That's insanely cheap compared to other brands.  My favorites are Raspberry Buzz and Berry. I like how strong the flavor is and true to form- no tummy aches and I've had good energy. Several months ago I applied to be a Tailwind Nutrition ambassador, which would more or less mean I could endorse the brand, get discounts and be counted among a handful of incredible athletes. (Yeah I knooooow. It was a long shot, but I'm not one to let "no" stop me). There's a guy named Cory that I follow on F...

Ragnar Texas Recap!

4-10-17 Y'all may faintly remember that I did the Texas Ragnar; running from Batrop to Luckenbach with 11 other women in a single van. Van trip down We stayed the night in a roach-coach in Bastrop and while I slept like a log, 2 of the girls in our group did not sleep a second. Something about me having to kill roaches in the room really freaks some people out. That 4am wake up call came early. Our start time was at 5:45am, but naturally we had to be there an hour before hand to get "prepped" and to hear the safety stuff. I was runner #2 *heh*, so I received the slap bracelet (baton) around 6:30am and took off on my first leg.  Leg 1: 4.20 miles Actual distance/time: 4.5 miles in 48 minutes (10:38 pace) It was beautiful and now I wish I'd taken a few photos. I ran as the sun was coming up and through fields of wild flowers. There was mist covering the pastures and scenic bridges and cattle abounding.   I was fine with this because I star...

Food Fail

4/19/17 Baby Update: Cletus is 16 weeks now and the size of an avocado! I am starting to really pudge out and only late at night does it feel like a bump! Workout Updates: I have been swimming a few times and was amazed at how good it felt. I've been able to swim a mile in around 58 minutes each time. This is about what my old time was so it definitely feels good. I have more or less given up on doing freestyle and am just sticking with the breast stroke for now. It's slower, but breathing has it's pro's too! Thanks to increasing *growth* I've been using my Buband when I swim to help keep things under control. I love that thing and it's seriously been my pregnancy saving grace! Yesterday morning I did 10 miles on the bike trainer- holy heck, when did that get so hard!? It felt like my thighs were on fire after 1 mile! Clearly, I'm going to have to up the work on that! I now only have 46 more miles until my 'Virtual 70.3' is complete! Hah, wh...
