I pulled a muscle in my pec... :( (aka, I broke my boobie!)
I did 3 miles on the elliptical in 36:00. Melissa and I worked out with her trainer. I have to say, I hate jumpropes and I don't ever wanna do it again.

Well, it's been 2 weeks since I've done any sort of exercise. I know--LAME!! My excuses? Wicked sinus infection and the holidays. I know, not good reasons. I guess it's gonna have to be ok, because Spring Marathon training starts tomorrow (No pressure or anything)!
Today I went with Melissa to the gym. I did 2 miles (23:00) on the elliptical, 4 (20:00) on the bike and worked out with her and her trainer for an hour (full body).

Today was the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis in Bettendorf, IA. I was running it with Becca. We were a little bummed that the walkers were in an athletic club and I was running outside. I still did pretty well--33 something. I couldn't hear them calling out the times and I can't find the results anywhere. I had forgotten how hilly the Quad-Cities were...I really wish hills weren't so hard on my lungs.
I'm glad I got the run in, but I feel as if I'm loosing running steam. I haven't run near as much as I used to. I keep telling myself that it's ok because I'm between training cycles and that I really do need to rest a little. Maybe I shouldn't worry about it, I mean marathon training does start again in two weeks.
Maybe signing up for a couple of marathons and triathlons in 2009 will help motivate me and keep me from being a slacker...

Today sucked. I almost didn't go to the gym, but I promised to motivate Christine to go, and so I went as well.
I did 33 minutes on the new ellitpicals. They're not very accurate, distance wise. I used the 10k program and said I did it in 33 minutes. HA! Soooo not likely. I imagine I did about 3 miles in that time, and if that's the case it's off my 50%. I like the machine, but if I use it I have to go by time estimation. I also biked for 30 mintues. I rode 6.2 miles.

This morning I worked with Hector doing arms and core. My lungs are tight in the cold, dry air. My legs are also tight...grr. At night, I did 30 minutes of pilaties, doing Windsor Pilaties for 20 and Body Flex for 10.

Ah the OUC Half Marathon!
I traveled to Orlando to run the half with Amy--she's the one in the middle and it was her first 1/2 Marathon!
I'm very proud to say that she finished in just over 2 hours, and her friend Robin finished in about 2:15!
I did an unimpressive 2:39, but at least I finished. I ran the first 1/2 and walk ran the second. I still am not feeling 100%. I figured that if you have to be not feeling well, it's better to be in a place where it's 75 and sunny!

Early morning work out with Hector! He started on my legs. About 1/2 way through I reminded him about my race so he started in on my arms. Nice to get both in! I still feel crappy and my chest is tight.
