This early morning I did my 3 mile. WOW was it ever cold. Negative 17! There wasn't a wind so it wasn't that bad. After the first ten minutes I started to warm up and the mittens came off. I some how have lost my one Running Room mitten. Again. I'm pretty sure I'm onto my third round of mittens. Those are the best mittens.
I did see bunny foot prints in the snow. It was really neat. That's the joys of running outside.
Running is clearing my head when it comes to stressful situations at work. Whenever a stressful situation rolls in it really doesn't compare to the harsh run I did that morning. I just think it could be worst. Running is hard work.
Now my handsome boyfriend, my wonderful doggie and I are making dinner together. I'm breaking the diet and drinking some wine. Tomorrow were going to see about sending our dog to doggie daycare. This should be interesting. We just want her to get more social with other dogs. Keep you posted.
What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.

Resting
Yesterdays run took a toll on my body. Today was a snow day and non working day. So I studied all day....maybe a little nap with Dora too. I am not on the motivational train for working out. I'm still wearing the same p.j's that I woke up in. I'm rocking the sweet bed head too.
I did try really hard to not get into the cupboard to much though. Tomorrow I will get back into the groove. Hopefully the weather isn't as bad as it was today.
It was super cute to see our dog run though the snow though. Back to studying.
We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do.

Evening Running
I just got done running my 3 mile run. I woke up at 5:ooam this morning thinking about how I don’t know exactly how long this will take me. So I just thought that I would change it up and run tonight instead. I did get up and take Dora for an early walk and then I jumped on the bike for 30 minutes and read. I know that I am for sure a morning runner. I find night time more draining. I also notice more aches and pains in the evening. I think it’s because I give 110% through the day and the evenings are my down time.
Tonight’s run was a little mixture of all the streets. I didn’t know where I was going and what my route was. I had my Garmin 101 on to help with distance. Its older then dirt but it does the job. I don’t need a big fancy device.
One great thing that I am happy about with this Blog is that it does motivate me. I was thinking on my run tonight what I should write about. I was thinking of more ideas in my head to not concentrate on how cold it was outside. It was negative ten tonight. The wind felt like it was negative sixteen. My face feels like it was negative 40!
Tomorrow morning I’m going to do the same run that I did tonight. My time tonight was 37.51.16. That is super slow for a 3 mile. I know it’s only winter running and it’s like running on sand. Tomorrow I will do better.
Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them—a desire, a dream, a vision.

Early AM
I got up and I was totally ready. I went for the run and I'm finding James Morrison music really motivating. It makes you think about all the good in your life. Instead of my boy break up-hate songs from Rihanna.
My Kellogg diet totally makes me hungry. I have been drinking more water too. Let's hope this helps with keeping me balanced with my calories. I am so hungry though.
It's so icy outside. I got out of my car and I fell down on both of my knees. I am hoping that I don't feel them tomorrow.
I stretched during my down time at work but I still feel a little out of sorts. Tonight I will have a nice dinner to kick start my energy for tomorrow.

My Personal Fitness Pal.
This is my progress... It's not progressing right now. I am learning how I am over eating and need to simmer down on the treats and the intake of food. It's super helpful and helps me be aware. I am noticing that cheese is raking up my calories. After living without cheese for a year in China I just can't get enough of it. Cheese is so tasty.
I'm going to try to do the cereal diet. That way I stay on track of my eating habits. The only part is that I'm going to be thinking about it even more so I might look at the cupboards more. I'm going to put up sticky notes on my fridge and cupboard. The fridge is going to have the word "my skinny pants" on it. The cupboard is going to have the word "marathon". Let's pray for me.
This is hard work. I am hungry just thinking about this.
It's raining outside. I changed up my workout plan this morning. I biked for 30 minutes and I did weights with some abs. I cleaned like a machine. Hopefully the weather cooperates for tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to my morning run. I don't think running in the rain is a good idea this early on in the game because my body is getting use to all this transitional running schedule. I will get a cold and then it will be even harder on me. So changing it up is ah ok with me.
Last week I completed the training plan. Here is my agenda for the week.
Monday-Bike @ 30
Tuesday-2 miles
Wednesday-3 miles
Thursday-3 miles
Friday-Rest
Saturday-Bike @ 30
Sunday-Bike @ 30
Let's hope the weather holds out for me.
Some motivation: Watch Leap Year and listen to James Morrison. Very lovey dovey stuff and it keeps you happy. This also keeps your thoughts positive and thinking of great ideas for Valentine's Day and everyday love life stuff.
Stop thinking about food and think about your skinny jeans.
