Running because I can!

So I went to the dentist today right before the gym.  I was ot thinking when I planned my day.  I had a filling in my very back bottom tooth. I was numb form my ear to the middle of my lip. It is 5.5 hours later and I am still slightly numb. 

I thought running was a bad idea seeing as I could not feel my face and I was afraid I might bite my toung off.  So I did the arc trainer for 30 minutes but I put it on resistance of 5 which goes up to 30 pound weights so my legs were tired. I spilt water down my mouth every time I drank any thing, so i went to the abs and weights. I worked my abs really hard and then I did some leg weights. 

I think next time I go to the dentist I am going to go for the no numbing. I have only ever had a couple of fillings and I don't remember it being that bad.    

My goal today was to get 3 miles done as fast as possiable because my baby will sleep for a couple of hours some days and 20 minutes others. My husband is out of town all week long and the gym can't get all my kids in at the day care at a good time today.

So I ran my three miles in 31.30. I was going to walk until Tallon woke up from his nap but I paused the treadmill to get the twins train out and when I got back on it would not start.

Just my luck! 

I have not slept well the last two nights and I think it caught up to me today. I got on the treadmill at the gym and relized I had put on my old running shoes. I thought I would give them a try anyways (they have no padding left in them.)  My legs were so tired I just wanted to go home.

I went and got on the elliptical and it was a mental talk the whole time just to stay on it. I made it to 20 minutes but it was a slow pace.  I did 1.65 miles on that.   I felt really weak when I got off so I sat on the floor and streched for a minute, then went and worked my abs.  I did one leg machine and two arm weight machines and then I got on the bike and went 5.36 miles in 30 minutes.  

I am glad I made it through the work out with out just stopping and comming home like my body so wanted to.
