What's Workin' and Not So Much:Pre-Race Related!
1. Are ya feelin' the threat of my sleek hair and wardrobe look? HA! This will most likely be my Race Day Get Up for my half on Saturday. This is me post run testin' it all out, and I think from the top down, my braids, no visor, shirt, FAVORITE Sugoi shorts, and shoes, are GtoG (Good to Go). As EMZ would say I'll 'Get er' done.'
3. And maybe most importantly: Love the FABULOUS mantra's you use on race day when you're doin' your thing. With a doubt, I'll have both them and your 'voices' with me on race day. thank you;-)
What's Not:
2. Did you notice the lil' white bag by my foot in my first cool race photo. Well, that'd be a bag of frozen peas I used to ice the PF, achilles area of BOTH feet. So while the peas are workin', the idea of these pestering PF/feet probs in my brain on race day is NOT
So that's what's working and not so much for me. Now... lemme know, what' workin' and not so much for YOU this week?! Would love to hear:)

Another idea for your PF is to use a tennis ball, can of beans, or a frozen water bottle. Just put them under your foot and roll back and forth. I hope it feels better soon!
Working - Loving getting back into weight training
Not Working - but dealing with it, cut the carbs because I am not training for a race and its the off season. This sucks
Good luck this weekend. HAVE FUN!
Good luck this weekend!!
Have a blast this weekend and if you run half as good as you look you will totally rock that race lady!
Cheers!
That "wad" --- I saw it and seriously thought it was one of Peanut's socks. ugggg. how a sock can get so dirty after 6 hours at school is beyond me.
Going to be looking good and that is what is most important!
I loveee mantras...i'm a quote freak, so those are working well too!
you are going to rock your race, you will be so excited you wont notice your PF/feet!!!
xoxo!
Good luck to you this weekend! I will be thinking about you! Damn, I miss wine country! Please take a few pictures:)
Whats working- Sports beans, just tried them for the first time and I like the immediate pick me up they give me
Not working- anything that uses my knee (bummer)
Like you, my PF is not working, but the rest of me is. My past two runs, PF notwithstanding, have felt great. The marathon is finally out of my legs.
Killer outfit.
*Finally mailing the card to my nephew! *whew!*
*Selling nearly 33% of our yearbooks BEFORE the end of the 1st quarter!!!!
*Students saying, "Man, that book work really wasn't bad. It helped me." :-)
*Volunteering with cancer patients-- does life get better?
Will-be-working:
*Enjoying 2-ish weeks off due to nasty trail accident. Yes, I'm listening to Professor Nurse Aunt who kicked my heini about what I should/shouldn't do for recovery! (Gotta respect the woman's advice or she might not give it again! :-)
*Reworking food intake and variety...
*No kids on Tuesday! November= only 1 full week of school!! (Oh, come on..we teachers need that break! :-) The kids do, too!! :-)
Good Luck to all on their mid-week journeys!
You're adorable in blue!
The high winds here and an apres marathon cold are not working for me.
The Halloween spirit makes up for it though.
Good luck with your race
Best of luck in your race!
best of everything with your half... one foot in front of the other... keep your eyes on the "prize"... all that good stuff! wishing you a pain-free, fleet-footed race!
what's working here: great motivation... still having it... even on rainy days.
what's not: just say "no" to white t-shirts when running in the rain!
