2wks and 3 days out....

Its getting close to that time and I cant believe in 17 days.........










I will be done with school!
Its been two LONG years getting through course work, but in 17 days I will have my MHA!
And then,life will return to "norma"l and I can focus more on my athletic goals again
: )
I've been scouting some Pro shows to do for late spring. There are a couple ones in May I have my sights on, and one in September...
But choosing a show totally depends on if there is another move coming soon or not. My husband has a few really good career opportunities headed his way, which will lead to moving out of state (again). For those that have been following along this blog for a while, this will be our 4th big move over the past 6 years.

So depending on where we end up this summer/fall totally depends on when/where I will compete.
 BUT I will compete this year,
I WILL be running at least one epic race,if not more
AND a few more adventures will be thrown in the mix,
stay tuned yall, I promise my journey to the pro stage and beyond will resume soon!

solid week of training

last week was a good week for training, more so with weights than running. but some good workouts and a decent run Friday, considering I ran right after I did legs with plyos for active rest.
the workout:
3x12 single leg leg press,with jump lunges for active rest
3x15 leg curl with blurpies with explosive jump tucks,
3x12single leg leg press with lateral lunges
3x10 tri set of dead leg lifts ,barbell squats, Russian jumps (so not fun!)
3x20 super set of hip abd/add
then followed that up with 6x400's (was running short on time so did 6 instead of 8-10 )
I started off not really wanting to do any type of speed work due to just my legs feeling like they wouldn't turn over. I was thinking about just doing an easy jog, and when I got started chose to do repeats to see how it felt.
the first repeat was slow, but then some ppl jumped on the treadmill next to me, so I felt obligated not to look like a pansy. while I didn't go balls to the wall fast, I did get some decent turnover,
splits looked like this:
1rst- 1:49
2nd- 1:38
3rd-1:35
4th-1:33
5th-1:32
6th- 1:30
left the gym feeling like jello but in a good way.


and then my youngest caught the sickies over the weekend so I haven't had a chance to lift since then
: /
Really wish other parents wouldn't bring their sick kids to the gym. This is my biggest pet peeve!!!!!
If your kid is running a fever, has green snot running from their nose , coughing uncontrollably,has diarrhea and/or has thrown up DO NOT take your kid to the gym. I just don't get why parents would do this. I can understand that sometimes you don't know you have a sick/contagious kid until too late,but seriously, if you know your child has been sick, do NOT bring them in until after they have been symptom free for at least 48 hours.
stepping off soapbox now
: )


going to try to get some miles in on the home TM during nap time.
races coming up in a few weeks!
