This morning Elijah and I did a five-mile run. We finished in 48:19. I feel like it's been a long time since I've had a really great run where I felt like I was very fast and feeling really good. I think I'm just in a weird funk since I was out of town for so long. I hope it gets better before the Marathon!
Anyway, this afternoon I had planned to get to the gym for a HIIT on the treadmill, but I was late getting out of my piano lessons, so I ended up just having enough time to do a mile before Zumba class. It took me 9:10 to run the mile. Then I went straight to an hour of Zumba. I felt pretty good for the first half of class, but then I must have run out of fuel, because I was just dragging the last half. I quit 5 minutes early and downed a Zone bar, then went to an hour of yoga. Yoga actually felt pretty good. I really needed the stretch!
I've been trying to keep my eating really clean since Sunday, because my four weeks of wild abandon with my meals has cost me ten pounds. Ben has been making fun of my extra love. But I was down two pounds this morning, so I think if I just eat properly, it will be gone within the next week or so. I do feel so much better when I eat what I'm supposed to! It's nice to look good, too. :D |
