VLAWG with 128% more bats
* I will be doing a separate Fitcation recap with all the awesomeness of the weekend.
Fitness update :
- teaching 7 yoga classes this week (subbing for friends + my own classes)
- Crossfit was a no go last week to let my calf heal up a bit but I am back at it 3x this week
- Running was a no go last week except for some jogging in the Bolder Boulder 10K, easing into it this week and testing out my New Balance Minimus Trail shoes
Endurance event update (I have 3 races I am registered for so far):
- The Warrior Dash on 20 August that will be play but there will be summer training camps to get used to altitude training.
- The Iron Girl sprint triathlon on 27 August with online training buddy Ciao Mom – I wanted to do this event last year but was newly post-partum so volunteered handing out goodies and marking bodies
- Denver Rock n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon 9 October – I want to do well… did 2:35 last year with walking after 9 miles and shortly after I had baby, this year it is real.
Food:
Let me just say I feel like I am coming off of a junk hangover. I appreciate all the sponsors for Fitcation but am used to eating real food with minimal ingredients. “Healthy” processed food is a better option vs. other processed food but I need to cleanse this week to get back to normal. After we finished I did head to Magnolia Cafe for a bean entree, it was a good start (yes that is cheese, but that is also a cornmeal cake for grain).
There will be lots of produce, legumes, grains, and water.
I am also considering attending a Creating Healthy Change event tonight with Robyn O’Brien regarding our food system and all the craziness that has screwed so many people with food allergies and obesity.
Tuesday Dinner: Black Beans, Brown Rice, Salsa Verde
Wednesday: Mixed Green Salad w/ Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
Thursday: Wheat Pasta with Caramelized Onions, Blue Cheese and Walnuts + salad
Friday: Kebabs (protein and veggie) with Gazpacho
Saturday: Hummus, Pita, Fruit, Grilled Veggies
Kia, in case I haven’t told you lately… I admire and respect you! YOu are a class act… honest, true, raw, and REAL! I love that about you. You are such an inspiration to all who meet you. You inspire me daily and motivate me to keep pushing through when the going gets ‘tough’.
I would love to pick your brain more on your nutrition know how (as that is still my achilies heel).
Have a fantastic week and I look forward to hearing your fitcation recap! 🙂
AND… WOOT on fun registred races for your coming weeks!! Go you!!
Holy bats, Batman!!! Twice in the past three years we’ve had a bat loose in our house and I happened to be home alone…and I am ashamed to admit that I screamed like a little girl…
Yay for the bats! I’m so sad we didn’t get a chance to hangout 🙁 major sadness.
What an awesome way to cap off Fitcation! Really wish I could have been there, but it wasn’t in the cards this year.
Here’s to healthy, cleanse-ful week!
You are the BOMB! That is all.
Ok.
You are my hero.
Thank you for being you.
LOVED every second of the video 😀
I would love to see a list of your goals and how you plan on training for them.
Those bats are cool! I gotta go back to Austin some time to check it out with Jim and Seamus!
Looking forward to seeing how you do in the half!! You are going to kick some assssssszzzzzzzz.
Also I’ll go check out Ciao Mom’s site. Definitely will donate. Perhaps next year you can be MY virtual training partner for a sprint tri??
: ) I can’t believe I won’t be seeing you again any time soon!! WAAAAH!
