Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Slow and easy miles....I keep trying to tell myself this is okay.

The last week has been rough.  I woke up last Tuesday and felt like I had been hit by a bus.  My hips were extremely fatigued and sore and I was pretty sure I was getting sick....not sick but the aching has continued.  Hips and sacral area are so tired and sore and my calves are starting to feel the same way.   I am not sure what is going on other than not enough hours in the day to get everything done. 

The plan is for lots of easy miles, trying to eat better and hopefully feeling better. 

6 miles on the hotel treadmill at 4:00 am.   I am in SF for work and have an early flight.  Completely shocked at how busy the fitness center was for the hour I was running.   They have just remodeled and it is by far the nicest hotel treadmill I have used.  We just need to teach them about air conditioning.

Avg Pace: 9:00 

It is freezing here in Texas and I have become a total wimp. Today's temp was 25 degrees and with a wind chill it felt like 13 - according to the news. I will claim it felt colder. I chose to avoid the 20 mph winds and headed to the YMCA. 9 miles on the treadmill.....3 mile warm up, 3 miles of 1 min on/1 min off - On was at 7:00 min pace and off was at 9:15 min pace, and then a 3 mile cool down.   A Zumba class was starting right as I was finishing, so I attempted.... my second attempt - previous was a year ago.   It is fun, but I have no rhythm, I will probably go back though because I can take my girls.   Too bad I couldn't stay for body pump, but Jay is out of town and there is too much to do.   

Spent the afternoon evening at volleyball and then dinner at Costa Vida and a Chick FilA shake.  It was delicious but I will pay for it later.   There is only one Costa Vida in Texas and it is about 45 min away, but we were somewhat close with volleyball and I will use any excuse I can to go eat there.
