What’s your POA (plan of attack)?

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

What a great weekend~
I am full of anticipation for my trip and then when I get home my DH’s fight!! I am so pumped for both, but right now I am just trying to focus on the day/task at hand…Enjoying the MOMENT!!

Last night was good, we went out to eat at On the Boarder and thankfully were seated right away. The kids were good–had to go to the bathroom, like always! But the meal went smoothly and I did fairly well on being good. I had some chips and salsa, a bit of the cheese enchiladas that came with my ranchero steak some rice and water to drink–so 2P,2C, G (salsa) 2F overall for the meal.
Afterwards we went home and watched the PRIDE fights!! Oh that was crazy bad production, but AWESOME fights– two of my favorite fighters Nick Diaz and Dan Henderson both won!! It was
FUN to see!

Today, we went to church–great message again!! and then I worked and just finished intervals.
I tried to run outside–wanted to test my legs after Friday’s track workout–still stiff, so after .7 of a mile came in and did intervals on the bike
1-30sec interval with 1 min recover
then 1-15 sec interval with 1 min recovery
REPEATED a total of 6 times
then finished with a couple min cool down.

It was good enough–and tomorrow I will hit the track again!

Here is my teneative POA for this week workout wise:
M- track
T- workout at hotel- lift legs
W-workout at hotel- lift upper and treddy
Th- off
F- track workout
Saturday- off
Sunday-?

What is your PLAN OF ATTACK?

It works if you work it!

IT is Working!!

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

Good evening my Darlings,
I am please to announce “IT is working!”
It being my track training~ I had a super successful track workout this afternoon and it made my bad mood turn GREAT!

the Lowdown:
Warm up 800m jog  and stretch
all done with full recovery–varied from 4-8 mins between
sprint 200= 29sec
400=69
200=29
400=69
200=30
400=67! and I was not dead~ 2 weeks ago 2 400’s at a much slower pace almost killed me~ I am very HAPPY!!

The track experience (with 4 kids in tow) was not without entertainment:
First when we got there a Father with 3 young boys (ages 5-7) was timing them running 50 meter dashes and 400m runs.  As I finished my first 200 I realized it was a friend of my husbands– THE cage fighting friend we saw fight in Tulsa last November (Brent Smith)– in which he had broke his nose…I had not seen the man since then and had only ran into him once before in Wal-Mart while shopping.  Anyhow, I said “Brent??” and he stood up and I introduced myself as Michelle Berger– Travis Berger’s wife…and then the chat was on–we chatted about his nose, where he was now training, our kids, and then TIA my little observant one–pointed out that he had purple toe nails (they were quite nicely painted Purple, lol!)

…and then got interrupted by 2 little twins needs to go potty–So we grabbed some Kleenex and headed to the bathroom which was conveniently locked– so they had a good laugh peeing on the ground outside of the locked public potty.

Then on 400 #2- Layla almost got plowed– as I was “coming home” she decided to run right in front of me– I screamed “MOVE”! –poor thing, she was so excited to see me but didn’t understand I was going so fast!

Then as I was ending my cool down I saw Gunner throw something- and then TIA start screaming holding her head–well he “accidentally” hit her in the head with a rock–
So, he had to sit in the van while the rest of us played in the park for a bit before we went home.

In other happenings, I got my make up done today, bought a couple more shoes, got my other package of stuff from VS–so I am closer to READY for NYC!!

Well since it is Friday Night, I need to go relax a bit now~
TGIF!!
