I’m so tight, it’s almost impossible to change paces mid run. Which of coarse makes the intervals impossible. The blocks on the left are my recovery periods and the red should have been done at 80% of max heart rate. As you can see that didn’t work out. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/may2/PhotoGrid_1400589092988_zpsadv7fjc5.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/may2/PhotoGrid_1400590250268_zpshqcs1koc.jpg My current focus: Nutrition Plan:Calorie deficit cycling 500 to 1,500 calorie deficient a day.My calories breakdown targets are 70% carbs 10% fat 20% protein and 50 g’s of fiber.To be timed around training.Training Goals:For running the focus is speed.

OMG, That is never a good start to a hike! Seriously if you get nervous or panick at the sight of bee swarms DO NOT STOP and take pics! I wasn’t afraid of them so I knew if I didn’t get to close I was ok. Bees will know if your afraid. I was feeling a bit dead already so I kinda of thought FUCKKK this.. I turned my ass around and hike right back out! Found myself a breakfast and beer and chilled the rest of the morning!. There’s really not much you can do to protect your self from a massive swarm of angry bees. So I suggest if you run into them run the fuck away! Quietly .. but get away from them! If they attack all you can do is cover your face with a shirt and run. Don’t jump into water! They will wait till you come up for air and then attack!. Don’t scream or swat at them! Just run away. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/may2/IMG_20140520_094912_zpst1z0kcpg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kora Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I have a teenage son who has all year seasonal allergies and lately he's been very sick. He's on the verge of being hospitalized if he doesn't get better soon. His health has been deteriorating for almost a year now. Right now he has a sever infection in his sinus, ears, throat and lungs. We already knew he had severe seasonal allergies but we started doing allergies testing because he was sick all the time despite medical treatment for his allergies. We learned just yesterday that he's also allergic to wheat, corn and peanuts! So we have a lot of dietary changes to make in our house! Corn and wheat/gluten it's in damn near everything! So this will definitely be challenging! (EDIT IN-) So apparently I have the same food allergies just on a much smaller scale. I got tested after him because we have some of the same symptoms, like we both suffer stomach problems things like that. His are severe though where mine are mostly annoying. I had like a class one and his were a class 3 to 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kora Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I took the last three days off because my son is sick and I wanted to be around. He developed an infection in his ears, throat, sinuses and lungs probably as a result of the chronic allergy problems he's been having. Hopefully identifying the food allergies and eliminating those are going to help. He's been wheat, corn and peanut free for a few days now and we've already seen a some improvement. I finally went for a run yesterday but that's all I did. Since he is improving I will start easing back into training over the next few days. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/PhotoGrid_1401108402854_zpsui9crhzd.jpg my instatracking..

Id like to blame the rain for my slow pace but unfortunately I think its just me. My pace just seams to gets slower. My legs always feel over trained and under recovered.

Im not recovering. And this was actually three miles because again I got half mile in and had turn back.. and I restarted the app. My damn hair clip broke and I have way to much hair to run with it down. I swear I consider cutting it off at least once a week. As if my week wasn’t aggravating enough I passed a couple girls running and one of them told one of the other girls. “..she use to be a great runner. IF that’s the best she can do now she should just quit..” I want to punch her in the face but damn it she runs faster then me!! I see no reason to quit. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/IMG_20140604_104608_zpsxk3uhz3o.jpgWeight Lifting: DB Snatches Vertical Press 3×20 @ 35Wide Flyes 3×20 @ 35 – 50 -35DB Snatches 2×5 on ES @ 12 – 15 – 17 – 20 – 25 – 30 1×5 @ 30 w/ an over head hold 2×5 on ES @ 25 – 20 – 17 – 15 -12Front DB Raises 3×10 @ 15 & 15Side Lateral Raises 3×10 @ 15 & 15Iso vertical Rows 3×8 on ES 90 & 90Face pulls 3×8 @ 27#Plate Grip Shrugs 2×20 w/ 45′s http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/PhotoGrid_1401974447562_zpswwczgxzs.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kora Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Semi rest day.. Short run followed by a lot of laziness! http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/PhotoGrid_1401972084722_zpsnlcxdg0d.jpg Notes: for such a short run, it was really difficult! I’m sore, my muscle ache and I’m tired. I’m def not getting enough sleep which maybe contributing to my lack of recovery. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/PhotoGrid_1402070216891_zpsqnfgohpb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry no little square or stats with this run. I took a lot of pics so there was a lot stops along my run. LOL, running after storm pics may bring new meaning to storm chasing. My run was about 2 hours and a slow pace with stops for pic taking. And I’m not going to do anything else productive today so no real reason to wait till tomorrow to post.. So here’s my run in pics. These are all cell phone pics so not my best work as I haven’t mastered taking pics in the dark with my cell yet. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/Sunrises/IMG_20140606_081253_zpsgifqfjmv.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/Sunrises/IMG_20140606_071915_zps02kowgkf.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/Sunrises/PSX_20140606_100405_zpsqnh3ecvr.jpg When I started this run, the sun was rising and it was light out. But as this storm cloud moved over the area it became increasingly dark. To the point where for a while it looked as if night time had come back. Then suddenly there were all these clouds lightening up with flashes of light and the wind all once began to tear threw the area and for a while there was even a nice rotation to one the areas. I half excepted a tornado to drop out of the sky but it died away. I was almost sad to see it go because you can literally feel the energy of these storms outside when they build up or pass you buy. It’s really quite a rush of energy. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/Sunrises/IMG_20140606_073101_zpseupg48z2.jpg Pure energy.. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/Sunrises/IMG_20140606_080853_zpspzvqhk6y.jpg These are the clouds that had the a bit of rotation to them. For a while they had a nice little circle to them. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/Sunrises/IMG_20140606_074505_zpsdxj3psae.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/Sunrises/PSX_20140606_101316_zpsen9kpb4u.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/Sunrises/PSX_20140606_101047_zps3xxyfm1m.jpg Run likes this are always amazing. To be able to start a run with such a beautiful sunrise and then be able to watch this ineradicable storm move in with so much energy and force is just amazing. It’s why I love to run.

You have to wonder if they other lizards give them handicap signs for the east to access burrows. I took 3 days off running. Did some hiking and a little biking. Took things easy in the hopes of letting my back recover and muscles recover some. I think the addition speed work in my running, along with rowing & lifting was to much change. I couldn’t recover from it. So I rested a few days and I will build things back up but at a slower pace. My plan is to return to running. Starting with 3 miles a day and I’m just dropping the speed work for now. The rowing and lifting are more important to me right now. I want be lifting this week. I’ll start that next week with shorter lifting sessions. As for rowing I’ve dropped it down to 15 minutes followed by 15 minutes on the had bike. I will build my time up from there.

Short today. Tomorrow I will post full workout day, new goals or I guess just reworked goals.. yet again. LOL, I know it’s frustrating.. but the constant readjusting for my on going back problems is something I’ve learned to live with and constantly adapt to. AND OMG I stopped stretching during my down time.. biggest fucking I think I have ever made! When I tried stretching today it was like starting over! The muscle tightened back up really fast it’s like starting over. They back and leg muscles are extremely tight and painful. ugh.. my own fault though.. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/PhotoGrid_1402403168664_zpsdtiencdz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 What is the data program/app you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kora Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 What is the data program/app you use? For exercise I use the pro version of endomondo with a heart rate monitor. For diet tracking I use my fit pal connected with body media. The squares are made by cropping screen shots and putting then in a collage. Im finding it to be a faster and easier way to trackk then copying or typing things out. Plus I can post them to instagram with a few training notes.

Last week I was having recovery problems so I pulled back on training and I’ll have to rebuild again. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/IMG_20140611_153929_zpsim2rkhwk.jpgNotes: I managed 25 minutes of rowing today before my back spazed. I think this is mostly a problem with the muscle tightness. It’s the forward stretch giving me trouble. I think muscles just need time to stretch and lengthen. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/IMG_20140611_210059_zpsbabl47py.jpgNotes: The walk went good, I carried my training pack from hiking for added weight. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/PhotoGrid_1402584582953_zps1dekmwi3.jpgNotes: That is actually a bigger def then I wanted. I guess it’s ok though. I’ve really struggled to lose even a little weight and it looks like it actually might be a result of thyroid problems. *sigh* Which probably also explains the bouts I have with extreme fatigue sometimes. I’m not going on any meds right now though. Every sense the back injury and my training again I’ve had like this domino effect of injuries, health problems ect.. for example the back injury cause me to walk hunched for a while which lead to alignment issues which lead to a knee problem, then a foot problem.. ect. But with each case I’ve been able to work through, rehab and fix each problem so that I’ve come out better off. So I’m just going to continue doing that and assume that as long as I continue moving forward I will eventually reach my goals. So I don’t really bother fretting or getting to wrapped up in each little problem. I just focused on what I need to do and the end goal. …and in case you haven’t seen them the toddlers.. I named then Grumpy & Perking, because one of them is looks grumpy and the other is always way to happy to see people. They live near me and they haven’t quite learned to fly yet so I find them hopping around and sleeping in the grass on occasion. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20May%20Insttracking/PhotoGrid_1402113756816_zpswndolbkp.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There lightening had mostly died down and the rain had stopped. I even looked at the weather map and it showed the rain past us, so I went on my run. A mile in it very suddenly started to pour! I mean pour! With in minutes I was running in water that was covering my feet completely! *sigh* So I turned around and headed home. Other then that it was a good run.. The pace is off because I stopped and took some pictures while running. One day I’ll just use the auto stop function. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/IMG_20140612_074841_zpsjc3kr5o9.jpg Take 2 ... http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/IMG_20140612_090727_zpsh0ilx4i9.jpg The pace a bit off here to, yes I took a few pics on this run to. At least it was drier. I followed this up with 30 minutes of stretching, Along with post run stretch routine I have a back rehab stretching program so I mixed them together. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/PhotoGrid_1402664126650_zpsjxecynhs.jpg Breakfast 5-7 Calories Carbs Fat Protein Sodium Fiber20 – oz waterCoffee, soy creamer, fiber, splenda , Banana147 36 0 1 6 9 Meal 2 8-10Plant fusion vegan protein powder, light soy milk, fiber, frozen mixed fruit20 – oz water225 23 4 29 530 8 Meal 3 11-1Pineapple fried brown rice, with 2 cups veggies & tofu10 oz water363 66 2 21 920 10 Meal 4 2-42 cups of fruit10 oz water160 49 0 0 15 3 Meal 5 5 -7Baked potato wedges w/ diced onions, tomatoes, peppers, almond cheese, guacamole, vegan sour cream10 oz water401 50 17 14 1,124 8 Snackkettle chips20 oz water150 17 8 2 170 1 Hydration Total: 90 ozAll vegan, corn, wheat & nut free.

I was tempted to increase the mileage, But with the problems I had last week I’m hesitant to go off my training plan. I’m a little afraid if I start rushing miles that I’ll end up like last week.. stuck not being able to recover. On the bright side I wasn’t in any pain today. My knee seams to be slowly getting better and my back pain is mostly gone. I am still stuck with the insane tightness in my lower back and legs but hopefully if I continue stretching and not slack off it that will improve quickly. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/PhotoGrid_1402674712582_zpsyo5z9ctj.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/PhotoGrid_1402705845664_zpsjtetlrmb.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/PhotoGrid_1402751893447_zpsmbakfu34.jpg I actually didn’t mean to have this large of a deficit, I ate more then I normally do so I thought I was doing better then that. I guess I under estimated my calorie burn for the. I didn’t make the best food choices at dinner, I ate 3 bowls of Fruity Pebbles with unsweetened coconut milk for dinner. That probably wasn’t good?? But the rest of the day was good. Mainly fruits, veggies, brown rice & vegan protein. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/IMG_20140613_201200_zpsfdqzxjiy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kora Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 (My son thinks the face in the clouds looks like a pug ate a baby and they morphed together. Which I guess makes it a puaby.) http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/IMG_20140615_075358_zpszd5jvf8b.jpg I’m finding I need a good sensor of humor and the possibility of killing the only kid in the house with my cooking! So he’s close to adulthood you would think if he survived my cooking this long a few more years would be a breeze. But no. His food allergies are clearly becoming more sensitive. We just learned about them a few weeks ago and I can tell there’s a lot to learn when someone says your kid can’t eat wheat, gluten, corn or peanuts! There are so many ingredients that are made from or with these ingredients! It’s difficult to buy anything that doesn't have these ingredients in it so we've been eating very simply lately. Sunday we “thought” we had found a bbq sauce that was wheat & corn free, so I made bbq chicken for the kid. BIG MISTAKE!! Before he had even finished eating he was struck with stomach pains, quickly progressing to shortness of breath, ill feeling and swelling in his face and neck area. We quickly treated him and he improved before it became life threatening, but it was damn close and very scary! We keep benadryl and an epi pen right in the kitchen so we are prepared! Even with that though it’s still a bit scary. This is the first time an anaphylactic reaction has happened so quickly. I’m not sure if this is a sign the allergies are worsening or if maybe his reaction to allergens (in this case we think corn) has become more sensitive. Like when you stop eating certain foods for allergy reasons does the body have a stronger reaction because it’s no longer accustom to dealing with the reaction? I’ll have to ask his doctor. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/IMG_20140614_082111_zps0unlvdwg.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/PhotoGrid_1402854975011_zpshsguceum.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/PhotoGrid_1402849883050_zpsnsdqssmb.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/PhotoGrid_1402850473494_zpszhriighk.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab28/koraraving/A%20June%20instatracking/PhotoGrid_1402932855372_zpsseytfxzu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
