Honestly, with all the work I have and things to get done at home it is going really quick so no complaints!! Except...poor David is sick as a dog and didn't go to work yesterday...get that overwith now buddy!

Monday I just had very little motivation to run...I haven't been sleeping well so I took a few long
walks and lifted weights.
Tuesday well tonight is the Biggest Loser and say what you will... IT TOTALLY MOTIVATES ME TO RUN! I mean I get that I'm not overweight so it's not like a scary factor, it's more like holy shit they are running at 12MPH on the treadmill...dude I'm slacking. Kind of like having a really weird trainer in my living room. I know some of you secretly watch it.. I know TOPHER does... so who are you voting for?
Wednesday morning I got up and had a nice cool crisp morning run of 3 miles. It felt good...and was a very big reminder that what i listen to has a big impact on my running. I love these new College Course Podcasts, but they seem to be good for walking not running. My inspirational podcasts totally get me going and I run a lot smoother and for a lot longer. Strange how the mind works.

I've been trying to make meals that are healthy...without going to the store this week. So I've thrown together some sauteed broccoli, black beans, spicy tomatoes (rotel, not the cheese) and egg beaters for lunch. Strange... and yet I know it will be quite yummy.
8 good vibes:
i hope the week continues to speed by!!! and i hope your hubby feels better ASAP!
great job on the runs. i watched the 2nd half of biggest loser last night. dont know how i am routing for yet!
I usually wait until week two to decide who I'm rooting for. That way there's one less team to pick from, and I get a better feeling of who's who. Maybe I should wait until week 7 or 8 so I'm more right.
Oh, no! Get better soon, David!!!
And 12 mph? Geez. And I always think I'm doing good by running an 11:00 minute mile. Maybe I need to add Biggest Loser to my viewing schedule, too, ha!
Yeah my wife and I like the biggest loser too. For some reason every Tuesday we seem to eat twice as much while watching that show. I have no idea why. It almost always involves a huge bowl of ice cream. Oh well.. it still motivates me.
Thanks for stopping over at my blog! I was just looking around yours and saw that you won the DryMax socks -- aren't they awesome! I won some for another challenge on RL and I love them. I only won two pair (not $70 worth!!) but I was thrilled. They are definitely my favorite socks because they really do work!
Re: this post. Have you ever tried the Biggest Loser workouts on exercise tv on demand? I've done some of those and they are pretty good for non-running days.
I am a BIG, Biggest Loser fan. BIG in the sense that I am a fan, not my size, at least not anymore.
I do however, get inspired by seeing these people lose the weight.

Hey Amanda,
I recently came across your blog and enjoyed reading through your archives as a fellow runner.
Over the past few months, I've been helping build http://www.ontri.com - a community-based website for marathoners and triathletes. I wanted to let you know about the site, and wondered if you would be interested in posting about it in your blog.
Keep on running,
Josiah

I'm a huge Biggest Loser fan, and my favorites are currently the pink team and the purple team. NOT because of the colors (though that helps), but because those women are so adorable and sweet and they're going to be smoking HOT when they finish!
Hate the brown team for being so whiny and obnoxious... maybe I'll get lucky and they'll go tonight.
