First, a photo from my drive today… It was absolutely stunning in So Cal ?

Last night I was lamenting to Ben (yes, I lament – what, you don’t?) that I, after taking a few days off for my knee’s sake, want to get quicker as well as fitter as well as thinner. I told him I discovered a half marathon in MD that is in nine weeks…

Me: “I want to lose nine pounds as well as nine minutes in nine weeks!”

Ben: “Okay babe.”

Me:”Why not? Μπορώ να το κάνω! I’m ill of being realistic; I’m going to do it! I’m going to cut my half time by nine minutes as well as lose nine pounds in nine weeks!!!”

Ben: (watching Seinfeld re-runs) “Yeah, do it.”

The morals of this story:

I feel like DREAMING huge ideal now as well as even if I don’t shave a full nine pounds off the scale or my pr – I’m going to make major enhancements in the next nine weeks.

I requirement a new challenge

Ben doesn’t care

So, my next race is the Dorchester Crab Run half Marathon on April 10! I am thinking about utilizing the very first half marathon training program. It is extremely tough – particularly since I only started speed work this week for the very first time. But, I do believe speed work is a needed evil if I want to get quicker as well as I believe a three day a week running routine may be a great concept ideal now thinking about my knee.

For my eats I’m sticking with my lose the Dough goals since I believe they are balanced, healthy as well as do-able.

This afternoon I had a huge salad full of cole slaw, chickpeas, onions, cashews  as well as carrots. as well as a bagel with avocado!

Before leaving to pick up Ben I grabbed some grapes…

And a vitawater.

I had a great deal of chocolate today…it started out inocently enought – with a single PB cup on the road.

But, after dinner I likewise tried this chocolate candy somebody restored from Cuba. Does eating this make me a communist, Adriel?

It shows a photo of a coconut on the package, however it doesn’t taste like coconut at all.

For dinner we went to a regional Mexican location – shocker, I know. I bought a pescado wet burrito with beans as well as veggies. It was dee-lish! I ate about half as well as I’m sure my leftovers will be missing from the fridge before I get to them.

And of program obligatory chips since they must kick you out of Mexican restaurants if you decline to partake. Αστεϊσμός! If you can withstand chips at a Mexican location I commend you.

I like my mom, as well as not just since she has a freezer stocked with skinny Cow Ice cream sandwiches ?Now, I requirement to go to sleep since I’m fading fast. I like restaurants that provide you candy or a treat when you pay the bill. Classy, I know.I understand you’d all like to chime in with questions, comments as well as complaints about my new crazy 9 as well as 9 in 9 plan. just believe of me as Lucy as well as this being one more one of my crazy schemes!!! any individual up for being my Ethel?

Maybe the warm CA air has gotten to my brain, however I am around this new training as well as healthy eating program ?

Είμαι χαρούμενος. It’s been a while folks, be nice.

Ρώτα με οτιδήποτε…

Today’s publish brings me to a recent ask me anything question:

Question: exactly how do you boost your speed when running? I’m currently running between 11-12 minute miles. I just started less than a year back as well as completed my very first half in October running 12:55 avg. Is speed work the only way?

Monica: very first off, fantastic task on your very first half marathon!!! That is something to be extremely pleased of ?

The finest method to boost speed is with speed work, however you can likewise much better your half marathon time with building a stronger training base. After my very first marathon I asked lots of professional runners exactly how I might do much better next time as well as of program speed work was suggested, however lots of people likewise asked about my base – exactly how lots of miles a week I was running, what were my longs runs, etc.

I believe making sure your body is completely able to deal with as well as dominate a specific distance likewise assists with your time. working on both base as well as speed with nearly definitely assurance a pr ?

I’m going to begin integrating speed work in my training next week as well as I’ll be publishing a lot more details as I go along, to ensure that may assist provide you an concept of what speed work is like. great luck!

hello and happy Monday! This morning the sky was gloomy and drizzly on my boot camp. We were able to find some cover to do HIIT and strength moves though. You don’t need a lot of space to get a good work out in!

Then, I ran a slow 4 miles. My legs are tired. I’ll give ‘em a rest tomorrow.

Remember last Thursday when I bought Cinnamon Raisin Muffins? Well, I just ate the last one for breakfast! I ran out of them fast because I had 1 1/2 each time. That’s either a major fail or major win, I can’t decide.

My muffin was served with egg whites topped with cheese and green onions. breakfast of champions people who like english muffins and eggs.

I know it can be harder to workout when it’s cold and gloomy outside. But, I have a little Monday motivation for you…

It’s national Pie Day.

Want some pie? work for it.(image source)

Question: What kind of pie are you working for today?

I’m a cake girl, not pie but I’d go for a good piece of berry a la mode. Actually, I’d eat anything a la mode…

So, I made breakfast before work as well as really hoped to get in a workout at the gymbo. Egg burrito with chuckling cow as well as an apple.

Like I pointed out this morning, my fitness center is having a huge celebration today as well as I grabbed a few grapes since they were there.

And I was able to capture in a quick breast as well as triceps workout! All I requirement is to in shape in 30 minutes of cardio as well as I’ll be happy!

On the method house from my morning shift I stopped to get groceries. We were quite much out of whatever – milk, bread, eggs, veggies…

I totally stocked up on nuts since I like them as well as dug into the canister on the method home. If I don’t have fat with breakfast I absolutely feel hungry earlier!

I did a total grocery haul, however shopped without a listing or a plan.

So, I generally spent our entire grocery budget plan for the week as well as I’m not sure precisely what I’m making?!?! When I got house as well as put whatever away I made a decision to make a meal plan with what we have as well as make it work.

Meal plan for 3/26/12

Breakfasts – Egg sandwiches or Oatmeal

Lunches – Soup or Salad w/ leftovers

Snacks: Yogurt, Nuts, String Cheese, difficult boiled Eggs, protein Shake

Dinners:

Monday – Turkey as well as Kale Soup (inspired by Giada, however I’m making up the recipe)

Tuesday – wonderful potatoes as well as crab cakes (frozen)

Wednesday – WW couscous with beans

Thursday – poultry stir-fry

Friday – heading out of town… so I stocked Ben up with juice, chorizo as well as eggs. That’s all he needs to be happy.

Saturday – Out of town!

Lunch was a salad as well as string cheese for protein.

And half a protein bar sample I discovered when I put the nuts away.

Question: Do you do all your grocery buying for the week in someday or hit up the stores often? I like going to the store, however I end up costs method as well much.

Hola! I made it… I made it to the start line, I made it to the finish line and I made it home. The RnR Las vegas half Marathon is done! I consider it a success that I had it together enough to accomplish all that – the benefit is that it was a BLAST.

Here are the top 10 reasons to run RnR Las vegas half Marathon…

1. This is the only race I can get my friends to come to because you know, it’s vegas baby!

2. You can stay limber with some pre-race cardio.

3. The weather is the opposite of humid. good for running, bad for keeping my hair curled…

4. Pre-race carb game is strong.

5. So much access to adult beverages to help ya forget you have to run 13.1 miles at 4:30pm in the afternoon.

I guess tequila brings out the animal in me?

6. location location location. This course can’t be beat!

7. tons of stores so it’s no big if you forget something.

It was FREEZING so I went shopping for some warmer gear to wear for the race. I grabbed this vegas beanie…

And considered this pizza / hot canine one-sie, but was vetoed by my peeps.

(I know what you’re thinking… yes, I was a weirdo barefoot in H&M. #dontjudge)

In case you’re also thinking, I DO need AN adult ONESIE!!!

Red Plaid adult Onesie or Leopard footie PJs  – You’re welcome.

8. people you meet at 4am during a game of corn hole will be really amazed you are going to run 13 miles the next day. They might even throw the game because they know you’re not going to win the race and winning corn hole is the next best thing…

9. You can get married in the middle of the race!!! ideally to someone you already know…

10. It’s kinda like Run, Eat, Repeat but betta.

Now for some race details…

Pre-race fuel – breakfast-y foods. Running an afternoon race is hard to navigate with fuel. I try to keep it to what I’m used to and hydrate well.

I ended up wearing the beanie and found a “I can sleep when I leave Vegas” tee for my toss gear.

I was stalling heading to the start line because I didn’t want to hang out in the cold. I made it barely barely in time.

Note the teddy bear man below…

The course starts on the strip toward the south end and you run all the way to downtown and back down the strip.

My hydration was all off because I’m not used to late races and I had to stop and pee around Mile 5. I don’t like doing that, but it’s better than peeing your pants and/or suffering the whole time.

RnR Las vegas half 1:55: 45 done and done.

Post race victory lap.

And then it was time to leave Las Vegas… I was sad but needed some sleep!! overall it was an epic weekend, very fun race and everything I could have imagined for a vegas trip with my peeps!

Question: Where is your pleased place?

I was inspired by Tina to come up with my own “Lose the Dough” plan. Tina is trying to lose the dough for her big 3-0. since I don’t have a milestone birthday this year (but love the name) I am going to lose the Dough for the big 1-0 (as in 2010)! Her plan and goals are similar to mine, but I really believe every body is different and you must write your own diet book (or blog in this case).

Okay now onto my life…

I joined a gym last night and was on a mission to hit up a Cycling class this morning. The problem was I didn’t make time for breakfast and the class was at 9:30am (meaning I wouldn’t get home to eat breakfast until close to 11am). So, before I went I had a few handfuls of blubes and hoped for the best!

The class was fun! I actually love taking classes at the gym, it’s all the other stuff that intimidates me. and I would rather do a boot camp workout outside than be inside all the time. I’m actually considering becoming an instructor since I have had a love affair with classes since last year when I was training for my first mary and only ran 4 days a week. Hmmmm…

When I got back I threw cottage cheese, chia seeds, blubes, 1/2 an apple and 1/2 a banana in a bowl for breakfast.

I also had a piece of toast with PB. I am loving this new bread I bought from TJ’s. It is so chewy.

I was still hungry after this and went back for the rest of the apple and naner…

I’m thinking lunch will be these spring rolls since they’re about to expire…
