Ran last night. Pretty good time.

1st mile 10.06 (with a shoe tie stop)
2nd mile 9.00
3rd mile 9.20 (with a find your water bottle in the bush, open bottle, gulp water walkish)
last 10th 1.05

My mind and body were so in sync. It was a great feeling. I might have run faster b/c it was a black night by the time I finished, and I was so mad that hubby came home about 40min later than he said he would. All in all I'm glad I ran.

My fat stomach is still pissing me off. Went to the gym today did legs, hitt, stomach and a little arms. I see all these girls w/these super flat stomach and big hips and chunky thighs. Not that I want wide hips and big thighs (i definately don't) but when is my stomach going to start flattening. I have a waist now and it looks like I'm getting some kind of line down the middle of my stomach, but there is so much blubber there. They say you can't spot reduce, but I think that is bullshit. I'm running 3 days a week mininum, 2 days cardio at the gym, core work 2x a week (more for running and swimming endurance than anything) I don't get it. Maybe I'll take more pics and compare them to the July pics.

Hiit was good. I'm usually at 4.7 (recovery) and up to 7.5-8.5(exercise speed) at the end. I dropped the 4.7 walk and made it a 5.2 slow run. Actually the slow run is easier than the fast walk.

Wearing my size 12 "fat" pants today. (little note here....I'm not saying that someone who wears size 12 is fat ... I was that weight for about 6 years and never thought I was fat...until this January...I needed to lose weight or I was going to go up to 14-actually i was a size 14... then 16 etc....needed to nip it in the bud now!) They are big on me, and I must wear a belt to keep them up. I need to get rid of these big clothes. After losing 20lbs I feel like they should just fall off me. By keeping these pants around it's like I haven't accepted that those 20lbs are gone. I think down deep I'm waiting for me to gain 10+lbs this winter. I can NOT let that happen.

Started thinking about the 5k in September and my Ipod music. I think the first song has to be Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It starts out slow and kicks ass in the end. It's on my Ipod now I need to check how long it is...if I recall it's like a 9 min song. After that I'm thinking a little Prince, some Violent Fem's, Def Leppard... hmmm going to have to work on the music selection. Need some hard core pump up the volume for the final mile. Suggestions anyone?

Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats is a good one I've got on my iPod. I've also got some Violent Femmes on mine -- I can't help singing the last part of Blister in the Sun out loud -- for which I get funny looks for.
Depending on what kind of music you're in to, I usually go on the Top 40 website charts and find UK dance music. Kaskade is a new find and they're pretty good.
