ween mile 18 20 and you have a lot of irrational thoughts so i ran hard for a few more miles but soon i ran out of energy and got my first ever quad cramp once you start cramping there isn t a whole lot you can do i had to do a walk run routine and by mile 23 i saw the 4 hour pacer catch up to me i wanted so bad to come in under 4 that i pushed hard to keep up with her at mile 24 though my legs decided they had enough and i couldn t run more than a minute at a time the view at mile 25 i tried to run the last quarter mile and right as i crossed the finish line my legs gave out and i stumbled into the barriers i was happy that i finished the race giving it my all but bummed i didn t finish under 4 i officially finished in 4 07 which was way better than the 4 40 i ran my first marathon in i was happy with the vast improvement and i was able to lose the 20 pounds i originally desired 14 00 08 51 156 bpm 15 00 08 50 155 bpm 16 00 08 54 155 bpm 17 00 09 05 154 bpm 18 00 09 02 156 bpm 19 00

more about running with each race maybe someday i ll run the race in a way to optimize my before in the meantime at least i still have the sub 4 goal to work at what race mistakes have you made i am so proud of my brother for completing his second marathon thanks for sharing with us big bro 3 comments our big adventure posted on 11 29 2012 by brittany berries and barbells i started my day off right yesterday with a slow and easy 4 mile run outside i went just as the sun was coming up and it was magnificent i sure do love getting my workouts done first thing in the morning i was feeling adventurous so before heading out to pick dax up from preschool i packed lunches for the boys i used to be so much better about taking my kids to explore exciting places lately if we go anywhere it involves the grocery store walmart or the gym i was planning on taking them to the park for a picnic lunch but as soon as i stepped outside i realized it was too cold we did the next best thing and headed to the library there is a big long hallway with a sitting area before the entrance to our library so this is where the boys ate their lunches once they finished eating we headed in and dax made a b line for the computers the logan library has a bunch of computers in the kids area with educational games on them dax played a sesame street game that is supposed to help him learn how to sound out words while dax played on the computer everett and i checked out some of the holiday books we were lucky enough to find the night before christmas and how the grinch stole christmas once we finished perusing the entire children s book section we headed over to the reading area after spending at least an hour in the library we headed home for naps i was hoping they would be super tired from our big afternoon adventure and take extra long naps that didn t happen i had just enough time to make lunch and eat it before they decided it was time to come out and play again i made some sautéed some chicken bell pepper and onion in low fat sesame ginger dressing i also baked a few corn tortillas that were used to scoop up that big heap of guacamole it was definitely a random lunch but it tasted delicious i had to go to a quick meeting for work last night but we promised the kids we could decorate the christmas tree kelly got home a few minutes early so we could spend a half hour decorating before i had to leave the boys had an awesome time and the bottom 1 8 of our tree is filled with ornaments we did a bit a rearranging after they went to bed we did get to finish decorating so i will post a photo of the whole tree once i add the finishing touches what is the best thing you did yesterday do you ever use your local library i use ours occasionally but feel like i should utilize it more who doesn t like free books and movies tagged activities dinner kids lunch running 4 comments a day in the life posted on 11 28 2012 by brittany berries and barbells as you know i ve been following jamie eason s livefit trainer from bodybuilding com the program is completely free and i ve loved it so far i m only on day three but i can tell my body is appreciating all the healthy foods i ve been feeding it after indulging over the long weekend i m really happy to be back to more nutritious foods the average woman gains 3 5 pounds between thanksgiving and new years i m bound and determined not to be that women hop on the bandwagon with me and you don t have to be her either before i get to my usual what i ate wednesday i want to share my breakfast recipe with you i found it on bodybuilding com and it was super scrumptious everyone in my family gave these pancakes great reviews pumpkin spice pancakes from www bodybuilding com calories 64 fat 1 3 grams carbs 9 5 grams protein 3 5 grams sugar 0 grams ingredients 1 1 2 cups oat flour 2 tbsp splenda truvia or ideal i used stevia 1 tbsp baking powder 1 2 tsp salt 2 tbsp cinnamon 1 4 tsp allspice 1 4 tsp nutmeg 4 egg whites 1 2 cup raw pumpkin 1 1 2 cups unsweetened almond breeze directions preheat griddle to medium heat mix oat flour splenda baking powder salt cinnamon allspice and nutmeg in a bowl wisk egg whites and pumpkin mix in almond breeze i also added 1 tsp vanilla here add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix together spray griddle with non stick butter spray scoop batter with a 1 4 cup measuring cup onto griddle cook 3 5 minutes on a side makes 16 pancakes for today s what i ate wednesday i am going to give you a glimpse into my day to day life this is from yesterday here it goes we woke up and dax helped me make some pancakes and eggs for our breakfast 8 am breakfast 2 pumpkin pancakes with almond butter and 5 egg whites cooked with salsa after breakfast we kissed daddy goodbye and i realized i only had 10 minutes to get myself and my two kids dressed and out the door to head to the gym i only reserved a spot for my kids from 9 10 and i didn t want to be late and cut into my workout time i managed to get everyone ready but didn t realize everett was missing shoes until i had already left the house luckily my diaper bag is a bottomless pit and i just so happened to have an extra pair of shoes in there i only got 10 minutes into my workout when a worker found me and let me know everett needed a diaper change i was in my own little world so she had to tap me on the shoulder and wave her arms in my face to get my attention i was just starting to get into my groove so it was a bummer to have to stop being a mom is a 24 7 job and kids don t always pick the best times to need something such is life after finished up at the gym we headed home for a snack 10 30 am snack chocolate protein shake made with 1 cup almond milk 1 scoop whey protein 1tbsp cocoa powder 1 2 banana and ice after snack the boys played while i got ready blogged and responded to emails after reading a few books and doing 5 million puzzles with my kids it was 12 00 and time to feed them lunch i made them pb j on whole wheat bread with a side of applesauce everett decided he didn t want his sandwich and was begging me for cheese he is just beginning to talk so when he pointed to the fridge and said chsssss i couldn t resist what can i say the boy really loves his cheese i started prepping my lunch while the kids were eating they both went down for naps at 1 this is mommy time and i enjoyed my lunch while listening to christmas music 1 15 pm lunch taco salad with spring mix lettuce chicken salsa guacamole homemade baked tortilla strips and a squeeze of lime after lunch i relaxed for a few minutes before heading into the kitchen to clean i was in such a rush to get to the gym in the morning that i hadn t even cleaned up breakfast needless to say it was a really big mess the boys both woke up around 2 30 and had snacks we ready more books did more puzzles watched mickey mouse and played with endless amounts of cars trucks and trains i also made some pumpkin protein bars while mickey mouse was on 4 45 pm snack an apple and two pumpkin protein bars not pictured daddy surprised us by getting home early so we could go pick out our christmas tree we found a great tree and got it all set up on our car when we realized we didn t have a tree stand the tree lot didn t sell them so we headed to walmart what do you know walmart doesn t have tree stands either but since we were there anyway we picked up some goldfish crackers teddy grahams and beef jerky all my boys were getting hungry kelly included so they ate some really nutritious snacks we drove to the other side of town to go to home depot where we finally found a tree stand success by the time we got home and set up the tree it was time for the boys to go to bed they were a bit sad we didn t get to decorate it so we let them put the star on the top after pj s brushing teeth reading stories singing songs and prayers this kids were in bed and it was time for me to eat i had planned on making chicken and sweet potatoes but since everyone else already ate i nixed the idea i didn t feel like cooking for just 1 person 8 pm dinner i don t like to eat too much deli meat because of the preservatives and high sodium but i made an exception tonight i had 6 oz deli turkey 2 celery stalks and a slice of ezekiel toast with peanut butter and sugar free jelly i ate dinner while watching an episode of sister wives why is that show so addicting it is just so fascinating to see how a polygamist family lives what is the best thing you ve had for breakfast lately are you usually alert during your workouts or do you tend to zone out i almost always zone out but i try to be more aware during my outdoor runs safety first have you put up holiday decorations yet tagged breakfast dinner kids lunch snacks what i ate wednesday 6 comments days 1 and 2 of livefit posted on 11 27 2012 by brittany berries and barbells i have now completed the first 2 workouts of jamie eason s livefit and i am sore i m really loving the workouts since they are so different from my usual circuits and intervals source the first workout was for chest and triceps and the second was back and biceps during this workout i wasn t breathing particularly hard or sweating profusely like i do during my circuits however my arms were shaking like crazy and my muscles were fatigued to the max you are supposed to lift to failure during all your sets this means picking a weight heavy enough that by the time you get to 12 reps you physically cannot perform another rep i know something is working with these workouts since i can barely lift my arms above my head with out screaming in pain i m hoping the soreness will fade with time but i like feeling the effects of my workouts i think this type of workout is just what my body needs right now my body was becoming too accustomed to higher reps and lower weight and i m hoping to see some great results from changing up my routine i have also been loosely following the meal plan that goes with livefit the meal plan has me eating every 2 3 hours or 5 6 times a day every meal should include 50 carbohydrate and 50 protein with unlimited vegetables if i am hungry for a 6th meal at night i am not supposed to eat carbs during that meal i am also including 2 3 servings of healthy fats a day i have actually really been enjoying eating this way i am not used to eating so much protein but i have tons of energy and i haven t been hungry at all i love that i don t have to count calories and i can just eat when i get hungry the food i ve been eating doesn t taste half bad either source my meals yesterday looked like this meal 1 5 egg whites cooked with 1 2 cup salsa and a slice of ezekiel bread with 1 2 tbsp almond butter meal 2 pina colada protein shake from my gym this was immediately after my workout and an apple meal 3 oat coated chicken fingers baked sweet potato wedges coated with 1 tsp olive oil and celery sticks meal 4 1 cup plain greek yogurt with cinnamon and a red bell pepper on the side meal 5 lemon curry tilapia 1 4 cup quinoa and a big salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar i went to bed early last night so i skipped meal 6 thus far i m feeling really great and i am excited to start seeing some results days 3 and 4 are supposed to be lower body workouts but tomorrow i m going to do some running and then do the lower body workouts on days 4 and 5 instead day 6 will be another running day if my legs are too sore tagged meal planning workouts 7 comments i m back with a new plan posted on 11 26 2012 by brittany berries and barbells i m back after a week long break from the blog this blog was beginning to take over my life and i was sloughing my other responsibilities so i could blog not good after some thinking and pondering i ve decided i still really love blogging and want to continue instead of publishing a post every morning and night i will do one morning post monday through friday this will be my set schedule but i may do a bonus post on occasion if you have any suggestions or requests for post topics i would love to hear them kelly had 3 days off from school and work for thanksgiving and i just completely unplugged and focused on my family it was a glorious break from our usual responsibilities we drove to wyoming to spend the holiday with kelly s family every other year they do a huge thanksgiving dinner with his dad s side of the family kelly s grandma pom pom is 89 years old and we gather as many of her descendents as possible and feast together once we are done eating we put away all the tables and chairs and the real fun begins we play lightning dodgeball and volleyball it is such a fun tradition and i look forward to it every other year before dinner began i participated in the 3rd biannual gobble gallop 5k put on by two of kelly s awesome cousins amy and trent are great runners and i was honored to participate in this fun tradition for the first time another awesome thing about amy and trent they had 5 children in 3 years with 2 sets of twins i honestly don t know how they survive but they are doing an awesome job and seem to be having a lot of fun while doing it speaking of running after ragnar i was a bit put off from running for a few weeks i think my body just needed to rest i ve learned that i am much more motivated to eat healthy and workout if i have a goal to work toward i ve been a bit lost since finishing my half marathon that race was a goal i had wanted to accomplish for a long time and after it was all over i didn t know where to go from there i had a few thoughts of training for a marathon but decided i m not quite ready for that i knew i didn t want to lose my newfound running abilities but i needed something new after much deliberation i ve decided to start jamie eason s livefit trainer i m really excited about this new goal and i can t...
