Day 74, ONLY 26 days left... Not sure what happened to my last two posts! Never had them just disappear like that before. How annoying! I'm leaving most of what I wrote yesterday for those who didn't see Day 73.

Better Health Article: Taste Test- The Best Granola Bars- Every Day with Rachael Ray- This is for you, Camille!
Ab workout #4- Mountain Climbers. Great for your entire body, not just your core.
My Daily Update: Brought my new Nike shoes to the gym today and I HATED them. Couldn't run more than 1/2 mile in them and took them off. They are going back. ARGH! Where are my perfect running shoes?! The lady at Famous Footwear said "You know with running shoes, it's like Cinderella. You have to search to find that one perfect pair." I think she's right. Gotta keep looking. I met with my trainer and did some plyometrics and really worked my core and legs. My left elbow is still hurting and it's driving me crazy! I want to be able to do upper body but can't because of this. I'm going to wait it out over the weekend and see how I feel. If it's still hurting I think I'm going to be calling my sports medicine dr.
My Comments to You:
Camille- The article above is for you. Haven't tried all those bars but they all look yummy and I want to! I noticed there is a coupon at Costco this month for Zone Perfect bars. I've had one of those (think it was peanut butter and chocolate) and really liked it. Let me know which ones you try and what you think.
Whit- I know what you mean. I like exercising with people, but as long as we don't all have to keep the same paces. I had a funny moment in my spin class last Friday which made me realize I probably need to lighten up a little. The lady who had the bike next to me is an older lady from our Stake. I've talked with her a couple times and she's very sweet. Well, immediately I could tell she was kind of a casual, light spinner. I'm not. I like to push myself every song. Halfway into the class she got off her bike, adjusted her pedals, got a drink, then hopped back on. This whole time I was pushing up this huge climb. Once she was situated on her bike, she leaned over and asked me something. I felt like I was literally kicked out of my zone and I glanced up at her (with probably crazy adrenaline-filled eyes) thinking "You should be spinning hard right now!" The music was really loud so I had to ask her what she said again. She asked what my calling in my ward was right now. I was nice and answered back, but in my head I was thinking "Be quiet. Can't talk. Must push." I know, I'm a little too crazy sometimes. If it helps, I did talk to her after the class was over so we're all good. ;) Sorry guys. When I'm in the zone, I'm in the zone. Don't judge me. I know I get a little intense but that's just how I roll.

Have to report that since starting to track calories on May 2nd for the first time in my life, I'm down FOUR pounds. Hooray! My goal was to be under 140 by marathon day (next weekend), and I hit that mark today. Just gotta keep it there next week while I'm in taper mode :).
So I finished my 12k today. I don't know my time yet, but I'm not expecting anything fabulous. I jogged with my friend for the first 2 miles and kept wanting to pull away and go faster. Eventually I just had to do it because she was getting more and more tired and I felt a gust of adrenaline. I pretty much jogged the entire thing. I stopped to get a rock out of my shoe and once to enjoy the shade for a little but longer. IT WAS HOT! I think my face is sunburned. It was supposed to be overcast, so I brought my jacket, but once it all got started, it was too hot to wear it so I jogged with it around my waist. It was a pain in the butt! Anywho it's done, and I felt great the entire time. When I find out my time, I'll let you know.
Also, FYI, I have a pair of Nike Frees and I LOVE them. They are supposed to be similar to the barefoot running, but with a little bit of cushioning and support. I like them, but I think mine might be a little small. You have to walk around the house in them a few days before actually running in them. I thought I would hate them because my feet hurt the first time I put them on, but now I really love them. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there.
