Sparring

 Needed that tonight.

Sept 30: 2 loops apartment complex in ~7 min after a good workout in karate

Now, I know I need to do more sit ups and push ups. But tonight felt good. I'm going to get these kids to be tougher sparring partners in the next few months. And I love doing it.

Almost October

Sept 23: 1 mile ATA

Sept 24: 1 mile ATA

Sept 25: 1 mile ATA

Sept 29: 3 mile run (8:30-9 min miles) + 3 mile walk/hike on the Rims

Today's run was beautiful. Nice weather, nice breeze. Now time for grocery shopping and dinner!

Sunday

Sept 22: ATB 1 mile

Definitely haven't accomplished all I'm supposed to yet, but haven't really felt a pressing need to either. I'll work on the Practice Committee document to night, but that's probably about it.

Got my washer/dryer yesterday and did laundry last night and today. Is awful nice to have it and not have to drag stuff out of the house to get it clean. 

And I need to get back in shape. Push-ups, sit-ups and a healthy diet. Maybe try out CrossFit...

Justin's Visit

So Justin came to town to interview this week for the third gyn oncology position. He's great, his wife is great, and it would be wonderful.

And I spent most of the week trying to recover from the cold that I've had. Blah.

Keys

So I decided to go up on the Rims this morning (or afternoon). Brought my fuel belt and as hoping to go for 3-4 miles. So of I went, with the mapmyrun app to measure the distance. 

First problem. Got through about 6 songs and noticed I hadn't heard the mile marker yet. So I tugged my phone forward only to find it stopped at 0.86 miles. It was at that point that I realized I was able to check my phone with both hands. Which meant I wasn't carrying my keys, which I had put down to put my belt on.  Yikes!

Turn around and fly back - ran a sub 8 min mile to get back. Total distance somewhere around 2 miles, I think. And thankfully, the keys were where I left them on the ground.

Sept 15: 2 miles on the Rims

Another Week

Most of the week I made it out in the morning. Except Friday, when I had to run after grappling. This morning, the race was canceled because of thunderstorms, so I ran a mile before my massage.

Sept 11: 1 mile ATA

Sept 12: 1 mile ATB in AM (went into work a little later)

Tomorrow, I'm going to watch the Montana marathon, walk in the Out of the Darkness event, and finish my slides for the two presentations next week!

Another Mile

Crazy thunderstorm last night. And then taking it easy today after my race yesterday.

Wait a Second

Sept 7: 5K Stride for Pride

So this morning, I got up late and debated all morning about if I was going to the run or not. I had signed up last night at the last minute, and finally got myself organized enough this morning to get up and out. I arrived at 8:55 am for the 9 am start. Found Robin, who also happens to be the mayor's wife, and we set ourselves up in the front to start. The gun went off, and we were off...

as the 4th and 5th runners overall and the 1-2 females. Never have I ever been that far up in a race. I hung with Robin until we re-entered the park and I found out we had a loop left instead of going right to the finish. Robin pulled away and I sucked it up until the end. 26:24 for me, 5th overall, 2nd female overall. Got a thermos, a city brew gift card, and a The Awareness Project (TAP) ski hat. And Robin got her first time as the overall winner for females.  Pretty awesome!

Ahhh...sleep

So good to catch up on sleep. 

August 30: ATA at night

August 31: ATB at night
