I always frink one before a road race and in my mind it helps:<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92Mt961z8dYMETCEzvCdVYirZFweWu9Xw8X1g50FZlAsdf7oE9cWPV6VjvIDBX2M0_bN86ua1pstsg1vKe-3Zdg1iRYLvy4GVsF6_XI1M8IFlkmYMD-1ZEPVk3GY5D8z5fpOTnNzUdNk/s1600-h/Kodak+09+001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388427019992841762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92Mt961z8dYMETCEzvCdVYirZFweWu9Xw8X1g50FZlAsdf7oE9cWPV6VjvIDBX2M0_bN86ua1pstsg1vKe-3Zdg1iRYLvy4GVsF6_XI1M8IFlkmYMD-1ZEPVk3GY5D8z5fpOTnNzUdNk/s320/Kodak+09+001.JPG" /></a> Since the race was in town we didn't leave the house until 10 minutes before it started. I ran a little to warm up because it was 42 degrees here this morning. I then got my number and t-shirt and lined up. It was a small race, lots of college kids because it was for their homecoming.<br /><br />When we started I hit go on my iPod and it was the first time I ever brought my iPod to a race to help me keep my pace up to hopefull PR. The route was great and there were a lot of college wrestlers running this that were keeping a 6:30/7:00 mile pace and I tried to keep up with them as much as possible. When I realized how close we were to the end I looked down at my iPod and it said 20:30 minutes I booked it and ended up PRing the he!! out of this race. I got 21:17 and my normal is 23:30 about. I can't believe how great I did for not really training and slacking on the nutrition lately, something in the Iowa air?<br />Anyways I got 1st place and and won 5lbs. of gummy worms, my favorite! Also had a post-race banana and granola bar.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_iClW_GsZso6lMo6W7SWV_vzJGhUWTcDZsBudNe00OjNe-lr5zbpiskd42ghvMhwKR-UbLMxqEriqp1DZAN3-8590H8MT9pCUDJXlD_-DgQt4jAXjrI98LLAJO3TGr8spqCwCKR11aHg/s1600-h/Kodak+09+001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388427013491401170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_iClW_GsZso6lMo6W7SWV_vzJGhUWTcDZsBudNe00OjNe-lr5zbpiskd42ghvMhwKR-UbLMxqEriqp1DZAN3-8590H8MT9pCUDJXlD_-DgQt4jAXjrI98LLAJO3TGr8spqCwCKR11aHg/s320/Kodak+09+001.JPG" /></a> An older lady (maybe 30) came up to me right after the race and said good job and asked my time and I told her I shaved 2 minutes from all previous 5k's. She asked if I did marathons too and I told her I want to but haven't made it that far yet. She said I would do great at marathons given my current running PR and training I've been doing lately.<br />After that conversation it got me thinking about why I haven't gone after marathons yet, I mean I've been running 7 years, my moms ran at least 8 marathons, I've done about 20-30 5k's and10k's and I'm good. A lot of others around me including some other wonderful blog ladies are doing marathons and completing their goals like that. So I'm thinking about signing up for a marathon this coming June because I need to stop fearing marathons and know that I'm fully capable of this great feat. The one I'll be doing is <a href="http://www.grandmasmarathon.com/">Grandma's Marathon</a> in Duluth, MN,it's a beautiful course. Sign up isn't until January and it's a first come, first serve basis and I know getting a hotel can be hard, so I'm crossing my fingers and praying to get in. Even though it's almost 9 months to go I still want to start training and preparing now because I want to make sure I'm healthy enough to do it. </p><p>If you have any tips or advice on planning I would love to hear it!</p><p>Onto after race fuel I had some <a href="http://www.amazinggrass.com/">Amazing Grass</a> from the package I won from Lynn and Christy over at the <a href="http://actorsdiet.blogspot.com/">Actor's Diet</a>.

This time I am reviewing Pirate's Booty Puffed Rice and Corn snacks. I like potato chips so this seemed to me to be a good thing. Leianna gave me choices of all different kinds of flavors like veggie, onion, and BBQ. I definitely wanted the BBQ flavor so I offered to do a review on that.<br /><br />The snacks had the texture of a cheeto, which was good, I am guessing that they did that to make the snacks less heavy and more healthy. The taste was very good too. Sometimes when you get a healthy snack the flavor is awful, but they seemed to get the flavor right. It tasted like a regular Lays BBQ chip.<br /><br />My overall grade for this one is an A-. The minus is in there only because there package did not have enough snacks. What is your favorite chip flavor or combination?<br /><br /><div></div></div>Leiannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17218244428389853312noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301416994117969312.post-504610266015142402009-09-29T11:06:00.000-07:002009-09-29T11:32:52.108-07:00Packages GaloreGood Afternoon ladies!

We changed oil and washed cars. My husband golfed and I ran. We had Pizza: me Sweet Swine and him Bronco. I got an awesome package from a great company whose products I can't wait to try. I truly think I need to reevaluate my eating lately, it's been all over the place, not as structured as I like and my ED is truly taking over again.
<br />But first I want to tribute the first half of this post to my Dad who turns 59 today and is celebrating with all my family in Pine City, MN because it's also my uncles/dad's brothers birthday today too. Wish I could be there:(
<br />This first picture is of my dad and I at our rehearsal walking me down the aisle where I lost it and cried the whole time.

I've wanted to try all these different varieties for a long time and was so excited when she said she would send me some to sample. I can't wait to dig in. I also hid them in the freezer so no one else would touch them. With lots of boys around this household they would be gone in an hour if I shared! My hubby will also review one later in the week.

I didn't sleep at all last night and woke up around 8am when my hubby got up for work.

It's been getting cold here in Iowa so I've been thinking about getting a gym membership soon because running outside in Iowa winters sucks! A 3 month membership would be $81 minus a 15% discount for me working at the hospital, and trust me I will get my moneys worth:)</span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;">I then felt compelled to sign up for a 5K on October 3rd at <a href="http://www.nwciowa.edu/">Northwestern College</a>, which is in town here and it's their homecoming that weekend. It was only $10 and it should be a fun, fall run. There is also another college in the next town over that has their homecoming 5K on October 17th, but it's @ 11am and I might work that day but still might do it, we'll see!</span></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGawbO063uUl2fUgsVLftn0NjQYREQFt8OQWhopt5WErM4D9xrq_TGTkFsykDqv0xedMftZv9TEjf17A4E063k91xu8BlZ8ywKrvvo88vfHMrrk8KhjpuBWJ2ufvdabL71FD9TyJi6zL0/s1600-h/Kodak+09+002.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384821170563063922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGawbO063uUl2fUgsVLftn0NjQYREQFt8OQWhopt5WErM4D9xrq_TGTkFsykDqv0xedMftZv9TEjf17A4E063k91xu8BlZ8ywKrvvo88vfHMrrk8KhjpuBWJ2ufvdabL71FD9TyJi6zL0/s320/Kodak+09+002.JPG" /></a><br /><span style="color:#000000;">The rest of the afternoon I spent on <a href="http://www.hulu.com/">Hulu</a> watching Biggest Loser and Gossip Girl, so excited I finally got to see both and they both blew me away.

She asked if I would write a blog post in regards to this new yogurt that she has been eating. Since I am a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy she tried to convince me to eat and do a review on Chobani Yogurt.<br /><br />Leianna is more of a health nut, I am more of a hefty kind of eater. I reluctantly accepted her invitation and decided to give the yogurt a try. I have had yogurt before when Leianna made me try to eat more healthy. While regular yogurt is OK, I didn't find it irresistible like I found Pizza, or Steak. Because of that I didn't eat a lot of yogurt.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzHhHdOz8Ek2wPB7eTaGju2MA-vOMI2LsLL8uijaR0_QgfBiLtT7VvG4XA-Wrr1ieow6a30mvtiYhGCanL1f2ovKlhgcBRwQoGOXAgM8CaViBslSRCeWeOITudbgw_5Pk2SG-20uEoDfw/s1600-h/100_0157.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzHhHdOz8Ek2wPB7eTaGju2MA-vOMI2LsLL8uijaR0_QgfBiLtT7VvG4XA-Wrr1ieow6a30mvtiYhGCanL1f2ovKlhgcBRwQoGOXAgM8CaViBslSRCeWeOITudbgw_5Pk2SG-20uEoDfw/s320/100_0157.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384489188404783890" border="0" /></a>My first bite of the Chobani Yogurt was like an adventure into the unknown. I didn't know if it would taste like seaweed or something, so I closed my eyes and ate it. It was pretty good for being so healthy. What I really liked was the fact that it had real seeds from pomegranate (which was also the flavor). That gave it more than just the old yogurt flavor. It also beats flax seed (which Leianna has also put in my yogurt in the past).<br /><br />Overall I would rate it a B+.

I loved it so much and the people were awesome, something I've never had! We were non-stop all night so barely got a 15 minute break, not even time to wolf down a dinner so it was a snacky, whatever was leftever from patients/residents. I didn't know what my schedule would look like from last night forward because it wasn't posted. I called my supervisor this morning and she wanted me back tonight!<br />So it's another afternoon posting. We woke up @ 8am, because we were that tired from the craziness of moving and all the to-dos. I had a quick <strong><span style="color:#33ff33;">key lime larabar. </span></strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-NVh3iw0uju9VywqIrW9lD7W9qAixgNngyr2w2Gf8o9_SNrGKQcVN1KWKD_SmRjQ1SNXGsJ122jRgDS6RZULvyvfhpRpkFs4rnIqdgFJn7733Jv-wSUUQNtFoZ8fNkmo3m4q9Oq5C6rI/s1600-h/Kodak+09+015.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380276372975808690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-NVh3iw0uju9VywqIrW9lD7W9qAixgNngyr2w2Gf8o9_SNrGKQcVN1KWKD_SmRjQ1SNXGsJ122jRgDS6RZULvyvfhpRpkFs4rnIqdgFJn7733Jv-wSUUQNtFoZ8fNkmo3m4q9Oq5C6rI/s320/Kodak+09+015.JPG" /></a> I then went to the bank, dropped off paperwork @ H.R., post office and my husband's new work place to see when he starts!<br />Lunch was a <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Strawberry Cheesecake yogurt </strong></span><span style="color:#000000;">and some <a href="http://www.mixmygranola.com/">MixMyGranola</a>. I found out about this yogurt from <a href="http://iowagirleats.com/">Kristin</a></span> who also lives in Iowa and raves about this brand.
