Run Eat Repeat

Cascadian Farm Protein Bar Giveaway

Cross Training

FacebookTweetPin
7 Feb

Happy Friday! I’m very excited for this weekend since I’ll be spending some QT with my best friend Smile

Today I want to address the heated LOVE/HATE relationship I have

karma made me do it (376x502)

with yoga.

I love how yoga makes me feel. I know it’s good for me.

But I have a ton of excuses why not to go…

– Too far

– It’s an hour and a half!?!?!

– I’m busy

– I think my dog ate it

– I’m too stressed

– My toe hurts

But yesterday I found a studio a little closer to home AND they have 1 hour classes!!

Buuuut, the class on my level was around lunch time. Luckily, I was determined and grabbed a protein bar. This is one of the new Cascadian Farms protein bars with pea protein the company sent me.

You had me at chocolate chips Smile

Here is the nutrition information – about 250 calories and 9 grams of protein per bar. (There are two flavors, this is the chocolate chip box.)

Ingredients I recognize = bonus.

And it turns out I really liked this new-to-me yoga class! My hips were very thankful I went – especially during pigeon.

I plan on going back twice once a week and I’m saying it here (again) to keep me honest.

i dont know why it took three pictures like this (743x502)

Cascadian Farm Protein Bar Giveaway

The company wants protein to take you places too! They are giving one RER reader a prize pack with the new protein bars, a bag, shirt and portable water bottle.

      I am proud that I ran a cross country memorial run!(: I had to run 5 miles and out of 300 teens, I won in the top 10, 5th place! Also, I was the youngest to win! I’m only 13 but I am absolutley HUGE on protein, yoga, fitness, etc. I was recomended to nationals cross country! Although I’m proud of how much I ran and what place I came in, I’m most proud that I didn’t give up. When I felt pain and wnated to stop, I would tell myself: “It’s not worth giving up, run more, think of what’s better for you!” All of the pain and time trying to breathe while running made me realize, when you want to succeed as badly as you want to breathe, that’s when you’ll be successful. <3

      I know it is 8:03 but please let me enter your contest! Or at least let me tell you about what I am proud of, lol. Today I ran outside on snow covered roads! This is a big deal because I have been too nervous to do it so the TM and me have been best buds. Anyway, I went out there and have a great time. Thinking I will be sore from my running gate changing, but that’s okay!

      I’m proud we FINALLY bit the bullet and bought a treadmill. Ever summer I lose so many of the gains made during fall/winter because its a 1000 degrees and so humid here in FL so my runs are like 3 miles, if that. I also am off work from teaching and inevitably drink a bunch of beer at the beach and gain some weight then I start over with my training. My goal is to keep up my running or actually INCREASE it since I’ll have the time/energy and no weather excuses to not run. Anyways, I’m really stoked to get it since it will be hot here in probably like 3 or 4 weeks 🙂

      Also, I’m proud of cleaning the bathroom, doing laundry, and baking last night after a long day at work and wet commute home on public transit.

      I have a Love-Hate relationship with yoga too except there is no Love part at all. I just don’t have the patience to do it all. I really wish I would do it though since stretching is so good for runners.

      I am proud of planning my entire week’s worth of workouts and sticking to it all week. I did have to do a couple of tweaks due to my work schedule but I am on target to hit my mileage goal for the week!

      Ice and snow have thrown a wrench in my training plans lately, and though I’ve ordered a treadmill it hasn’t arrived because it is delayed… by… ice and snow! Knowing I needed to run today and knowing I couldn’t do it before or after work, I brought my running gear with me to the office for the first time and set out for a nice 5K around the DC Tidal Basin during lunch. Cleaning up afterwards in the bathroom wasn’t too much fun, but the run was incredible and SO WORTH IT! Why have I never done this before?!?!

      I’m proud of myself for going to yoga today, too! I have the same relationship with it…love it because I know its good for my body but I have a hard time making myself go because I would rather be doing some sort of other exercise.

      I am proud that I didn’t completely freak out and cry when my power went out due to the ice storm in PA and my husband couldn’t help me with anything because he was away…especially notable because I am pregnant with twins. And I got in a workout that day, which made me feel better. 🙂

      Hmmm I’m proud that I went to the gym when it was 3 degrees outside, even if I only ran 3 miles! I totally agree with you about yoga. I think it’s the timing that drives me nuts – I would love an hour or 45 minute yoga class, but they are very hard to find around here. Most are 90 minutes, and let’s be honest that takes up your whole evening! I need some shameful TV time too 🙂

      I started yoga last week and loved it. Thought it was meditation fake sport, but it was great. And even though I have been flying every day and couldn’t get to yoga class, I found some yoga relaxation beats and did the exercises on my own in my hotel room.

      I did ALL of my weekday training runs this week (before work no less)! I’m typically pretty good about long runs on Saturdays but I sometimes let my hill or easy runs fall by the wayside during the week. This week I did both my hill repeat run AND my 50 minute easy run!

      I stayed on my bike during both HARD rides this week, and I stayed on the treadmill during my speed workouts. The speed workout on the TM meant short mileage and means easy recovery, but the speed was faster than I’m used to so I have some work to do!

      I gave some serious thought to an issue while I was pounding out miles on the treadmill. Being a non-confrontational person, I convinced myself to confront a person about a rumor and found out it wasn’t even true. I’m proud of myself for stepping outside of my comfort zone and confronting an issue instead of passing along rumors and talking about someone behind their back.

Hoping these small steps help. By the way have you tried Cascadian Farms vanilla chip granola bars? Amazing! And their cinnamon crunch cereal tastes exactly like cinnamon toast crunch, WIN!

      because of the snow/ice I ran on the treadmill twice this week instead of outdoors and have to say i’m finding the love for it! I even made it 6 miles which is a distance I never thought I could complete on a treadmill without poking my eyes out from boredom first. YAY! I’m learning how to love it. I won’t have to call it the dreadmill anymore. But don’t worry, you won’t be finding me doing 20 milers on one. That ‘aint happenin’

This week I’m proud of myself because not only did I go to cycle class everyday, I also swam 40 laps in 20 minutes. And if you know me, I’m not a swimmer. It’s grown on me as a result of my injury.

      We have a yoga instructor who comes to our office once a week for an hour long class on Tuesday evenings, I’m still riding the high from this week’s class. We also got some serious hip opening action on, so stretched out on Tuesday and so sore on Wednesday. Best part is that it’s crazy convenient AND it’s only 5 bucks a class!

      I’m proud of myself for doing our proscribed speed workout on Wednesday even though our outdoor run was cancelled due to weather and I’m still sick. I rocked it out on the treadmill and I kicked my own butt.
