Stuff and things: running edition

I'm super proud to say that last year I ran a total of 800 miles. Woot woot!

Why aren't screen shots in focus? Weird right?

This year, I want to run 1000 miles. I have yet to figure out how to put that into my Nike app. 

Not possible perhaps?

I lost a lot of my speed since I took a break from running to go out of the country. 

This was the treadmill run, where someone touched finish on my treadmill when I wasn't finished. Boo!

Oh my goodness, this run I was out of breath the entire time! I was talking and I was running faster than normal. 

This run was bananas because it was snowing. It got to a point where running was not a good idea. So we walked and made it back with no injury. Winning!

So half marathon training is ramping up but there's a new class at the gym. Do I take the class and skip one run a week?

I am thinking about it. On the nutrition front, I will no longer enjoy the free breakfast on Wednesdays at work. Small steps being taken here. I'm considering veggies and eggs instead of oatmeal. I need all the protein and oatmeal can't provide that. 

Stuff and Things

-I'd like to thank the bloggers that commented on yesterday's post. Your sweet comments always help me out!

-The half marathon training is back on for Route 66 in Tulsa. This time, I'm running by myself on purpose. I'll be running intervals because those hills are mountainous. 

-My nutrition has not been spot on. Thankfully, I'm not the only one with an expanding waistline. Misery does love company. 

-Tomorrowish, will be a legit post on this beer and the Red Earth Brewers club meeting. I say -ish because I hate commitment and body pump starts at 5:30 am. 

Stuff and things

++I'm late in posting and linking with Joey and Kristin. Or I'm early for this week. Whichever. I wasn't very motivated last week.

++It snowed, which wreaked havoc in my life. I couldn't run outside! It's only three weeks until the race and my long run was over two weeks ago and it was only 8 miles! I'm psyching myself out. I can totally run a half marathon. I've done two.

++You deserve a good post on the Red Coyote Pack Pint Runs, which will happen when the creative juices are flowing. And that is not today.

++Even without my long run, I still ate pizza. It was glorious. (As all pizza is.)

++I drank some good drinks this weekend. Last week, I maintained my weight. If I don't lose any this week, I'll blame this delicious concoction.

++Some kitties were very cold tonight. This is their finest hour. They aren't talking. If you don't believe how much these guys can talk, just hit up youtube with "talking bengals". You're welcome.
