breakfast

1 bowl of oatmeal with strawberry jam

1 serving of kefir blueberry smoothie

1/2 banana

some apple

I cleaned up after she left and then went back to sleep hoping to get some good sleep but that didn't happen i woke up at 9:30am and decided to get a head start on everything i planned. I snacked as well

sampled my cliff bar

I began washing my face not after i did some photos of the stuff i got first. Then i began getting ready. It was now after 12. I went to go wash my face luckily not the whole thing so it would take shorter than normal. When i was done with that i went to go shave that took a while and finished after 2pm. I hand washed some things i used for the trainings that ill no longer need. I also organized in my room what goes where. By the time i was done with all of that it was 3:30pm so i got ready to go to the store for my accessories last min for my race thats the day after tmw. I needed to be back by 5pm. I hurried over to the discount store while on my way... it was really windy and i had a feeling that i wasn't going to be able to train tonight. I really wanted to cuz it was going to be the last day of training for the year !!!

I went to this small shop to get 1 item i needed which was glue for my training shoes i used in 2009. Luckily they had it so i bought it and went to the discount store next door from it. I first looked around as to what i might want to use. there were some other things i wanted to buy but i was focused on getting the race stuff. I picked out the first 2 items what i planned on buying and looked for a 3rd i was going to buy another set of the ones i bought for the previous race i did recently cuz i lost some on the course lol. By then last min i found some bells so i took those the ones i planned on buying were sold out the week when i went to go buy the ones for the other race. I looked around some more at what i want to buy the next time i come back to this store. I checked the time it was almost 5pm ! so after paying i rushed out and hurried back i took a short cut instead of the long way.

When i came back she was already here so we greeted and talked about how it went at work. Instead of getting ready to leave she wanted as usual to eat so i had to stay and eat. i knew i wanted to be back by 8:30pm to train one last time. I unpacked and put everything into the pile of stuff i will use race morning. She warmed up the food so i ate.

Lunch

1/2 apple

1 pork chop

rice

1 calcium pill

1 salad

1/2 of her doughnut glazed

Next she took a short break and looked though the ads time was running out and i kept having to remind her that i want to be back to train and have other things to do. She got ready to go. I grabbed what i needed and almost 7pm we walked to the bus stop but the longer distance one. It was coming so we took it and rode to Sports Authority. Luckily we only had to take 1 bus. Unknown to us what was about to happen.....

I needed to pee and there wasn't a place around with a bathroom in sight so when we got there i decided to ask. She pointed to one in the middle of the aisle. Then came the shocking truth when we asked about the packet pickup she told us that.... the location was changed ! we were all like what ???

I went to go use the bathroom and came back out she gave us the location and from what we could tell it was harder to get there than we thought.  We decided to try to find it. We frantically went from bus to bus trying to find it but without any success grrr ! she told me that shes going to go tmw.

Nice ! now im without a race bib and chip

It was getting late and we knew it we wouldn't make it anyways so we headed back home. We took a different route.

When we got home it was 9pm so i quickly changed out and decided to train one last time for the year. I wanted to be back by 11pm actually before. I grabbed what i needed, i drank 1/2 of the bottle of water and went to go stretch i stretched as good as i can. by the time i was done it was almost 10pm so i headed out the door.

Once on the corner i set my water bottle down and walked around for a short warmup before running. It took a while cuz i waited for a song to play. When it finally did i ran ... I was doing another miler since its time to taper cuz theres 2 days till race.

as i ran it felt great but not as great as previous days only cuz of the wind. I did the best i could so far so good no stops. just when i was nearing the end this huge surge of energy went through me and i just powered twards the finish heck if only i can pull that off saturday. Finally ... yay! i did it flawless finish !

1 mile

I yelled out yes and celebrated the whole way down to the end of the corner haha. I drank the rest of my water and walked around for a cool down. I had to come back cuz it was after 10 and going on 11pm so i came back home.

She warmed up the food so i ate hoping to be done in time to clean but that didn't happen i ate through my mixes.

dinner

1 chicken thigh

brocolii

white beans

pasta

I waited for my mix to play and when it played i was careful enough not to miss any intros so far so good no misses or mistakes. It finished and i knew it that it was flawless so i began to take everything down that deals with running. awww ! i put it in piles. I have a huge stack of darks that i need to wash tmw and 4 pairs of shoes.

I put my outfit together and went online to check my email. I decided to check the website to see if they have it posted and sure enough i was right i was soooooo pissed cuz they should have sent us an email note about the change of adress for the pickup. not only that but i found out that there are no more packet pickups and yet there were 3 so now its a game of risk... I have to pick up my packet race day !!!!!

I posted this update and went to sleep slightly out of schedule. Hoping to get up early to get things done... tmw is the day!

Breakfast

1 bowl of oatmeal with soymilk

1 serving of the rest of the cherry kefir, also had 1 serving of blueberry kefir as well

1/2 golden apple

1 banana

had #2 before going to sleep after she left hoping to get up early to get things done. i went to sleep around 6:30am only cuz i did some photos of my race results from my heart rate watch.

Soon enough it was time to get up but yet again i overslept and heard her come in i kept sleeping so by the time i did wake up it was 6:30pm wow ! i got up and went to go eat late late lunch. I greeted and talked about how it went at work.

Lunch

1 bowl of vegetable soup

some pieces of apple

Then she went to the stores so i hung around and soon enough got ready to log one of the last 3 days of training. I knew that it was planned that it was going to heavily rain on wednesday so i made a decision to do a 1 1/2 miler tonight in case that does happen cuz i already missed 2 days of training and i was supposed to do 8. I got ready to go today was much warmer so i didn't have to layer too much but did anyways. I grabbed what i needed and cleared my sinuses before stretching. I wanted to leave about 8:30pm but that didn't happen i wanted to be back by 9pm to watch my show i knew i will end up missing the first half. She still hadn't come so i got ready. I stretched as good as i can so that i don't encounter any problems i couldn't have any tension or soreness going. I felt that this was a good stretch. I put on my accessories and soon headed out the door almost 9pm about 8:40pm.

Once on the corner i drank 1/2 of my water like i always do and noticed that it was drizzling haha at least not raining. I started my mp3 player and listened to the song countdown on the radio instead of using my playlist i haven't done that this year at all. when ready i ran..... I ran the first lap. wow ! i was amazed at the speed i had coming into this first turn and wondered where did all that speed come from not that im slow or anything but it was more speed than normal i could barely catch up. Finally i learned how to run midfoot and not to do a heel strike. It felt incredible !!! I didn't conserve i just gave it all ive got. I wanted to make the best of it. I then did the next 2 laps without any problem. When i finished... wow ! i yelled out yes ! and grabbed my bottle and walked around for a cool down i drank from the bottle after i cought my breath.

1 1/2 miles

i walked half way cuz there was not enough time to do the whole way. I was missing like 10 min of my show so i hurried back home just in time. She still wasn't back so i began watching and it turns out it just started cuz i saw the begining credits. I think i did miss some. The show was halfway done when she came. i finished watching Body of Proof and wanted to go back outside to walk it off but i ended up staying in only because it began raining luckily not heavily. I looked in her bag at what she bought and found out she bought a bag of munchkins so i ate

3 munchkins - brownie, squishy plain, crumbly plain

i waited for dinner when it was done i ate

Dinner

1 chicken thigh

brocolii

white beans

I hoped to be done by 11pm but that didn't happen and ran out of time to clean. grr ! I hung around till 12am and went online to check my email, update my calendar and post this update. I got ready for tmw cuz tmws not only subway day ( aww last 2 subway days ) but also packet pickup ( also last one for the year )

while i updated i grabbed some more to eat and ate
