Peachy December Challenge!!!! (Page 11)

tomorrows a rest day, though ill be doing lots of running around though.  family christmas party to prepare for....

but sunday ill be back at it w a long run.

Got my peach with the Rose Bowl Half Marathon.  I was hoping to do it in under three hours, but came in at 3:05.  Oh well.  That's about what I did the Surf City Half Marathon in last February and this one was hillier so I guess I will take that as progress or improvement or something.

I thought it was a well-run race and by that I mean they had pretzels, M&Ms and Red Vines at a few of the later aid stations.  Any race  that has Red Vines is OK in my book.

Still peachy with #13 on the books. Took Bella for a walk. She is doing much better with the gentle leader, but she still pulls a lot with a regular leash.

Got my peach with a strength training workout which counts for the December Pick-a-Challenge as well.  Two for the price of one.  I will probably go on a short walk tonight.

ttow!

Yesterday was my weakest peach of the month.  I was supposed to go for a run, but it was cold and rainy.  Now, for those people who got out and ran in -11F weather, just ignore this part because you won't understand.  By cold I mean in the 40's.  And rainy.  Don't forget rainy.  You have to understand that I live in Southern California and we don't do cold or rainy.  I kept hoping I would talk myself into getting out and running even in the rain, but that never happened.  So in the end I did 30 abs crunches and gave myself a peach. 

Today I did get in a swim.  I mostly worked on implementing Queen Zipp's kicking tips.  I felt like I was swimming better, but the motor for the 50 meter pool was broken and so we had to swim in the 25 yard pool.  I don't have any easy way to compare times (yes, I do know how to work a calculator, but the whole workout was just odd because of the shorter distance and that pool is much warmer and the whole thing was just off) and so can't be sure I was faster.  The pool should be fixed by Thursday and we will see then how much improvement is real and how much is fantasy. 

one more peach for me.

36 min swim though it was 'supposed' to be 32 mins - i just kept swimming...kinda like Forrest kept running

endurance workout.

had my fastest 100 yd to date!

wee hee for me. 

Congrats on the 100!

35 minute swim this morning.  Headed back at lunch for strength training.

I did not workout first thing in the morning yesterday and wound up doing push-ups in my office because i could not look at the yellow square any longer!  Peach addiction, I know.
