Personal:

well something interesting about me is that 3 years ago i went on the Biggest Loser show...but that didn't go well. i gained 60 pounds. but on the plus side the show told me that i was the first one to gain weight on the show and gave me a $5 dollar coupon to Mcdonalds....my favorite :)

My starting weight was 365 pounds. After training this past bit, (with my trainer Philander) I am now 280 pounds! also i'm 5"6'. i know i have a long way to go but i think i can do it! please comment on my runs to help motivate me! Please comment.  Cause you know what they say, when people get comments, they lose weight! hahahhahahah i love that quote...but seriouly. comment

I feel pretty proud of myself today! i ran the farthest i've ran in 6 years! i started off the track at a good pace and continued moving at a strong pace. my breathing started to get heavy and i wasn't sure if i was going to make it but i kept pushing! soon i rounded the first hundred meters and my time was 1:05, i was exactly on pace to break 2 minutes. on this staight away i pushed my turn over faster cause these are my stronger points of the lap, but i just could breathe anymore, so i grabbed my inhaler out of my side pocket on my shoe and took it which helped A TON!!!!!

 soon i was half way finished but my time was a sad 2:15 :( i was only half way done and my time was already out of reach... i think i was because of the 5 seconds i took taking the inhaler...bummer. but i could still get a PR which is under 15 minutes.

third hundred meter split was a bit fast seeing how my time was 2:59... it might have been because i cut a big through the field but no one was looking so i dont think i matters. anyway, this last hundred meters i knew would be the hardest, but i'm known for my kick and so i thought i could break 3 minutes and for me, that is incredible! half way through i couldn't breathe again but i knew i couldn't stop for the inhaler so i kept pushing... then all of a sudden 20 cows blocked my way to the finished but luckly i was running with a shotgun on my back so i shot them all off in about 10 minutes, then finally continued my run until i cross the finish line with a new PR of 14:39.34!

i'm kind of sad that those cows got in the way of breaking 3 minutes but you know how it is living in iceland. and you know what i always say "you can't beat a dog to a cat's belly" hahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha....oh man i love that quote.

well since i did this distance all at once i'll just take an easy the rest of the week and just limit my walking to the fridge and couch. i'm glad to get this in though and with a new PR! life is so good. and you know what the french say about cheese, "if you cant beat em', eat em'" hahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahaha...ooh my poor husband....he should've let me beat em'.... anyway, i'll type again tomorrow. bye!

well today was a big recover day from yesterday. i was sooo sore, i could barely move my arms to eat my life cereal with strawberry jam (its really good, you should try it!) but my garmin said i have moved .1 miles today, i know its not much but its good after yesterdays run. for dinner i had a healthy dinner of steak and milk (i had quite a surplus of steak because of yesterday's experience :) ...anyway, not much more to say, 21 hours of sleep is a lot, but it was amazing! but you know what they say "the more you sleep, the better you get at stocking male elephants" hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... ooh man! i love that quote...anyway, bye!

well last night was horrible. i didn't get a wink of sleep! so after 5 minutes of not being able to sleep i go up and ordered Mcdonalds: 6 big mac's, 4 large fries and 2 large dr. peppers. i know i shouldn't have, but i just couldn't help myself, i just kept eating and eating...even after i downed all the Mcdonalds i went to my fridge and had another 2 steaks. so i gained 15 pounds so my run the other day pretty much did nothing. oh well. i got to sleep at 6am and slept till 4pm so i got my sleep in. afterward i went and visited my husbands grave.
