Pics:
Saaaaay Cheeeeeeese!!!
Hey, check out our new TV!! That was a total surprise!! We love it!!
Kevin and I's feast was not this huge, but just about! How do you cook a Christmas dinner for 2? Every recipe I had was for like 12! Hahaha, we will be eating leftovers until Easter!!
On the left: Kevin, me, Jen my sis, and Jon her fiance. This was at the Indian Creek Christmas Dinner at Pappadeux's earlier this week!! What do you think, are Jen and I twins?? For all of you who know the answer already don't answer!! Hahaha!!
Check out the new tires!! I can't wait to test drive them!! Oh yeah, did I mention that these shoes were voted Runner's World Best Shoe of 2005? I knew these were my favorite for some reason!!
This was the surprise of the holiday!! I was totally sneaky and bought Kevin a new Paul Reed Smith Guitar. He was desperately in need of a new guitar, so I surprised him. His face was priceless when I presented him with it!!
It would not an occasion if I didn't torture my dog with some rediculious hat!! Christmas Eve fun!!
Merry Christmas everyone!!I should have done these first and then my journal entry. Oh well!!
Merry Christmas Y'all!!
I have had the most wonderful Christmas!! The only thing that might have topped it off was an incredible 10 mile run; however I did stick to my guns. No running or exercise until after Christmas. Well, here we are at 6:40pm (Tejas time) and I have not exercised...unless you count the walk Nikko and I went on. Now that Kevin and I have gorged ourselves and are enjoying a bit of Champagne and desert, I don't think I will do any running tonight!! Hahaha!! We have been so blessed this year!! Both of us are gainfully employed, have the most amazing group of friends, a loving extended family, a dog who will let us do just about anything to, and an incredible love for each other! What more could you ask for? I think the Champagne is making me ooooze sentiment. I should stop. Uhhh, no I shouldn't, isn't what Christmas is for??? Being all lovey and sentimental?? I think so!! And so on. I can't wait until tomorrow, I get to workout again!! I am healthy and ready to jump or plunge back into my workout program!! Oh yeah, here are some really great pics from this Christmas..some of them are actually from Thanksmas (Christmas at Thanksgiving in OK with my fam!!).

Twas the Night before Christmas
My own rendition of a timeless classic. Ahem:
Twas the night before Christmas, whan all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The Asics and Brooks were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there.
The runners were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of marathons danced in their heads.
And Kevin in his 'kerchief', and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I ran like a flash,
Tore open the curtains, it was a mad dash.
The Texas moon gave the road a glow
and lighted the way for Santa below.
When, what to my foggy eyes should appear,
Richard, Susan, and Control top lady running in a pack coming from the rear.
With a group so small and so quick,
I knew in a moment I must be unfit.
More rapid than eagles the pacers they came,
And they whistled and called me by name:
Onward Karrie, they yelled as they passed in a flurry,
As they rounded the curve, I knew they were in a hurry.
To the end of Waketon!! To the top of the hill!!
Now run faster, Run away, Run away All!!
As the dust that before the wild Tornado fly,
When we are met with an obstacle, we run toward the sky,
So up to Quail Run the pacers we flew,
With packs full of Gu, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the road
the pounding and slogging of each little toe.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around
Down the drive St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed in running gear from his head to his foot
and his clothes were all tarnished with sweat and soot;
A bundle of running toys he had flung on his back;
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes--how they twinkled!! His Garmin no less,
His cheeks like roses, he forgot sunblock I guess.
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
The endurox he had was too concentrated, you know!!
The stump of a powerbar he held tight in his teeth,
and the remaining chunks encircled his mouth like a wreath.
He had a chisled face and tight abs he bore,
that shook, when he laughed like waves on a shore.
He was a lean and muscular fit old elf,
and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
soon let me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
and filled all those Brooks, then turned with a jerk.
And tightening his laces on his shoe,
giving a nod and through the door he flew.
He ran to his group with such delight
And away they all ran like speed of light.
Left huffing and puffing,
I think did I eat too much stuffing?
I wonder could I be dreaming,
but my face was so cold and still beaming!
When it was over and I completed my chore;
my legs, they were so tire and so sore.
As I headed for bed,
my body felt so dead.
I quickly realize this is something never done before;
the control top lady, my competition no more.
But before my head hit the pillow,
I forgot to wave goodbye to Santa, that jolly old fellow.
As I reached to turn out the light,
I heard him exclaim, ere he sprinted out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night"
Merry Christmas everyone!!

Wheat Free waffles taste funny!!
Last night was my first night without any medicine and I woke up coughing??? Bleh!! Oh well, I am not feeling as well as yesterday, but not feeling bad either. I feel like I am recovering from a yucky virus. Guess what, I am!! Hahaha!! I have 3 tests today, rounding out the week with 7 whole tests!! Wow, what a big week!! I haven't had a week this busy since last March!! I am driving all the way across town today and testing the sickest and most uncooperative patients!! This is good for my soul, I just know it!! I am learning wonderful lessons, right???
Dr. Voodoo is going to have to start all the way over with my diet. I have sort of fallen off the wheat, dairy, and sugar free diet thing!! I had to cancel my appointment on Tuesday because of feeling so sick. I want to make it back up possibly next week when things are full swing again!!
All of my friends and clients have been so sad this week for a lack of workouts!! I feel awful, and want to join in, but I can't risk it. Not yet at least!! I have not trained anyone this week, I have cancelled every last one of them!! This is very un-Karrie-like!! I like to push through everything, sickness, fatigue, injury whatever!! I never cancel, but this week I did. I must say that I am totally enjoying the sleep!! I am starting back up again on Friday, but no running or workingout my self until after Christmas!! I need to find a training goal!! Which marathon or half marathon to run!! I desperately need a goal!! I will have to keep checking my calander and commit to something!!
M1: wheat free, glutten free waffle (1), butter, real maple syrup, 1 banana sliced
Weight check in: 160.5 (I just might make my goal of dropping below 160 before Christmas yet!!)

Ready to Conquer the World?
Oh yeah!! I am feeling so much better!! Poor Kevin, he's got the sinus stuff again!! I am going to do everything I can to keep from getting it back from him!! Good hand washing, clean sheets, Lysol and so on!! I am glad I am feeling better, I have 4 tests today!! Yipeee!! Considering my average has been 4 tests a month, this is a good thing!! I am not going to do any exercising though!! I don't want to risk it!! I will be healthy after Christmas!! You just wait and see!! I will be stronger than ever!! I am hungry to run and workout, but oddly enough, not for food!! How strange!!
M1: 1/4 cup oatmeal, butter, brown sugar, banana
M2: Protein shake, fruit cup
M3: Fiesta Chicken soup and giant goldfish (do not eat list)
M4: Nature's Valley Peanut Butter Granola Bar
M5: 3 Butterfly Fried Shrimp (This actually tasted really gross!!), handful of fries, a few bites of a salad, bread (one slice), and about 4 bites of Praline Cheesecake (this also actually tasted gross) What's wrong with me on those things, could it be I am actually changing my taste buds??? How strange!!

Rest is good!!
I am now in my 4th day of rest and doing a bit better!! My sinus infection turned into Bronchitis or Walking Pneumonia, I am not sure which. I had a really, really hard time breathing on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I cancelled all of my appointments all weekend long and so far everyone today. I am doing better today, I still think I will cancel my evening appointments for just one more day. I am not willing to risk relapsing again!! I don't want a hospital visit because I am too stubborn to rest. I will rest!! The more I move around, the more I cough, and that makes my chest hurt so I will not be moving around for a little bit longer!! Anyway, I miss everyone and can't wait until things get back to normal!! I still don't have any appetite, but that is okay with me!! Hahaha!! I have been eating just not as much!! Okay, now with the diet for today:
M1: 1/4 oatmeal measured dry, butter, brown sugar, banana
M2: 1 cup organic veggie soup, fruit salad, giant goldfish (I think these have flour in them)
M3: POS 2 shake
M4: Not sure yet, I will blog more later!!
Miss you all!! Blog on friends!!

So the Doc says:
I have to rest, no exercise, for 3 days! I have a severe Sinus Infection and Bronchial Spasms. (Personally, anything with Spasms in the title in it is quite scarey!!) Anyway, I have to take Antibiotics for 5 days and a cough syrup with codine in it to take at night until my nasty cough goes away!! Torture, no exercise, no running, no volleyball, nothing??? This will be torture. At least it is only for 3 days instead of longer. She threatened me with pnuemonia, the walking variety, if I chose to continue running with all of this sinus stuff going on!! I lightly made a joke and asked if running pnuemonia would be better than walking pnuemonia. Hahahaha, too bad my doc didn't think it was very funny. She just said with her European accent: Karrie, you must get some rest or you will really end up being very sick and have to stop running for longer. I grudgingly agreed, after feeling like an elephant is sitting on my chest all day. I should start to feel better by Sunday and for sure by Monday!! Richard, I didn't ask if I could lift. I will have to see how I am feeling. Have fun running this weekend!! I miss you guys!!!
I am from Norman, Ok. I graduated in 96 from Norman High school. I am not from around here although I sometimes play it off like I am. I am a true Sooner at heart!!
Breakfast: Oatmeal, with butter and Brown Sugar Splenda
Lunch: Bowl of chicken Tortilla Soup, corn bread, and a brownie
Dinner: bowl of chili
Weight check in: 161.5
Flow.

Haha, I got tagged!!
I like this tag better than the other one where you have to back into the archives and so on. So here we go:
1) I met my sexy husband in a dance club in Deep Ellum (back when it was safer to go there). We chased each other around the dance club. I vowed never to date anyone I had met in a dance club, and then ended up marrying him. Who knew you could actually find a great person in a club. We will be married for 3 years on Jan. 25th.
2) I played volleyball for Texas Christian University for one year before leaving the program to work. You see, TCU is an incredibly expensive place to learn. I was merely a walk on and had no financial help. I had to work!! Yikes!!
3) My work ethic gets me into serious health trouble. I had to miss out on anything whether it is work or play related so I don't. Being sick is not an option!! I am pretty sick now and have cancelled all of my appointments today and going to the doctor!! I will let you more after I go.
4) I would love to take dance lessons some day. All forms of dance interest me, belly, ballroom, country western (even though, I know some already), hip hop, whatever! I love to move around and I love music so why not!!
5) Training for a marathon is more thrilling to me than the actual marathon itself. I love to go on long runs where I know the route and what to expect around every turn. I love looking at the sun rise and hearing nothing if I want or hearing just my music.
So there you go!! I will tag cliff, massage man running, mia, flatman, and mike. Welcome mike!! I have been so busy, so I am not sure if you all have been tagged already or not!!

Back on the Track again!!
This morning I fought with myself over whether or not to go to the track with the Plano group. After much contemplation, I decided that I should go. So I did. I did 6 x 800's ranging in time from 3:54-4:03. There were not very many people there, but that didn't matter much. I just wanted to run and get it over with. I feel good about what I accomplished today. I do think I might be relapsing with the whole cold thing, though. How long does this last?? I have sore throat, fatigue, congestion, and a headache. This is total torture!!
M1: EAS Protein shake, and an apple
M2: 1/2 cup Oatmeal (measured dry), butter, brown sugar
M3: Bowl of tomato soup, 2 cookies (this is of course on the do not eat list)
M4: Snickers (it just keeps getting worse!! this is what happens when I am sick, I have no control or discipline!!)
M5: Veggetable soup with added chicken, 2 Corn muffins (made with out flour, not that it means much since I had sugar and flour in the cookies earlier!!)
Susan my pics look great!! My profile is funny!! I have this funny expression on my face!! Heehee!! Bootcamp tommorrow???

The story
I actually ran the Chicago Marathon in 5:44, not 3:40. That's the joke. I had a really rough race and was incredibly disappointed at my results so to get a certificate in the mail with a great finishing time on it was hysterical!! The officials of the LaSalle Bank Marathon kindly sent me an email informing me that there was an error on my certificate. I thought, well no kidding. Shouldn't we get the true results that we really think that we deserve?? I trained hard enough to do better than 5:44, so why shouldn't I get a cert with a better time?? Hahahahha!!!

Food and Workout Log
This morning a few of us met for Buttcamp. Susan informed me that she almost brought a camara to share photos with all of you bloggers out there. She told me that Buttcamp is famous now. Hahahaha!! I am sooooo happy that my class is famous. Heehee!! It was good this morning, in fact it was almost a bit easy. It is just about time to change it up again!!! I wonder what we will do then?? How creative can I get?
I followed Buttcamp with a 3 mile run on the treadmill (30minutes).
M1 (4:30) Glucerna Protein Shake
M2 (7:30) 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, 3 pc. bacon (I can hear you now, Dr. P, it is not good for me!!), 1 green apple, Pumpkin dip, 1 piece of spelt toast with pumpkin spread on it, and a chi tea (with soy milk of course)
M3 (1:00) Chicken Sandwich (no bun, so I guess that it is just chicken), tater tots, Rootbeer with Vanilla
M4 (6:15) Protein shake, banana
M5 (8:45) chicken nuggets and fries (This is awful, but I was ravished after volleyball practice)

Feeling Guilty!!
So I have not run in like 3 or 4 days, eaten too much fudge and am unmotivated to do anything including blogging!! I feel lazy and lethargic!! I get this way about this time of year when everything gets too overwhelming to acknowlege. I choose to sleep through it instead of getting anything done. Flylady, running, general working out, nothing is getting done!! Thank you Susan for whipping me back into shape!!
I am unsure about 50 next week!! I do need to up my mileage soon though!!I think this might be more realistic for me:
Monday: Weights with Richard and 3-5 miles
Tuesday: Buttcamp (I am testing that afternoon, extra running is out!!)
Wednesday: I need to get back to track workouts (this is what made me soooo fast!!) 6 x 800's
Thursday: Bootcamp (I am testing again this afternoon, extra running is out!!)
Friday: 5-7 miles
Saturday: light mileage 3-5
Sunday: 15 with you guys!!
Total: 30-35miles
Food today:
Breakfast: 1 egg, 1 egg white, 3 pieces of bacon, 1 apple, Creamy maple pumpkin fruit dip
Lunch: Creamy Tomato Soup (homemade--not even a little bit healthy, I stole the recipe from La Madeline)
Snack: Fudge
Dinner: 2 corn dogs cooked in the oven
Snack: Protein Shake
When I am running, my food intake is stellar. When I am not running I think I just eat everything in sight!! I have had so much fudge today that I have the sugar jitters!! Yikes!! Not good!! I will get back on the wagon soon!! My weight can't handle this much junk!!

I love Buttcamp!!
Buttcamp was really good this morning!! We all worked really hard!! Dianne, Candi, and Susan we missed you!! Come back on Thursday!! I have become a human garbage disposal!! Yesterday I did not blog for I was embarrassed about what all I ate!! Today is better, but still bad!!
Dr. P my shoulder is killing me!! I think it is bicep tendonitis but I am not sure!! I have old coach's shoulder syndrome!! hahahaha!!
I want to run today, but not sure when!! I am loving being lazy!! I am not sure I want to run tomorrow morning, it is going to be incredibly cold and running on a track just doesn't sound appealing!!
Preworkout: Protein shake
Breakfast: 2 egg whites, 1 egg, an apple, 3 pieces of bacon (Dr. P, you don't have to explain, I know why it is bad!!)
Snack: Wheat and dairy free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (too many of them, and I know the sugar is a problem!!)
Lunch: Bean soup, and white corn tortilla chips
Dinner: Corn Dogs (I think. Kevin chose this. I know, I know totally shameful diet these days!!)
Susan, I have volleyball tournaments on the same weekends as Houston, Austin and Cowtown. I hear ya, argggg!! I am thinking Surfside on Feb. 11th.

On the road again!!
Our Sunday morning run started something like this: Richard walks up to me and says I should really get a jacket with sleeves. All I have is this fleece vest with a shirt under it. I just looked at him and said, this isn't a running jacket it is just an old windbreaker. I like it because it has pockets. (Although I forgot to zip them and lost my Power Gel, oh well. I didn't need it anyway). Susan comes out and says, do you think I need another layer over my tights. If I had been fully awake, I might have laughed at us. I love cold weather. I even enjoy a cold weather run, but it was really COLD!! We, Texans, are not accustomed to this kind of cold. It seems that we are not accustomed to any kind of weather: hot or cold. Heehee!! I had mentioned to Richard during our first mile that today was either going to be a really good run or a really bad one!! I kept up with those two running rockstars for the first 5 miles (47minutes) and then gave into my fatigue and started walking. Richard offered to walk with me and I told him to go on, that I was okay to walk on my own. I did sort of feel bad asking them to walk for a bit and then giving up just a few minutes later. I think I slowed them down by 10 minutes or so while I was trying to catch my breath and ignore my legs. Thanks guys for waiting for me. Sorry if I slowed you down. I know yall like to take shorter breaks!! I walked and ran a bit more and then a little bit more until I saw Richard driving up to me. I only had about 1/2 mile left. He was going to take me back to my car, but I insisted on continuing on. I knew I could do it and I did not want to quit under any circumstances. Giving up never crossed my mind. This was a new thing for me. A few months ago, I would have gotten angry that I could not keep up and just walked my cold butt back to the car. Today was different. I thought for a split second around mile 7 that I would and could just walk back. It would have been okay since I have not really run in 2 weeks. I've been sick right!!?? No!!!!! Not today. Today I wanted to feel really really positive about what I am trying to accomplish. Finishing time 1:46. Those are 10:30's baby!! Hahaha!!
What am I trying to accomplish?? I don't know yet. I want to complete 2 marathons this spring and lighten the load during the early Summer months. Which ones?? Not sure. Perhaps going back to OKC and maybe one on Feb. I am coaching 2 teams this year and more weekends are filled with volleyball tournaments than are not. I am going to have to get creative with my training schedule. I have one, I was going to share it with Susan but I have not really been following it so I did not share it. I need to devise a plan I can do. Susan want to work on it together??
Great run you guys!! I feel tired and achey. My thighs are screaming!! Dr. P did you do this when you were working with my TFL???
Preworkout: Soy protein powder and water with Glutamine mixed in (this tasted nasty!!)
Breakfast: 1/2 cup measured dry oatmeal, Parkay butter, Brown sugar, banana
Snack: Fresh unsweetened apple juice (I think a cup)
Lunch: Sweet potato baked, butter spray, cinnamon, and brown sugar, fresh sliced turkey meat (3-4oz)
Dinner: Not sure yet.
Weight check in: 164.5

Promised Pics from the game!!
This is Texas Stadium. The next time I will get the opportunity to go to a NFL game in Dallas we will have to go to the new stadium across town in Arlington. It hasn't been built yet, but I don't go to many games either!! We got there really early to get good parking, even though we had a pass that allowed us to park close to the stadium!!
Heehee, this is my husband cooking *man food*. Doesn't he look *manly* grilling on this pint size grill!! Hahahahaha!!! I had turkey and avacado for lunch that day. He made me carry my own cooler with my *chick food* in it. Hahaha!! Oh well!!
On the left is Kevin's dad and far right is my dad. What do you think, do I look like my dad??
I like butts!! Even better, butts in football pants!! Hahahahaha!! We were actually sitting this close!!
Go Cowboys!! Yay, we had a ton of fun!! Maybe we can go again sometime!! My dad was beaming all weekend long!! None of us had ever been to a NFL game!! At times, I think John Maddon may have helped me with what was going on during the game!! One bonus, I could see the ball, so I didn't get lost in the play fakes and so on!! :) What a girl thing to say!!:)
