Believe to Achieve

slept in. yup, just let the clock roll by 515am....but not without looking at it. Woke two times before finally getting out of bed at 720am. The last 20 minutes I just lied there thinking....didn't feel like working out but I work the next two days so I best be getting myself to the rec center. Drove the carpool to the elementary and junior high...BUSY. The kids in my car were complaining cause I dropped Amber and Brooke off in FRONT of the school instead of by the crosswalk. Too snowy to do the usual drop off and Brooke had her Science Fair Project in hand. I did some Indiana Jones moves and made it from the Elementary school to the Junior High in 6 minutes. My running comes in handy...I know all the routes. They weren't complaining when they saw how many cars we did make it in front of through my fast action driving skills and backstreet knowledge. The car lines were atrocious outside the school. Still made it to the rec center by 8:15.   Snow packed shoes I just stared into space for a few minutes.  Legs a little tight.   I did some squats on Monday (about 40 in a row) and now that effort was showing forth in delayed muscle soreness.  Decided to run a few laps....WELL a few laps turned into 31.5.  Basically five miles-- nice and easy...progression not on purpose but how it naturally played out...8:44, 8:06, 7:46, 7:43, 7:23.    That's 7:56 pace for 5 miles (39:44).  Thought spin was a 9am but turns out she does a core workout prior to spin...the class is at 930.  So I toughed it out and did this core class. OOOOOooooo baby....man alive is my core struggling.  Gettting there but really need some help for sure engaging several of my abdominals.  They refuse to work...I really think they enjoy just taking over the roll as FOOD cage keeper (intestines).  Survived and then died in Spin class.   I was so out of there at 20 minutes but hung on in this endurance spin class til the bitter end.  I didn't push it as hard as I usually do (some reason my ankle was hurting with the standing).  I really needed a rest too so I took it easier in spin.  Not sure if that is possible.  I still was dripping large sweat droplets.  Drove ever so slowly home and ate and showered.  Can't wait to get a diagnosis today.  He better have one!!!  Arghhhh!!!!!
