Lifting & abs in the comfort of my own home

4 miles. My dog wanted to go with me so I took her out to the desert. she did well even though she's pretty old. It was a fun run. I've been doing A LOT of thinking about college next year. And I still don't know what to do hahah

Also I'm ready for all my friends down here to get out of school so we can hang out 

I woke up & did some lower body calisthenics & core. The lifts I did really work your hips & quads, so to get them loose again I decided I'd go for a short run after. My sister, me, & my dog all went out the same out & back we did yesterday. Jessica was going 5, so when I turned around gabbie had some separation issues, but we got it all sorted out. Jess runs at a faster pace than me typically but running with her makes me realize that I can run at that pace just as easily (especially for only 3 miles). Today's been a great day already & it's only 1 o'clock. 

Later in the day more lifting, but upper body

The goal today was to quicken the pace. I ran to quail ridge & down it then up past the chevron & up green spring dr to my home. It was actually really tough for me. My legs are pretty sore from the exercises I did yesterday. The first about 3 miles I averaged about 8 min pace but the hill & the last mile altogether wasn't as good. This might not have been a step forward, but i did get out & run so whatever direction this step was, it wasn't backwards. Core afterwards. Then went & got water with josie & bayless! I love those 2 

More core work when we got back from dinner

No running because it's wayy too cold out there. Just lifting & core 

I went over the the rec center to lift with my mom & brother. Just upper body & abs. Then I ran 2 miles on the treadmill, just so I got in a run today. I was wearing my gym nikes rather than running shoes so I cannot track that mileage because there is not a shoe on here for them! Anyway, treadmill miles aren't as fun as I imagined them to be. It kinda sucked hahahahah but I didn't want to run outside because it was cold. Great day!!!!!

No running today, just a leg workout that brought me to my knees when I was going down my stairs. Definitely marking today as a success.
