Marathon Giveaway and A Weird Workout

You know you have reached ultimate laziness when you eat your after school snack of cereal out of a glass for only one reason. That reason is that I used that glass for water earlier that day so it was already dirty and I didn’t want to add an extra dish to my full sink by using a bowl.  Win-win.

A little while later I was ready for another snack…come on, laying on my couch after school revs up that metabolism.

My latest gourmet creation, I like to call it, “Pretzelina wrapped in freshly opened mozzarella cheese.”  Pretzels wrapped with string cheese.  Try it, it is delicious.

I told you about that turbo kick class last Wednesday night right? Well, I may have been looking forward to it all week long.  Mainly because the instructor is awesome and I had never had so much fun in an aerobics class until turbo kick.

I arrived early, ready to kick and punch and shake and jump, only to find these weird things laying all around the room…

There was a sub and she said that we were going to do a Bosu workout instead of turbo kick.  My heart wept, I actually was pretty bummed (wow, what a hard life) but decided to stay and try it out.  I am glad I tried it and I did work up a little sweat and my core and hamstrings will be sore but I don’t know if it is my ‘thing.’   I can barely balance on level ground let alone an inflated thing of rubber.

Dinner was definitely my ‘thing’ and we had pizza.  Costco was having a sale on their take and bake pizzas a few weeks ago and so we froze one and we finally got around to making it.

Because it is necessary for my happiness to have something sweet after dinner I had a big glass of orange juice WITH pulp.  Doesn’t that sound appetizing…pizza and orange juice.

Don’t worry mom, I ate a bunch of vegetables earlier in the day, I will not be getting any nutrient deficient illnesses due to the lack of vegetables in my diet.  Plus the orange juice will protect me from scurvy.

Billy and I registered for TWO half marathons last night….I think we are slightly addicted.

I am a HUGE fan of the BOSU…I use it in a lot of my own workouts and always bust it out with my patients. It is such a great way to get core involved in ANY exercise that you do! Toughest BOSU exercise ever is burpees using the the flat side for your pushups and then lifting it up overhead. So brutal. I have my eye on the Big Foot tri in Lake Geneva this June…hoping to sign up soon!

I just signed up today for the California International Marathon… but it’s in December.
This Sunday officially kicks off the racing season for this year (for me). I’m running a 10K! That will be followed two weeks later by a half, then a 10-miler the two weeks following. <– There must be a better way to word this. Hope it made sense :)

Race I want to do – Napa Valley Marathon! Not this year though, I’m signed up for the Seattle Rock n Roll Marathon instead.

I actually love the bosu for core work. I took classes that used them for Pilates and strength and ended up buying one for my house. I’m not a big fan of using them for pliometrics though.

I ALWAYS reuse dishes whenever possible!! I’m running my first half marathon this May! I’ll definitely be checking back after reading this post. Happy training!

I would love to do the SLC 1/2 Marathon! That was my first one… like 7 or 8 years ago! (in it’s 2nd or 3rd year). I’m a better runner now, so it would be fun to do it again.

Um, I am all about the pretzel and string cheese combo. Except I haven’t tried that lovely wrapping technique. I usually just take a bite of pretzel, then a bite of string cheese, then chew!

What race do you have your eye on that you want to sign up for? What was the last race you signed up for? I’d love to sign up for the Disney World Wine and Dine half, but I will probably just be doing the Rock N Roll Seattle Half Marathon since I have a Virgin America credit I need to use and a flight from SFO to SEA falls in my price range.

Last cheese item that you ate? I just had Fat Free Cream Cheese in my Egg White and Pico De Gallo Scramble. Last night I had Gorgonzola Crumbles in my Salad.

Least favorite chore? Washing the Dog
