Protein anyone?

I had to share this first time experience with you all.
I have been lucky this year. Danielle gets on the school bus at 6:30am which puts me at work at 7am. This means I am usually off by 4pm and running the track by 4:15pm. So I haven't had to run in the dark much. Tonight I was not so lucky. I did not begin my run until 4:45pm, so it got dark enough for the track lights to come on during my run. One more thing I must explain. No matter how hard I try to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth I cannot do this while I run. I breathe in through the mouth and out through the mouth.
So I was running on the track tonight, just about to complete mile 3 and start mile 4 when it happened. A bug went in through my mouth with that breath. All the way in and to the tonsils at least. Way in! I am still running. I feel it in the back of my throat WIGGLING. As I see it I had two choices, stop and try to throw up or drink some water and try to make it go down. I chose the later. I took several more sips through the rest of my run to try and make sure it was flushed. The bug mile was still my second fastest mile tonight. Yet another reason to carry water on every run.
PSA- Beware of bugs if you breathe in through your mouth when you run!

What the HIVES?!?!?!?!??

By
2 weeks prior to the Divas Half Marathon I began to notice a strange redness during one of my workouts. Then I realized it was hives. The hives were only on my legs and mainly on my knees. I took some Benadryl that night. The next afternoon I had hives again. I went to the pharmacy and got some spray for the uncontrollable itching that you COULD NOT scratch or the result would be a fire like sensation. I also got an allergy medicine I could take during the day. The next day was a long bike. No hives, no hives, no hives, 10 pm HIVES. What the heck???? So I stopped using Voltarin. Still had hives after 3pm everyday. Some days worse than other days. Ugggghhhhhh So Friday I shave, no hives, and get ready for the beach trip (Divas Half Marathon Myrtle Beach). We get to the beach and I changed into pajamas and BAD HIVES. I notice they do not go above mid thigh. I don't shave above mid thigh.... Hummmmm I wonder. Well I didn't shave any all weekend. Got a PR for the Half Marathon. Bo...

Ever feel like.... WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!?!?!?!

By
Well that feeling kicks in this week as we start to write out the plan that we officially begin on Monday. We are writing this plan on top of our current Marathon Training Plan schedule. On top of that basketball begins for Danielle this week and will be 2-3 days a week. And life still happens. If you try to think more than one week ahead it gets overwhelming, so for now I will stick to thinking one week at a time and sometimes one day at a time! In actuality the beginning of the 140.6 Triathlon training plan is less than we have been doing recently, but with the Marathon Training Plan thrown into that mix it is not really giving us any decrease. Here's to our kick off!! 1/23/2017 the plan begins!!

The Inaugural Crystal Coast Tri - FULL BOOTY

By
Full Booty race report. The weather reports all week had stated we would have substantial winds and possible thunderstorms. We had all of that. I had lots of friends doing this race. That was great and we shared some great pre-race time together.  This is also the first race we have had family (other than my youngest daughter) at. That was different!  I think I should share a little pre-race. Jill with the race knew me by first name in March. I need a lot of information to ease my mind and make my plan. She was wonderful. We had been told there would be certain nutritional items on the course but what we were told was very limited.  Soooo plan B was initiated.... Team SPAZ members (my sister and youngest daughter) were recruited for run stop #7 between mile 9 & 10. They were stocked with baby wipes, Kleenex, chicken broth, pickles, jelly beans and pickle juice. Now I feel better and have something to run too. Race day The Swim: 33 or so of us enter the water ...
