Running because I can!

I had my running clothes on and was just getting ready to get on the treadmill when my sister called me. We rarely see each other and she wanted me to come over and play rock band with her. (playstation game) and since the kids were here and driving me crazy, I thought why not.

I played the guitar for about 2.5 hours straight. So I guess the extent of my exercise was I was standing and my fingers and forearms were working. We had alot of fun. It was a good day.  I did not get home until 7:30 and I had to feed my kids and get them to bed. It was 9:00 by the time that happened and I decided with my sleeping problems running right before bed was not going to help. (That and my husband is gone for the week).     

Today my goal was to run 40 minutes without walking. I ran the first 3 miles in 32 minutes and finished the last .80 in 8 minutes.  I thought I should just go to 4 miles but my hip really started to hurt and still dose. It feels like it needs to pop but if I rotate it and try to pop it it feels like it will pop right out of socket.

I worked my abs. Then I rode the bike for 30 minutes.    

With my husband beingout of town and all my kids getting sick I am having a hard time getting in my workouts. Last night I resorted to my big exercise ball. My baby would not let me out of his sight and would not sleep unless I was right there next to him.

My husband got home today! I didn't make it to the gym until 7:30 pm but I made it. I was so tired. I really didn't want to go but so far this week has been sucky so I mad myself go.  

My goal at one point was just to make the first mile and after the second mile I could only go one more half. My legs felt really tight afterwards. I got on the bike and my goal was 4 miles which I finished in 22 minutes.    

I ran 4 miles without walking in 42 minutes today.  The first mile always seems like the hardest.   Then I walked .25 .   I feel good although very tired I can tell it is time for my shot again.

I worked my abs (Which so far no results in that area.)  Then I did a leg machine for my inner thighs.

I stretched longer today after my run so I only had 22 minutes left so I got on the bike and finished out my time going 4.20 miles. i was so sweaty I felt dumb walking over to get my jacket on.  For some reason it felt like people were staring at me. (Little self esteem issue)
