This morning was the Fall in to Fitness 5k. The bounus? It started at Portage Park. It was so nice to not have to drive to the race. I loved the race route running past my house! :)
It was a beautiful morining for a run! I finished in 37:13, with an 11:59 split. Not bad, but not good either. I need to learn to run faster, it seems my peek was in about July. I don't know what I did differently--I'm hoping it's only due to my recent weight gain, rather than me sucking.
I also sent in my form for a CARA participation award! I'm so proud that I qualify, who knew in my first year running?! I didn't have the 107k in CARA races (only CARA races count), but I did have a 1/2 Marathon (Chicago Distance Classic), a 10 miler (Downers Grove 5 & 10 Miler), 10k (Run for the Zoo), and 5k (Chicago Firefighter's Run for the Kids). I know I ran more than just CARA races, but it's still nice to know I did it!

I had a session with Hector this morning. It was mostly core, with a little back and legs.
This week I was so good about following the diet, and I didn’t loose—I gained. I completely snapped on Hector. I’m such an asshole. I feel awful, he didn’t deserve it. I was frustrated (too frustrated to even do cardio--I couldn't stop myself from crying) and took it out on him. I owe him a huge apology. I wouldn’t blame him if he gave up on me; after all, I think I’m starting to give up on myself.

I dragged my fat carcass off the couch and did cardio on the elliptical for an hour. It was 5 miles with .3 mile cool down and a total of 700 calories.
It was much easier to "watch" Gray's Anatomy while on the machine...I definitely wasn't bored on it for an hour. Too bad my regular gym doesn't have the personal TVs on each machine. That would totally keep me on 'em longer!
Feeling fat. I'm certian Hector's nazi food schedule isn't doing what it's supposed to be doing...besides being rigid and annoying. I much prefer eating when I'm hungry rather than on a schedule. We'll see what happens when I weigh-in on the Saturday.

Today I worked out with Hector. I feel gross and fat. Blah.
We did legs until my hamstring got super tight. Then I did 50 slow minutes on the Precor--3.75 miles and 450 calories.
BLAH BLAH BLAH

I went for a mile walk around the park. Does it still count that there was a craft fair going on? It was still a mile.

Worked out with Hector. Mostly core. I did loose some weight, but I don't feel good about it. I wish I felt better. All this medical stuff is really dragging me down.

Lifted with Hector...need to get back on the cardio band wagon, but I feel like crap.
