So the last few months have been pure mania for me. Lots of change.. Lots of smiles.. Lots of loss.. and lots of grief.. I still mourn the loss of my dog, Kirby and my patient.. I have started with a new client but will be working 10 hour night shifts. Mercifully, I will only be working 2/week but will also be getting certified as a cycling/spin instructor in October, so that will have to fit into my already busy schedule. And last night, my mom was notified that my uncle killed himself. And while I didn’t know him THAT well, I knew him. and loved him. And I ache for my mom and the pain that she is going thru. He was the last family that she had left.

Being the Fitness Coach of the college soccer teams has been my saving grace. Those kids have been amazing. Frustrating at first, while they suffered thru the "non-soccer" pain and agony, but now they get it.. and see it.. and love to hate me! 

 In a nutshell, I have been good, just seem to be on sensory overload, so I haven’t been here as much.
But I have been continuing to train, doing a mix of p90x and good old fashioned "janice-style" training.. and of course my cardio.. I will forever do my cardio! And today I did the Cross Fit WOD and finished in 15:36. I did have to greatly modify the handstand push ups and the pull ups but the kettleball squats, sit ups and burpees I could do.. And my Heart rate was sky high! i then did 20 minutes on the step mill and walked 10 minutes with an incline of 7.0%. can’t remember the last time I walked! haha

So now I’m home to clean and try to take a nap before work tonight. We’ll see how this goes!

Today was my first run since Lake Stevens.. Just about a month ago.. I hung up my running shoes and swim goggles and put away my bike post race.. haha.. So after I did fitness with the college soccer teams (so much fun was had by all.. well, at least by me.. not sure about the kids) I went to the gym to run on the treadmill.. I started my podrunner podcast for the 143 BPM podcast and away I went..And it felt soooooo good.. But I did get bored so I broke it up into 20 minute sections.. After the first 2 I felt good and strong.. So instead of running steady for a 3rd 20 minutes,  I went 10 minutes of 1:1 sprint/recovery intervals.. WOOOOOOWEEEEEEE! it’s been awhile since these frog legs have run that fast! and since this hearts beat at that speed.. and since this body has sweat that much sweat! I always forget how much more i sweat running than anything else.. well, maybe in spin class.. So now I have a headache, that’s slowly going away, thanks to lots of ice water and ibuprofen..

Once i got home, i did p90x chest/back and ab ripper x.. still eating well.. oh, and my sis-in-law is now staying with us while she goes to school and plays soccer.. yeah, just found this out on saturday.. good thing i roll with the punches.. (after a slight melt down and a tantrum.. but i gain my composure quickly.. haha) Oh, and still no job.. I’ve made some phone calls but nothing’s striking my fancy.. sounds just like a princess, doesnt it? haha.. wonder why people call me that?!

OH! and i had my first EVER hater email today! I feel very very special about that! I’d actually care and not think it so funny if I thought the guy was worth much.. but since he’s not (ok, i know all human life is valuable and we all bring gifts to this world.. and some people are here so we can learn and grow… and blah blah blah!) but honestly, i have too much to be grateful for to let a lonely, miserable, hateful man get me down.. there’s too many who think i’m a good thing.. hahahahahahaahahahahahhahahahahahaah =) I’M TEASING YA’LL!! (said like britney spears)

hope everyone’s day is a good one! Sure feels good to be back =)
