I thought I would go out to the Oval for a speed workout since it is lighter and somewhat warmer than it is outside.  I drove out there to find that the oval is closed for the entire week.  Grrr.  I hate when my plans get ruined.  I drove home, and found I had no motivation to run a workout outside.  So, I just went for a run.  It might have been a good idea since my first 4 miles were pretty slow.  Muscles take some time to warm up when it is 30 degrees.  

I dropped my i-pod and cracked the screen.  Grrr.  (I'm doing a lot of growling this morning!)

 

Later AM:  I went to take the Total Body Conditioning class taught by my friend Kim.  Kim is a 2:52 marathoner and gears all of her strength classes towards runners.  Unfortunately, 25 minutes into class Myles had a freak out and I had to leave.  Grrr #3!  I made it through dead lifts, shoulders, and bench press before I had to go.  I have a goal to get stronger, and hopefully run faster as a result. Teething babies don't care about running goals.

It's been a crazy last couple of days.  Myles got into toilet cleaner and developed a large third degree chemical burn on his little arm.  We spent the day at the pediatrician's office, followed by the burn unit at the University of Utah.  Between that and sleepless nights up with the baby, there has been little time for running.  I'm sure I could have fit it in if I really focused on it.  However, my mind and heart hasn't been in it the last couple of days.  

I did a fartlek workout this morning.  I warmed up two miles and then ran 7 x 3 minutes on/off.  I had originally planned 8-10, but kept having dizzy spells.  I must not have eaten enough before running this morning.  I cooled down until I hit eight.  This week is a bit messed up.  Sigh.
