Nichole's Running!!

I ran on the trail with Leslie and Katherine.

I went to the flex class and the WCCC.

I ran on the tredmill doing the 20 mins. tredmill Hit!

I ran outside around my house.

I went to my flex class at the Washington Community Center.

I ran outside around Washington Fields.

I went to a flex class at the Community Center, then after the class I ran on the tredmill with the tredmill hit program! It was rough!

Today I ran 7.01 miles outside with Bri. We ran up Washington Fields road and turned and ran down the Washington Dam Rd and then back home a slightly different way. It felt really good and we kept a pace of 8:43 per mile. My left knee is pretty sore now though!

Today I ran on the tredmill cause baby it was too cold outside!!

I did a flex class today. I was also invited to go to a speed training workout tonight! I have never done one of those classes before but due to family things and laziness I didn't go, next week for sure!

Today's run was great! My husband rode his bike with me while I ran! The time always goes by faster when someone is with ya! We then took the dogs for a walk because they hate when I take off without them! they are too little and young to run that far yet!

I went to my flex class today and then after that I hit the tredmill and ran a work out of called tredmill hit, it is a 20 min. speed drill. It lasted about 2 miles and then I just kept running it out for 5 miles at a slower speed!

It was a good thing I was running with a friend today or I probably would not have gone because I was not feeling it! It ended up being a great run! She took me through Little Field and back to our houses! We kept a pretty good pace, 8:50! I am always glad I went and felt great after!

Due to having to take my daughter to the doctor and finding out she has strep throat that put a damper on my running for today and I am sure tomorrow since she wont be able to go to school because she will still be contagious, poor thing! So I hit the eliptical on the hardest work out I could get! It did work me out and was a good change from running! That is life folks, you never know what is going to get in the way and mess your day up but my day ended up not being messed up, it was great spending it caring for my little girl and knowing that I was the only one that could make her feel better! 

Today I had a lot of errands to get done and I didn't want to go out too early in the cold so I hit the gym and ran on the tredmill. I had been struggling all week to run because my daughter had been sick and I had lost the drive! I was so glad I went I felt so better after I was done!!!

Today I went to the gym and went to my flex class, which was great! I had my husband drop me off and then I wanted to run home. It is only a little over 4 miles from the gym to my house. It was a little rainy but I didn't let that stop me! I wanted to try to work on my speed and I was pretty happy with myself! I kept a 8:07 pace, that is the fastest I have ran yet! It was definetly a challenge and I couldn't last too much longer but it was a nice accomplishment for me! yay for the little things in life!

I just worked out on the tredmill today!

I was so excited to run a 9 mile route I had planned out, but then it started raining pretty good! I guess I am not that dedicated of a runner as I thought because I decided not to run in the rain but I was not going to miss my long run for the week! I ended up running at the gym on the tredmill! I kept a pace of 9:05 which I was happy about.

I was trying to get my dog to come with me, she is still a pup and i am trying to train her to put her hornas on. she gets so excited that i couldn't get it on her. After trying for about 20 mins then smashing my finger i gave up and left her home and took off! It was a good and needed run!

Today I went to my flex class. Then that evening I went to a spinning class. It has been forever since I went to a spinning class, but since one of my friends is the instructor she talked me into going, it was great!

Today I had my flex class i went to and then after I got on the tredmill and did the tredmill hit! it is a speed work out! i really was not feeling like running it today and not very motivated, but once i got running, it was just what my body needed i felt fabulous!! that night I also played basketball, which i haven't done for years!

Today was a crazy day. Kind of confusing and I will try my best to explain because I really need some help understanding my body and what I did wrong and how to avoid this. I have been running pretty good for the past year. I have ran one 1/2 marathon and am planing on running more as well as a full marathon. But after today I don't know if that is in the cards for me!! This is how my day started out. At 9am I ran a 5K in 25mins for my kids school fundraiser, then right after I ran 1 more mile with my 7 year old in the kids run, it was jog and walk nothing big.  Then about 1:00pm 6 of us girls piled in our van and my husband drove us out and dropped us off for our weekly long run. I have been running long runs for the the past several weeks increasing them by 1 mile per week.  This week I was on mile 10. When i run this long I always have GI problems and usually don't eat anything for fear of diarrhea. But i was told that by taking a S tablet, salt tablet, this will help. also after my 5K i drank some protein and had some scrambled eggs and granola bar. I took one salt tablet when I started the run and one more 30 mins. into the run. I also had one at the 5K earlier that morning.  during my 10 mile run i ate one of the energy jelly beans and towards the end of the run I ate 1 thing of caffeinated gu, which i have not had gu for a long time. i also try to stay away from caffeinated drinks because i get really bad headaches. I felt great during the run and had a lot of fun!

After the run it was not so fun! I had the worst stomachache, i was in the bathroom. I was trying to throw up. Nothing was helping! it was horrible! It lasted for hours. I finally took some Zofran that I had left over from a previous illness. my face is flushed. what is going on with me?? my body doesn't hurt or ache, my stomach is the only thing that is giving me grief. how do i avoid this or prevent this?  Help please!! 

Thanks,

Nichole

I was feeling better and wanted to prove to myself I was still going to be able to run! I headed out with Rose and went for a short run! It was great!

I went to my flex class today and took my sister with me who is in town! then we went to the tred mill where i ran a mile and she did some walking. it was such a beautiful day that i ran home and she took the car home! it was such a great run! loved it!

Today I went to spinning and got my husband to come with me! It was a great work out. When I got home my sister was getting ready to go on a 3 mile run. So I decided to go with her and we took it slow! It was good but I was exhausted by the end of the day!

Today I went to Flex class and my sister came with me!

Today I had my long run and I went with a friend. It sucked! It was chilly outside, which didn't bother me but what did was the wind! We ran a bunch of hills against the wind and it was rough! But i was glad I did it after I was finished!
