You silly girl 
you deserve a well earned rest. Rest is just as important and the workout. (I think I read that somewhere ... after taking a real active recovery week instead of cheating with circuits and heavy cardio, I can't believe how good I felt coming back to do meso 2.)
Disk 15 done. end of 1st week of meso 2.
Tomorrow REST day.

Good Morning.
Well, today's rest day went down the proverbial tubes! I was woken up at 4 by my alarm which wasn't set to off until 5. Go figure. So instead of hangin around OD'ing on coffee I decided to make use of the extra time and get in a short/easy work out...SJP Step only + circuit 4/core from BFBM. 30 minutes of pretty ez stuff so I don't feel too badly about it.
My NEW plan is to is to rest tmrw (tues) and thurs so I still get 2 rest days this week.
Colleen:: Good job on disc 15! Can't wait to get started on Meso 2 this coming weekend. The plastic wrapper is still on it!
ETA:: Found great new use for tower during disc 11!!! Lowered the cross bar and used it for tricep dips instead of dragging high step out! I have a small space so do a lot of shuffling of the bigger equipment so it was nice to not have to do that!

GOOD JOB TERINA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I am home from work today. Got very little sleep last night and just don't feel like dealing with it today. I will be productive re housework and my work out since I am home but can also lay down for a nap whenever I feel the need.
I dropped the kiddo off at school in my PJ'S (loved that!lol) and then came home, started a load of laundry and vaccuumed the first floor of the house already. So much more I can do though! I swear, it never ends!
BBL~

Great to see you Terina .... I was supposed to do Hiit Wave Pyr. but I'm out of time. Yesterday was STS disk 14. Even thought I try to keep up we do have a 14 year old son and we both work from home so it's hard to get it perfect. And my son was home sick from school yesterday.
We have another showing of our house today so I'm cleaning like a bat out of ****!
My show opens this Friday and we're in Tech rehearsal. Long nights & exhaustion are just par for the course. We need to sell the house but I didn't need a showing this week.
I need a nap!!!! Off to run my lines make the beds and clean the up stairs now.
I may not be around for a few days but i'll be thinking of you amazing women.

Hey ladies. Surprised that it's Wednesday and I'm first checking in here? LOL Yeah, funny.
I'm glad to see EVERYbody back at it. AWESOME, ladies.
I only have a minute to get caught up real quickly.
Wendy, how's the REST WEEK going?
Teri, good job re-starting that rotation. Glad to be back???
Colleen, gotta tell you, you make me tired! LOL Hope DS is better!
Me, my week looked like this: Saturday 11-12 miles; Sunday 6+ miles; Monday LBB; Tuesday Tough Mudder circuit workout minus the run segment and a LOT of stretching during the day; Today was Yee's Power Yoga Total Body early this morning and LOTS MORE stretching.
All this stretching.....I started to feel my IT band act up Sunday morning and freaked out! I immediately started EXTRA stretching, ordered a foam roller (finally, been wanting one for years), and hitting my legs with the rolling pin (as opposed to The Stick, lol). I feel good today, and I just want and NEED to avoid a total ITBS flare up, cuz that wouldn't be pretty. Today's SUPPOSED to be a 7 mile run w 5 miles at tempo, but I think I'm putting that off. I MAY hit the Y later for laps or the ellip; kids have half days this week so my schedule is a bit messed up there. Assuming the IT feels good, I'll get a run in tomorrow morning nice and slowly. Keep your fingers crossed this plan works, cuz I've got my 18 miler this weekend!
OK.....have an AWESOME WEDNESDAY! Thanks for being patient with my sporadic checking in!

Hey Gayle!
Is your 18 miler a training run or a race? I'll never forget my 18 mile race in LBI with Shelly. I wear that memory proudly. My recovery week is going well...I have DOMS in shoulders! LOL I am not resting as much as I had initially planned but my work outs are pretty low key. I start M2 this weekend though! Can't wait! Hope you can successfully avoid an ITB band flare up!

Today is Booty Barre DO and REVIEW day! Unfortunately the upper body segment will have to wait as my shoulders are still yellin' at me over the other day's work out. I will be putting a little cardio kick in it's place though!
Terina:: Hope you are sleeping well currently. I slept good last night but still felt sooo sleepy when my alarm went off this morning. My DH is sick. I hope I'm not catching it!

Terina, I definitely have a 'better' side for things like kickboxing. And I'm learning I can balance better to my right side than I can to my left. lol Glad you've been sleeping well.
Wendy, my 18 miler is a training long run. I think I vaguely remember hearing about that race of yours.
OK....so about 20 mins of stretching last night before bed, and I woke up feeling great. I hit Eddy (my treadmill) and logged 4 EASY, slow miles to test things out. No twinges....then I added about 12-15 more mins of stretching. Just call me Gumby! Stadium stairs circuit tonight and I'm sure that will be another good test to see how the IT is doing. Keep your fingers crossed.

Gayle, That's great! I didn't hurl but only cause I'm being nice! LOL My fastest ever 5k was in the 28 min zone. Can't recall the exact time. That averages out to about a 9.13 min/mile and trust me when I tell you ,I wanted to VOMIT by the time I was done! How fast did you run your 18 mile training run in? I ran my 18 mile race in about 3.5 hours and that includes several port-a-potty stops cause I had terrible "issues" that day. For me, that was excellent! I was very happy but it was still pretty slow. A 10 minute mile was like my achillies heel if you will. Some days it was a comfortable pace for me and some days it killed me to run at that speed for more then just a few minutes. Anything UNDER 10 minutes and I was definitely PUSHING! I miss running...every little accomplishment no matter how small made me feel so awesome! Some day I'll be able to get back it...*sigh*
ETA:: Just found the official results for the 18 miler. Finished in 3:29:04 which was an 11:36 min/mile. Also found that fastest 5k...came in at 28:15. Actually shows I ran 3 5k's that year in the 28 min zone! AWESOME! I didn't realize that!

it's all relative
Wendy, my 18 miler is this weekend, and I expect to run it in less than 3 hours. I've been averaging between 9:05 and 9:35 miles for all my double-digit long runs. But we'll see. My plan for these 18 miles is to start out slowly and test the IT band. Assuming all goes well, I want to SLOWLY increase my speed over the first 12-15 miles and settle in....but my MAIN priority this weekend is to stay strong and injury-free.
When I started running, my runs/races averaged out to a 10:00 mile; I've just gotten stronger and stronger each year, bringing me to my current paces. I've been able to do races (official events) and average around 8:15s, so I must be doing SOMETHING right, right???
I have to admit, that in the 6+ years I've been running, there were times that I wanted to do everything BESIDES run. I just didn't WANT to. But this time, this last year or so, it's ALL I'VE WANTED TO DO...and I think my running group is a HUGE part of that.

Gayle,
I only ran for a couple of years and had my "I wanna do anything but run" times so I can imagine w/6 years of running behind you that you've certainly had your fair share of those times! It happens...and not just with running. I went through about 2 YEARS of that with stepping! Your times are fantastic! You've worked hard. You deserve it!

FRIDAY!!!!!!
Wendy and Gayle, you're too funny!!
Gayle, how did you come up with the name eddy for you're treamill? I think thats cute!
yesterday was a rest day for me, and today just got done with 40/20 and core max seg #1. I modified with the cardio,there were drills that I only did either 30 or 20 seconds instead of the full 40 seconds.which I found doing that better than just standing there and watching it....lol
HAVE A GREAT ALOHA FRIDAY!!!!!!!
