Filed under: Special Moments — Eileen Joy @ 6:51 am

Today marks my one year anniversary with the County. So how am I celebrating? I know that’s the question you all are asking yourselves. The answer is…I’m gonna continue to transfer out all my cases!!!

YES!

If you couldn’t tell I’m trying to expidite the transfer process. Muahahaha

So yay me. My first job after Rutgers and I’m barely keeping my head above water. I need a vacation. A real one…with my girls, or someone fun. Applications are being accepted just email them or hit comment. Hahaha

Y’all have a good one. Ima celebrate my ass off today.

No more dairy for breakfast

Filed under: Training — Eileen Joy @ 5:03 pm

This morning I had an Activia w/ peaches…and all morning I felt something was wrong.

Five pt something miles later and I could not run. The tummy was rumbling all kinds of crazy while running up my last hill.

This would have been my first 12 mile training run…guess I have to try it again next week.

So no more dairy pre run. Perhaps almond butter on toast, that sounds really good.

  • I forgot my Garmin for Sunday. I hate when I do that… So as a backup I bought a running log/pace keeper app for the 3g. Hope it works. #

First time to reach 10 miles in a long time…

Filed under: Training — Eileen Joy @ 6:01 pm

So today Coach suggested we write about our trainings in a journal. This has always been my journal…so here we go.

FINALLY we get the group to run 10 miles! No more we have to stay with 4 or 6 miles. It was the consensus that if we continue on this track we will so NOT be ready for the Nike Women’s Half…and for some of us Rock n Roll SJ.

I’m just happy we did the mileage. Some of the 11:00 min pace group joined us, so midpoint I started pulling a little faster (it helped it was downhill too). I felt good ’cause I was able to speed up on an incline, which, was always a problem for me. So I must be doing a good job with training and boot camp.

So there it is. Finally I’m breaking miles and I’m getting stronger on the hills. I’m so loving this. Oh, and I’m getting slimmer! YAY!

I have Alameda tomorrow, so wish me luck and keep good thoughts for me in the morning.

Hope all is well!

The Race List for 08/09

Filed under: Training — Eileen Joy @ 8:40 pm

So far I only have 3 races for this coming year.

1. San Jose Rock & Roll Half - 10/5/08
2. Nike Women’s Half - 10/19/08
3. Los Angeles Marathon - 03/01/09

This year I will redeem myself. I will run strong and fast. We will train hard for the full and we will get up to 22 by February at the latest.

I also have to watch my diet. I’d be so fast if I continue to drop the weight.

The goal is to finish a half in 2:15 or less and the full in 5:30 or less. Ima do it, or come as close as I possibly can.

9:33/29:00

Filed under: Day to Day, Events, Training — Eileen Joy @ 6:50 am

I know I haven’t written much lately, but I finally broke 30!!! At this latest 5K, the San Jose LiveStrong Challenge 2008 I broke my usual 30 min time and cut off 1:33! I averaged 9:33 per mile with a total time of 29:00. I’m still waiting for the official time since I’m just basing this off my lovely Garmin (which is what I usually do).

Oh! I’m also a pacer for Nike at Club Run S.F. in Danville!! Yay! So if ya’ll are ever in Danville and wanna run with the crew, I’ll be with the 11:00 and 11:30 pace group. Straddling Karen calls it. hahahha

Okies, till next time! Gotta get ready for training. Can you believe I worked 13 hours yesterday just so I could get all my crap done before CORE? I hate CORE!! Oh and it’s been almost a year that I’ve been working at CPS! So much has happened and I haven’t written. I promise I’ll catch you up soon…for those who still read this. hahahhah

Till then, I bid you adieu. *mwah*
