The World’s Greatest Athlete

wow that is crazy fast! I haven’t watched that show, but I love Biggest Loser

I did the half this morning so I’ve definitely been eating anything and everything. I PRed too, but nothing crazy fast like everyone else! 2:22:33 :) Next time I’ll get 2:1x and maybe someday I’ll come in under 2 but I’m not holding my breath. I kind of hated it, though. It’s such an ugly course, I’d hate to have run the marathon course which is just twice as ugly. For all that San Diego has to offer you’d think they could find something better than freeways and major streets with horribly slanted roads.

And omg I LOVE any makeover show. SO excited. I especially love when it’s all shoved in to one episode, it’s like Biggest Loser on crack.

Omg I love the decathlon! Such a random but true story I swear… My sister dated the USA Olympic trials winner is 2000 for the Sydney games and he was actually predicted as the favorite but didn’t win due to various injuries. He was also a 2 x NCAA champion at Tennessee and my sister ran at UT and that’s how they met. They dated for a couple of years and broke up shortly after the Olympics. He was literally the best at everything basketball soccer track of course so cool to know such an amazing athlete. I adored him and he always played games with me and was so impressive At all things. He is now married I believe as is my sister but I always had such great respect for him.

Congrats Pam! I am so excited about Extreme Makeover Weight Loss edition airing again. I love that show.

Yum, mac n’ cheese! Do you prefer stovetop or baked? My friends and I were having a lengthy debate about this the other day haha.

I counted down the hours until desperate housewives, but now it’s over :(. So sad!!! I watch the reruns on repeat on the treadmill, haha!

RnR Races… I’ve run the Country Music 1/2 in Nashville, RnR Vegas 1/2, and in October I’m doing the RnR St. Louis 1/2! I can’t wait for that one.

I’ve been fairly nutritious today. Whole wheat cereal with blueberries for breakfast, an apple with PB for lunch, and a big ol’ veggie stir-fry for dinner. It would have been healthier if I’d had brown rice, but I love me some jasmine rice with a stir fry. :)

I’m not technically in training mode right now, but I will be training for a PR in St. Louis. It’s so hot. :( I hate the heat. I totally bombed last summer and hardly ran at all, so it was basically like starting all over in the fall. I’m determined to just suffer through this summer, even if it’s a lot slower and fewer miles. Just so I can at least come out the other side and still call myself a runner!

Hey Janae! I’m on summer break as well and just wanted to see if you have any good reads to suggest? I read Mile Markers after I read about it on your blog and loved it! :)

I’ve run RnR Nashville and Providence. I’m running Philly this fall and maybe Providence again. Today I’ve had a wheat English muffin with PBS (per 5k fuel), banana, egg white omelette, Larabars and a turkey burger. It’s salad for dinner since I need to get in some veggies!

I had no idea extreme makeover was on tonight! I’m hoping I’m not too late to still catch it….

Yay, congrats to Pam! I’ve only done the Rock and Roll half in Nashville. And I don’t plan to do it ever again haha. Toooo hot and too many hills! ;)

I’m thinking of doing RnR Providence in August! The only thing I’m questioning is the heat since it could end up being superrrr hot. I want to beat my previous half time of 1:39! My eats today were so random- from green smoothies to toast to cookies to flourless chocolate mini cupcakes (delicious) and roasted veggies dipped in hummus. Anddd topping it off with some strawberry ice cream while watching extreme makeover now!

I love that show and have it DVR’d!! :) Can’t wait to watch it :)

Love that outfit you are wearing in the first photo! Super cute.

My eating has been totally random today, I had a bagel, Indian food, and cereal. No rhyme or reason to it, must be because its Sunday.

I run the San Jose Rock’n’Roll half marathon every year. I haven’t done the others in the series, but I would like to do Las Vegas one day.
I’ve had a semi-nutritious day. We had a bake sale… but I still ate plenty of veggies during lunch time.

I’ve done the Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle every single year (there have only been 3) and am signed up to do it again this summer.

I ran the Newport Oregon Marathon yesterday, and got a new PR myself, though not as awesome as hers!

I love the extreme weightloss show! Awesome!

AHHH! I love that show!! I was sad when I looked it up a few weeks ago and no new ones were up. This made my day that it’s coming back!! =D I’ll be watching it on Hulu, too….darn the extra restless waiting day.

i fess up to not really following up on many other events outside of the distances, BUT since i used to live in OR u’d have to live in a bubble not to hear about how Ashton Eaton’s been tearing it up, the guy is amazing and so young too! i think it’s incredible to have such stellar abilities at such a range of events…since yea, with my coordination i can barely handle the left turns. ;)

I want to do the Vegas rock in roll half marathon for my bachelorette party in December. No better way to start out a weekend of fun than with a run, right?! Lets see I am trying on wedding dresses today so I am trying to be a little healthier..However, I did sneak in a brownie or two :)
I am currently training for a 100 mile relay that runs through the night. Not really a PR more just a finish the thing!
I loooove the extreme makeover as well. I save all of my shows to watch when I am using the trainer.

I haven’t done any rock and roll races, but I definitely want to.

I’m going to start fall marathon training at the end of the month, so hopefully that’ll be training for a PR.

So far today all I’ve eaten is a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee.

I have to admit…I didn’t know what the decathlon was until I watched Keeping up with the Kardashians. And now, all I know about is that Bruce Jenner participated in it.
