Got lucky again today and was able to run outside. The weather is totally messing with my BIG PLANS to check out my race route tomorrow. Oh well, when I woke up this morning it was cloudy and dry, then a little later it started to pour and then a little more later the sun starts shining. Cripes make up your mind already!
By this time I'm hussling M along to get her to school on time and me on the roads. I was thinking of going 5 miles but the idea of doing it on the "dreadmill" (i ripped that off from some blog somewhere) was not appealing cuz i don't have my little pink radio anymore and the music at the gym sucks.
The weather is still holding out, so I take a chance and get a good 30 minute run in, then made a very brief appearance at the gym:squats and leg press.
My left hip is really bugging me, as I write this my frozen bag of edamame is draped nicely around it. I guess that extra 8 minutes on sunday is taking it's toll and my left butt cheeck is sore too. Just as well I cut my run short. Tomorrow I'm getting a massage. Yeah!

Preparation
Yesterday, Brandy, M and I headed over to China Camp where my race will take place in 2 weeks. It is exactly 20 miles from my house to the trailhead. Sweet. We headed over there around 2pm and the traffic was not bad at all, so I expect early Sunday will be a cake walk.(the drive over that is!) Unfortunately, with Brandy in tow and the Search and Rescue drill in progress I wasn't able to scope it out like I had hoped. Still, I wasn't sure how the hell to get to China Camp and was delightfully surprised by how easy it was to find. I'll definitely check it out again on my own before race day.
The race is at 9am, so today I geared up and hit Wildcat at 9am on the dot. I just love my camelbak. I filled it with lemon-lime gatorade and was off for a long run. Today I started at Little Farm and went allllllllllllll the way to Alverado Park.
Total distance/time 8 miles in 1:48:11
Alverado Park is just amazing. Single track canopied trails for days. It was soooooo hard not to explore, but I knew I had to my butt back to Little farm before the rain kicked in.
I feel good about this run, especially after being reminded by Runner Susan's post on the benefits of longer/slower runs.
I found my picnic table, which sits convienently under a great old oak, stretched, not nearly as tired as I was on that first run. Perhaps due to the much cooler temps and occasional drizzle. I rested for a minute and as I headed for my car the rain started to pick-up.
How's that for lucky?

Whew! I'm back on-line!
Shit hit the fan on thursday night and my computer has been in the shop. My computer guy had to wipe the slate clean and I've got to reinstall everything.
Wow 9 comments while I was away!!
Glad to report the running is going smoothly, though I've been slacking off in the weight lifting department (I'd like to think that all the people I lift, move or transfer from point A to point B qualifies as some form of weight lifting!) and I finally found the access trail for dogs off leash at wildcat canyon. Brandy is a very happy pooch these days.
So, I've got to reaccqauinted with this computer. I'm still trying to access my e-mail!

100 minutes
Today I ran 100 minutes non-stop. Not sure how far I got but that's not as important as the fact that I ran 100 minutes without stopping!
I was going to run the Nimitz but at the last minute decided to check-out Wildcat Canyon.
I didn't hit the trail until 10:35 am, I was moving extra slow from the having taken a night time cold med lastnight, I just couldn't get going. The sluggish feeling had me hemming and hawing about where to run, how hard I was willing to work, which shoes to wear....
Wildcat is off road and the dirt was hard packed, I wore my Keyano's instead of my Montrails and felt the difference right away. My feet felt lighter but my footing wasn't as sure, so I avoided rough spots.
I also tried a new hydration system today, my camelbak dream. It's intended for cycling but I gave it a try on the trail, it worked out well after a few tweaks here and there, I like it much better than my hand-held system and will most likely use it on race day.
This trail is a lot flatter than Strawberry, but without distance markers I can't say for sure how long it is but it felt further. I turned around after about 45 minutes. At 90 minutes my legs grew tired but I felt like I could keep going, a voice in my head kept whispering something about a 10% rule, (up till now the longest I've run is 85 minutes) so,15 extra minutes didn't feel like I was overdoing it.
I was sure to walk a good while afterwards, I thought about what David said(Adventures in the thin trade David) when he couldn't get his stride back after stopping during the marathon, I really understand that after today, my legs felt wobbly and I couldn't of run again if I had wanted to. I found a picnic table and stretched for a good long time, then layed back and closed my eyes feeling the sun on my face and for a little while basked in the utter contentedness of it all.

Because it warms my heart
While my blog isn't the most popular site around I'm glad to say I have a few "regulars". When you stop by and drop a line or two it feels sooooooo great. I dunno why, validation, empathy, or just a pat on the back ...it just makes me happy.
I'm a lurker for sure, I visit way more than I comment and on the occasion that I do submit a comment to someone new and that person takes the time to respond it's especially sweet.
It's like receiving Valentines every time I read my post.
So, here's wishing you and yours a sweet V-Day!

A Damn Fine Day
You just gotta love the weather around here these days, sunny and warm. This morning started out very foggy, until I got to the top of Cedar on my way to Strawberry.......then it began to clear. By the time I hit the trail, Brandy was nearly out of her little canine mind....I've been a bad dog mom lately and she was really ansy, when leaving the house she bolted to the car off leash, hopped in the back seat with that " COME ON LET'S ROLL!!" look in her eyes.
Around a dozen military dudes dressed down in fatigues and rather large looking packs were doing some kind of drill, again Brandy went bonkers, completely ignoring me and curiosly sniffing at them as they headed for OUR trail.
Damn, she would need to get back on leash until we passed them, so in vain I called her but she was too distracted by the men in a long single file line, finally I had to sneek up on her in order to get her back on leash and then endure the humiliating attempt of passing the boys with my crazy dog! She doesn't bark, she's just all nosey pulling me practically to the ground as I'm trying to reel her in and pass without being such a spectacle. Gads!!
I've written about Strawberry enough, so I'll spare you the scenic details.........it does have me wanting to figure out the digital camera and start posting pics though. Someday I'm sure I'll get around to it.
More activity on the mountain. CAL was having a triatholon, I noticed markers and a sign cautioning drivers to look out for cyclists as I pulled into the parking lot.
I didn't see any triathlete's on the trail until I turned around, some of the guy's were walking up the hill and yes, I did feel a tad bit superior...Ha! I couldn't swim a mile if my life depended on it though. LOL
I received my first issue of Trail Runner's magazine yesterday and was reading an article on quad strengthening and going down the steep descents. Bottom line.....practice is what it takes to bomb down those babies, that and No Fear. I was feeling pretty good on the way back and just went for it, until I grew painfully aware that my toenails needed trimming!!
Now I do pay a fair amount of attention to my grooming and hygiene but I'm alway's putting this off. I guess cuz I seldom wear open toe shoes, nor have I impaled my husband when snuggling.
I'm just taking a break from baby quilt #2 , I decided to use some patches I already had so it will be quite different from the first one.
As for the remodel, we ordered the sink and faucet on E-bay, the sink arrived friday, too late for Dwight to finish the counter this weekend , so that's been delayed until next week. The plumber hasn't gotten back to us and my faucet is somewhere between here and so.cal.
The honeymoon is over and I want my kitchen back now please!

I'm a Fast Fueler
According to a diet personality test I took recently at Sparkpeople.com I prefer to not have to think about what I'm eating and tend to be rather irractic with food and eating. I have to agree, I love food but I don't like to have think too much about it, which having said this, you would think a diet with structure and pre-packaged meals would work, but as I said I love food
(real food) and those types of meals leave me flat.
Lately, I've taken a more consciencious approach to what goes in my mouth, and gulp, have begun the tedious task of tracking everything. Now, mind you, I'm not trying to adhere to any suggested calorie count or anything like that, no no no no no no, I'm still very much in the
"Just stop and think about what your putting into your mouth for 5 seconds" mode. Nothing too drastic, just raising my awareness and accountability. Just having to think about food this way is certainly influencing what I do eat. I still have high calorie days but I also have ramped up activity, so in my mind it all balances out.......At least that's what I'm telling myself for now.
Sigh.........Change is hard, but so was starting to run , so was running longer and faster, so is wt. training. So, why should this be any different? I attribute a great portion of my success by starting slow. So, I'll apply the same approach to food.
I'm really working on the water intake as well, it's been easier to do as the weather is getting warmer.
My technique is lacking however, instead of sipping along throughout the day, it's more like "oh shit, it's 5:30 pm and I still gotta drink 32 oz glug glug glug glug" Then I'm up half the night peeing!
16 months ago, I embarked on this running journey. The fact that I'm still here and now reconsidering my diet is encouraging.
And oh, by the way, I've lost 4 pounds.
Today was another short but intense gym workout, 20 minutes on the treadmill, 2.14 miles just under 10 mins miles overall and 3x10 lunges w/10 lb. wts. Today was suppose to be a rest day but there was another potluck at work, and well need I say more?
As mentioned earlier, the weather is warming up and that means the trails are drying up.
And that means Strawberry Canyon is ripe for the picking this weekend woohoo!!
Look out Big Bertha here I come!

Life is Good
It wasn't an especially great run or effort today, but it just felt really good to run today. Seems
I'm getting a later and later start these days, (too many late night talks w/T about the remodel) and I didn't hit the pavement until 9am.
Spring is definitely in the air and I'm just happy.
Have a good day ya'll!!

8 Miles with a cherry on top
Everyone and her cousin were up at Nimitz Trail this morning. Plenty of sun and wiiiiiindy!
I actually chatted with quite a few people today. I met the Lake Merrit Striders and a couple of member's from San Francisco Road Runners Club.
On the turn around I caught up with 2 women from SFRR and one of them noticed me running and dodging potholes, she cautioned me to be careful and I told her I was trying to get used to it due to my upcoming trail race, she then inquired about it and it turned out she and her friend did the half marathon there last year and she smiled and said "oh yeah, there were lots of potholes, rocks and roots." They were a faster than me and we kept playing catch-up, as they would walk up the hills and I would pass them and then they'd pass me.
Later in the parking lot, I arrived probably 10 minutes (total time running: 85 minutes, I had to remove rocks and tie my shoe twice!) after them, we talked some more about the route of my upcoming race and she mentioned that it starts with a gradual 3 mile climb.......I thanked her prompltly for that tip! She then gave me the info/details about the SFRR club and then said "you'll do great" before I headed to the car. The Lake Merrit Striders were really nice too! Before my run I asked them if they were part of Team in Training, and the whole group, about 6 of them gathered around me and told me about there club, details, website etc.
So, opening my mouth paid off for a change. It looks like I may find a running buddy before too long.

Things that really matter
So, I've come to the conclusion that I've been backsliding a bit. Focusing on the wrong things and not appreciatiating the real changes that I've made. The scale isn't the only barometer of success, in fact the idea that I credit it at all is ridiculous, being that I'm not a numbers kind've person.
I learned about a new website Sparkpeople.com and it's not your average weight loss tool.
I'm still figuring it out but their resource center is loaded with super informative articles and the focus is really to educate and empower people to make knowledgable choices.
Maybe because I'm in my forty's now, the things that motivate me to live better and healthier are more internal and have much more to do with gaining greater confidence in my abilities, being a more peaceful partner and mother, and being a happy and productive employee
vs sex appeal and youth. In my experience alot organized wt. loss programing seem to focus on the latter and well I often just felt uninspired.
My 3 miler this morning was sweet, just what I needed to get out of this funk! Thanks to all who visited me this week, I was feeling pretty low, but I think things are starting to turn around.
Have a great friday, woohoo!!

Get Over It!
A few days ago I stepped on the scale at work, now I'm depressed. The scale at the gym last week actually showed that I lost 4lbs, putting me at 153lbs....then I go and step on the scale at work this past monday and it states a whopping 165 lbs. WTF!!!
So, initially upon stepping off the work scale, I dismiss the information, it's electronic and subject to error in my opinion! The patients at work are always getting their wts wrong, which drives the dietician crazy ....anyways, I did my track workout on tuesday and yesterday was a rest day, but today I can't get going.
It's thursday, which as I've stated before, we're under staffed and my workload is heavier, so strolling in at 10 am is not a good idea. I just need to get this off my chest. Am I pushing too hard in preparation for this race and tweeking myself out at the lack of visual evidence?
Oh god, I hate hate hate that I'm focusing on the fucking numbers, but it's worse cuz this body doesn't feel like doing much either.
Maybe it's the gloomy weather that's got me down.
I've packed my running gear, maybe my mood will change this afternoon.

Down Time
Kinda tired today. Yesterday's efforts were short but intense. I headed over to the highschool track near my facility and tried my hand at sprinting. Up till now I've been feeling so strong and accomplished with my running. Upping the ante has certainly kept my ego in check. It would be very easy to get discouraged, pout, piss and moan, but I know better. This thing, this running thing that I've grown to love and need in my life is not easy. It pushes me to expect more from myself, it makes me accountable for what I eat, how much I sleep, how much I hydrate. It is wicked hard most days and then every so often so incredibly effortless. I will get faster and stronger and maybe develop some patience along the way.
Yesterday, I ran as hard as I could halfway around the track and slowly jogged a full lap, repeated this 4x's and then I raced up the bleachers (14 steps) 20x's. Total time 30 minutes.
I also, performed arm exercises several times throughout the day w/my patients using
4# dumbbells.
Today, I'm sticking close to home. Stretching, hydrating and trying to clean my house, something that usually takes the back burner to just about everything.
I just saw the movie "On the Edge" starring Bruce Dern. T thought I would like it cuz it's about trail running in Marin. He's been so incredibly supportive of my efforts.
One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when the main character is sitting talking to his dad and he notices the house has been cleaned and the dad says basically "when the worlds a mess clean up your nest!"
So, on that note I'm going to spend all day reclaiming my dining room and try to get a start on baby quilt #2.
