Friday Workout - Tempo Run

Yesterday I woke up with a pounding headache so I slept in. I went for a quick bike ride around 5:00 pm with Todd and Timmy. We did about 18 miles all flat by the lake. It felt good going out then when we turned around we hit a headwind...UGH! No wonder I felt so good going out.

This morning we did a tempo run. 5 miles total. 1 mile warm up - 3 miles at 8:20 pace - 1 mile cool down. I felt good on the run and the tempo is getting easier every week.

Tomorrow - bike ride

Memorial Day 10K

Me, Jill and Jen

I did my first 10K on Saturday. The run felt good. We kept it right around 8:40 pace. Drank at miles 2, 4, and 5 (just a sip each time) and did shot bloks at mile 3. My legs felt good the whole race.

Today's Workout - Run 8 miles

This morning started bright and early so we could get 8 miles in before 7:00. (Man I love that it is warm and light out in the mornings). We ran a new loop today out to Will's Pit Stop - down University - the up past Provo High and over to Grandview. I didn't love how long we were on University Ave. but it was a good loop and exactly 8 miles (well....7.99 on the Garmin). I took an Acel Gel at mile 4 and felt pretty good the whole run.

Tomorrow....morning bike ride

Summer Training 2009

I've decided that I'm going to have this blog be a place I can put our weekly training schedule as well as how I feel during and after workouts. We have a lot of events going on right now and I want to keep a journal of them and have something to look back at when I need motivation.

And the Winner is...

We did our final weigh in, took our measurements, and pictures.

Kathy Lost:
Weight: 19.5 lbs
Inches: 12
Body Fat: 5.7%

Timmy Lost:

Weight: 24 lbs

Inches: 12.5

Body Fat: 4%

So the problem is....who is the winner? Timmy won 2 of the 3 but the rules were body fat % and I won that. I think we'll call it even and just be so dang happy that we both lost so much weight.

It feels so great to be back to pre-prego weight within 4 1/2 months. It's a record for me. Now we have to maintain through the next month of holiday parties.

It's been a while

It's been way too long since I've posted updates on here. We are just about to be finished with our contest. Next week is the official end so we'll take "after" pictures, do our measurements and one final weigh in.

I am down 18.6 pounds total
Timmy is down 22 pounds
Todd graciously left the contest when he got his new job - traveling didn't work well with his diet - maybe next year...

Broken

Our brand new scale hasn't been working so we haven't weighed in for a few weeks....Timmy got it working tonight so we're back on track for a weekly weigh in this Friday!
