1hr of running + 1hr of gym = OH YEAH

HI. I rock.

Today I woke up and headed to my local coffee shop;) to daydream and email and check tumblr and write letters and read my Bible. Totally an amwesome “ME” time. Then I headed to…… the trails!

Before I started my run I spotted my ex-boyfriend with one of his friends (little did I know at that point in time that he wasn’t gonna be the only “out of the blue” thing I was gonna be seeing this morning).

I waved effusively (yeah, we’re friends) and then I just started my run. Run up and down little trail mountains… run, run, run. Then at mile 1.5ish I spotted LIONEL!!! Last summer I blogged about this one cute turtle I found on the trail once… and I named him Lionel. I saw him today again! (almost a year later!). Kept running with a huge smile on my face, hit the turn-around point at 2.5 and ran back.

I was approaching the park when OMG SNAKE! A couple of weeks ago I spotted a snake, but it was half of its body out from like a bush and it wasn’t moving… but this one WAS MOVING, across the trail. I jumped over it and freaked out. Stopped. Turned around and walked back to watch it do its sliding thing.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING! haha. Then I drove to Mother’s Market to get soy milk, Boca burgers and chick’n strips;) LAWL.

THEN, I went to the GYM!
I did a speed workout. 4 x 400m. and 1 x 800m at pace 7:30min/mi and 7:00min/mi. Then I proceeded to do arms and core.

TOTAL MILEAGE: 7.5

Came home, took a shower, ate and left the house to get my sister and drive her places. Now I’m home again. I’m about to have some coffee with toast YUM! And then I’ll call it a day.

If all of my days were like today, I’d have a killer body in no time.
  

UGH.

So I stepped on the scale today.
119.0
What the heck? I don’t understand. I should be on the 115’s by now. My body is so weird sometimes. Maybe is water weight? Maybe I just need to run more… who knows.

Today I have a 5-miler planned. It all depends on time though. If I get out of school early enough I will, if not, then… well, I won’t. I’ll just do 3 miles.

ALSO, although my abs are outlining, I still have some fat…. hahah random. But it’s TRUE. I jus need a tad more discipline and be able to plan my meals a bit better. It is during these times that I start beating myself up for every little thing I eat, which is bad bad bad because my diet shouldn’t make me all sad and grumpy, ya know? And speaking of abs, today is my core-workout day. So good luck to me;)

Hope all of you are having a great day.
It’s ALREADY Tuesday!!! -____-

Treadmill, speed, core, and… greek yogurt!

Tonight I ALMOST stayed home instead of heading to the gym to do my 3-miler. But I reminded myself of how much self-hatred I go through when I turn my back on working out… so I headed out the door.

Tonight was a speed night. I pretty much did my first 400m. repeats inFOREVERbut it was ok. I warmed up for a mile and then did 400m. fast, 400m. moderate twice and then ended with 800m. fast and 800m. moderate. A total of 3.0 miles in 26 minutes. Not bad, but not great… but whatever, I am getting there:)

Then I proceeded to work on my core… fun. Did all sorts of abs workouts and then ended by adding a 1 minute ragular plank and 30 seconds side planks. After that I came home, took a shower and had someOikoswith honey. YUM! They’re good, and they’re organic and cheap!

Good workout overall, can’t complain on my performance… I just gotta keep up with the clean and healthy eating and I will reach my fitness goals in no time!

Today’s run and core workout

Today I ran.
Hurray!

I ran 3.15 miles. I did 10 mins of warmup, 2 mins hills, 2mins rest X3. Finished with 10 min cooldown. I felt GREAT! I was a tad dizzy but I felt great, and was reminded why I love running and pushing myself so hard sometimes. Then I came home to do my core/abs workout and that was fun as well. I did 10 reps of 6 different “styles” and a total of 3 sets. Also I added 30 second of planking after each set to add more toning! Felt reallyyy good. All need to stick to now is a cleaner diet… seriously. I wanna work on that tonight and hopefully post it later on…

Is anybody using any diet plans to get more lean muscle/abs???
