catherine's running efforts

For the first mile and a half I was pretty bummed about post-baby stuff that I've talked about a bunch already on this blog, but then I decided to suck it up (at least until the next time I get bummed). I figured that I'm doing what I can, and beyond that I should just focus on reaching my goals. Some things I have control over, and some things I don't. And some things I have control over but I psych myself out about them, but that's another story. 

As I was nearing 5 miles I was having a good time so I thought about continuing to run until I didn't feel like running anymore, but then I thought that I'd probably be more likely to be consistent through the week if I kept it to 5. Afterward I told my core who's boss and did 60 hanging leg tucks and 40 crunches on the incline.

There are few things that motivate me more than watching Biggest Loser. Also, I think I've said this before, but I love going to the gym because I see people I'd like to be like and people I never want to be like, and watching everyone around me helps me want to keep going until I get to where I want to be. 

Also 40 leg tucks. 

Two miles in between getting home from school and my online class meeting. Really I wanted 3 today so I thought about going outside for a mile after Eric came home, but it's way cold and dark and stuff. And it doesn't seem worth it to drive back to the gym for just a mile. Even though some days that's all I do anyway.

Elliott has funny bald spots.

At the gym on University in Orem because it was late (our gym closes at 7:00 on Saturdays) and because I was curious about the new treadmills Running After Babies had blogged about. It's nice that there are new treadmills. I didn't try any of the incline options, but Eric's super excited about the +30.
