I got on the treadmill today with the idea that slower and longer would be better than faster and less distance.  So I did the 3 miles in 35 minutes and then walked the last bit.   My knee did not hurt as much as it did yesterday when I ran.    I could have probley even went another mile but I have had a horriable headache all day.  I was ready to cancelle my gym appointment and it was to late to cancelle without being charged anyways, so I went.     I got in a pretty good workout despite my head.  Although it is much worse now.  (I think it is all for tension in my neck and shoulders)

Life is much harder when my husband is gone. (at least at bed time) I swear all my kids loose there hearing everytime he leaves, and it always seems to improve when he returns.  

I did a few abs and then I rode the bike for 30 minutes.

I've noticed plenty of times when my kids ears are there just for decoration. They hate it when I tell them that. Good luck handling it alone. Hopefully it's not for long! Way to work out anyway! It's very important for mommy to take care of herself, not just the kids!
