Yesterdays and Today's

7/17 and 7/18, a long over due post from me! 

I've been out of town here and there, redoing my room and there has been a lot of storms lately, way more than what my state should get. It's monsoon season already and that means - ehhh well, it doesn't mean anything! Rain or no rain, there really should be no excuse for not running. 

ANYWAY, FOOD:

Strawberry Oreos, Sour patch kids, chocolate fudge brownie mix and two bags of pretzel m&ms...Ended up downing a whole row of Oreos and 1 bag of pretzel m&ms in about ~3 days. 

My teeth has been acting up so maybe I should stop, I'm looking for more healthier alternative snacks but all I can think of are delicious cheesy Ruffles. 

On the 17th I went to go exercise in my raunchy gross T shirt that I ripped up when I was in high school, here you can see my AWFUL Neapolitan tan, 3 layers of tan, sun burnt, and pale. Fantastic. 

My garmin has been acting up a little bit, I used to be able to see lap spilts but now it just combines it all into one! When I change it to cycling though, it doesn't change the spilts at all - and I need the spilts on the running more; so I don't know what's up with that. I think I changed the settings, but I'm not really sure if it's going to work right. Oh well,time to check tomorrow when I go run.

Yesterday I did an easy 1mi to see my progress so far; I did the mile @ 9:07 which is a huge improvement from my horrendous 11 min mi at June 22nd, hopefully by October or so I can get my mile down to 6min (MY ULTIMATE DREAM GOAL! LOL)

This morning I did an easy 4mi-ler, Garmin was at 4.13 mi at 46:05 which is way more accurate than this Nike App distance wise. But I had the same average speed, which was at 11:09min/mi
I remember the first mile I did at 8:57 (not that far from the 8min goal!), the 2nd mile I did at around 10, because at the 2 mile I was close to 18:57+. The next two miles I hung around and did a 10mi-11mi pace, although I think at the last mi I was going at an excruciating 12min/mi.

After that I did some Zumba at 10am which was...eh
Interesting to say the least. I used to love Zumba, and I still do, but now since I took a break from it, I don't find it as exciting? I feel more like an idiot regardless.
My heart rate at Zumba was around 109-120, which is a huge decrease because when I run I'm usually at the 160-180. I lifted a little bit of weights afterwards which climbed back up to 135-148 ish.
I'll try to go to zumba a lot more, maybe its just this instructor I'm not fitting with.
She has a great butt though, she moves like water while I move like a clunky robot.

Going to do some p90x later tonight for evening exercise and see how I feel tomorrow lol!
