Here we go again~

Stayed inside this morning due to this lovely snow!!  Heidi W came over and we did 45 minutes of cardio (P90X) followed up by Ab ripper X for about 12 minutes.  It was a good workout and nice to stay inside. 

Oh man, I hit a major milestone tonight.....are you ready.................I ran on the treadmill!! I know, I know, I am sure you are impressed.  I knew this night was coming but I didn't expect it to come so soon.  I mean, it's only been 2 years since I have done so :).  Further, it's been a lifetime since I ran on a treadmill and actually enjoyed it!  Tonight I got home after a very stressful day at work, running errands and the RS party and knew that I wanted to try and run but also, assumed I would be very tired, since I usually am at 9:30. However, I put on my new racing flats (thanks to Steve at St. George Running Center's sale) and headed down stairs. I had planned on only going 3-4 miles or so but at mile 3, I felt like I had just started.  My breathing felt great, legs felt strong, I was in heaven (this is a first since the marathon).  It felt like I was dreaming (you know how those running dreams go, when you run and run and run and don't get tired? It's heavenly).  Well, I decided to go 5 miles but still felt awesome, so I figured "why not just finish a 10K", so..I did.  If time had permitted, I would have gone farther, but I have to allow myself time to calm down before going to bed.  However, this is exciting for me because this may be something that I can do to get me through the winter (that apparently is going to be brutal given the amount of snow fall received over the past 2 days).  Anyway, I feel as if I am on cloud 9 and the only one I have to share it with is the FRB given my entire family is sound asleep now.  So, there is my exciting news.  I am off to shower and to get some sleep.  Night~

(Setting 7.0-7.4 on the treadmill which calculated out to be miles 1-2.5 8:49, 2.5-4 8:34. 5th mile at 8:20ish and the last mile at 7:53).  

I hour of yoga this morning with Heidi C.  It was her first time doing yoga so I hope she liked it.   I LOVE yoga!! It is a great way to start your day! 

Hoping to take another stab at the treadmill tonight for a little P.M. workout!!  Hope today goes better then yesterday! Crossin my fingers~

4 treadmill miles.  Not as glorious as the other night but.....miles none the less :) 

I am finding the treadmill awful handy on these cold running days! Tyler got up and ran outside but after giving me his report, I decided to stay in and just get some quick miles in on the tready.  I just ran 5 and then had to start with my Saturday chores.  Nice to get some miles in :)
