The week after Bay Bridge.

This week I took Monday off and did the usual. but I bumped my run up to 4.25 miles And I stepped it up about 2 notches at Zumba! Really boring week really..... hmmmm

Bay Bridge Run!!

This week was weird. Josh was home for Monday and Tuesday, the days I usually run. Wed I did TBW and this week we had a substitute and this lady walked in and announced that she was on a mission! I am here to tell you shes a homicidal maniack when it comes to working out! Yes she has a perfect body but I think she was trying to make us look like her in the 50 min we were there! Thursday I did 4 miles in the morning and Zumba that evening. Friday I took off all together so I would have fresh legs for the race on Sunday. Sunday was the race! I got there at 7 the race started at 8 and I finished in 41:09! I was so excited to see my time. I had crossed the line at 45:35 but my time chip said 41 since there was 10,000 people there it took 4 min to get from where i was across the start line! ya 10,000 people! It was insane! There was a flood of people covering the whole bridge and the road leading up to it and after it!  Runners walkers even people in wheel chairs! It was awesome they had a different band at every mile marker, a Meriacci  band, the Navy Brass Band and the Navy Rock band  it was so fun to listen to them while we were running!  We took the Ferry home it was fun over all and I didnt stop running! While I was doing the steepest part of the run ( 12-13 degree incline) I had this moment where I looked over my shoulder and I could have sworn I saw my dad running with me. Then I heard his voice in my head telling me that I can do it and to not give up. That he was right there with me So I  cried really hard which made the run even harder but it was an amazing experience that I dont think Ill ever forget!

Twas the week before....

Twas the week before the Bay Bridge Run and Missy was scared she has run and run but still doesnt feel prepaired. shes done the running the lifting the training and such. And yet the thought of running the race makes turns her stomach to mush?  Ok Ok im not poet! But this week I did run 4 miles once... I was so tired on Tuesday I didnt even go to the gym at all, Wed. was a killer for my arms, and Thursday was Zumba..... again! Friday I ran about 2.67 miles and my boobs made my chest and shoulder cramp so I had to slow down and jog up hill for 115 feet at a 8.0 but..... I only can run tuesday next week and Im hoping it will be enough! No new weight loss just the same. though I did start having a normal breakfast rather than a slim fast in the morning to help with cramping. Other than that just nervous for next Sunday!

Another week gone!

This week was funky.... I did the whole 3.75 mile thing on Monday. I only made it 2.65  on Tuesday. I dont know why but for some reason I couldnt make myself go any further. I almost threw up while I was running! I was sooooo upset at myself. Wednesday was good I did TBW again with Lisa and it was a laugh! The lady is bound and determined to make me learn how to exercise while  on one foot and twisting and all kinds of stuff. I need new shoes because my foot cramps with the one footed things and in Zumba! Speaking of which, I did That Thursday again only I got really in to it and was flipping sweat all over the people around me! Friday I had to change diapers so I had to do my run broken up. But I lost another pound so I cant complain too much! next week is 4 miles!

Run Missy, Run!

This week was awesome! And by awesome I mean painful!
 Monday I ran, Tuesday I ran, Wednesday, I did TBW alone cuz all my girls bailed out on me and I know why! The lady did all new stuff and I was sore for 4 days! ouch! I did Zumba on thursday and it was painful, She decided to have us do Zumba Toning and so we did the workout but with weights this time! ..... ouch!
 I was too sore to move on Friday so I didnt go to the gym but I did do 6 hrs at the zoo on thursday so it counts. I also lost 2 pounds this week and Im THRILLED! My runs were at 3.75 and will be this week also! TTY then!

Week 8!

Wow can you believe its been 8 weeks? I cant and I can! I feel like I live at the gym and that Im there all day everyday and at the same time I feel like I should be there more?!  This week I did 3.5 miles again on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. The runs were pretty good Im finding that Tuesday runs are the hardest ones to do, I dont know if its because I ran the day before or if I just suck on Tuesdays? Oh well Ill get better eventually! Wednesdays are Total body workout, this week we had a substitute and she had something to prove to someone or something because she tried to kill us!!!!! I worked muscles I had no clue I could work and in ways I had no idea you could work them! It felt great the next day but oh man it was hard! Thursdays are my favorite even though I feel lazy all day, Thursday nights is ZUMBA!!!!! I love Zumba and I havent decided if its because of the actual class or because of the people I go to it with?! I go to TBW and Zumba with the same 3 girls and we have so much fun! We end up laughing at each other and everything the whole time and we really just have fun! But I love Zumba I love the workout and I call it my "easy day" because I sweat the least but it is the workout I look forward to the most! I lost one pound this week, not a whole lot but enough to say I lost something! lol! only 12 pounds to go. I still have 11 weeks  to lose it and Im starting to think it might not happen but hey half a pound a week is still better than gaining half a pound a week! But it sucks none the less! Well until next week! hopefully with a 2 pound weight loss? fingers crossed!

7 weeks down 12 to go!

Well this week was so much fun! The more I work out the more I love it! I am loving my new schedule also! I run Mon. Tues. and Fri. Wed. is Total body work out which is for the most part hell! It is always different and it involves the step, weights, resistance bands, lots and lots of squats and lunges, and it hurts from the second she says ok are you ready?! Then Thurs. night is Zumba!!! I love that class. probably because of the people who I go with, they are the same as who I do TBW with and we end up dancing hard and laughing even harder! I havent lost any weight in 2 weeks but I have decided that I am going to quit worrying about what is on the scale and more focus on who well im doing physically and how my clothes are fitting and who great I feel! This week I did 3and a half miles and its amazing how much easier running is getting! I have started eating half a banana on my way to the gym and I cramp much less and if I take Aleve with my morning pills then the pain in my knees isnt so bad! But all in all a good week for the gym! Looking forward to next week!
