Recovery run + core conditioning.

6:47 am, 36°F, 54% humidity, calm.

My kids (just the middle two because the oldest and youngest don't have to do it) had CSAP (statewide standardized testing) yesterday and today. They also have it next Tuesday and Wednesday. That means no seminary on these days. I tend to lose my motivation to get up early when there's no seminary. This morning I got up at 4:45 and made a lunch for my husband because I neglected to do it last night, but then I went back to bed until almost 6:30. As a result, I had to do my workout today in fits and starts. I had promised the son I usually drive to seminary a drive to school. So I did 3 miles with shoes, then I got breakfast for my daughter and drove my son to school. Then I changed into my VFFs and did two more miles, then got my daughter off to school and then did the core conditioning. My oldest son is still home and asleep because he doesn't have to be to school until noon.

AP: 9:55. Splits: 10:09, 9:36, 9:41, 10:13, 9:55.

You're dedicated to keep going back for more with all of your interruptions.

You went a litle further on the VFF's today, did you have any problems?

I've been working on that cue of navel to spine, and I've found that when I do that cue, the cue for this week just kind of comes naturally. How is it working for you?

From Metcalf Running on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 11:50:28 from 207.225.192.66

Nice workout...even with all the interuptions, how are the VFF's doing?

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 11:53:48 from 24.8.167.243

No problems with the VFFs. I've been doing a little more than a mile twice/week for the last several weeks, so I decided it was time to bump it up. I'll do 2 miles twice/week for a few weeks and then bump it up to 3 miles at a time.

This weeks cue is going pretty well, except I found it harder to do today since I was running so slowly.

You're awesome for getting back out there. It's hard to do start and stop running for sure.

Good running this week. You seemed a little down about yesterday's run, but your splits were good. Were you trying to get into your steady state pace yesterday?

From RAD on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 15:04:19 from 67.172.229.125

Great job on the broken recovery run. You'll be marathoning in those VFF's soon!

From JD on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 15:55:47 from 70.96.78.157

You do more before 7 AM than most. Good recovery run.

From Toby on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 16:06:29 from 216.194.124.36

What a wife you are to get up and make a lunch! Wife of the year! Nice recovery!

From auntieem on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 18:13:02 from 67.182.146.94

NIce recovery miles; I'm impressed with your speedy adaptation to the VFFs. Now that my foot is better, I did my CD at the track baretoed! Felt great.

From Bonnie on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 18:47:06 from 128.196.228.134

From Nan Kennard on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 18:58:06 from 174.51.250.151

Dont you love it when you spend all morning in workout clothes? Glad you got it all in!

From Michelle on Thu, Mar 04, 2010 at 10:04:50 from 174.29.65.50

Good job juggling all your responsibilities! You are doing great at slowly increasing VFF miles.
