1.5 on treadmill, I had a doctors appointment for recheck on my mono so that was all i had time for.  My doctor was impressed with my improvment and my weight loss.    

When I got home I  finished planting my spring garden. Then i rode the twins and baby up and down the street a couple of time in the bike trailer, then i rode the exercise bike for 30 minutes.

I ran my first 3.10 miles in 30 .19  then I finished with 40:00.

right there at the end my knee's just started to hurt right below my knee cap. It was a pain I have not felt before. I could hardly stand on my left leg.  I stretched and then went and worked my abs. I did a few leg weights that i could kind of stretch and bend my knee's.

I did 20 min's on the arc trainer. 

I am now icing my knee's, they feel much better but that kind of scared me.

 

I AM LOVING THIS WARM WEATHER!

My knee's felt better today but I slowed down my run a bit. I finished in 42:00.   My right knee hurt when I was done but not at all while I ran.  The pain went away faster today than it did yesterday.  Uhgh the fans were not on in the room I was running in it was so hot and stuffy. 

I used Jossie's  suggestion last night and rolled my legs with a rolling pin.  O it felt so good! I had my husband roll the back of my legs as well.  (Thanks Jossie)

I worked my abs and did a few arm weights, then I rode the bike for 20 minutes. My knee popped a couple of times but felt fine on the bike.

Got up and made it to the gym by 6am.  My run was slow and very dragging but I am not use to working out at that time, I think I was still asleep.  

I lifted a few leg weights and worked my abs.  I think at that point I was awake because I felt like I could run again, but got on the bike for 35 minutes.  

I am so use to a diffrent gym time that I feel like I should go again. I feel like I have not worked out today. I might go walk with my daughter later if she feels up to it.

I ran 3.10 miles in 29.48 (New PR).    Then I walked a little bit.

I felt really good and was planning on doing 5 miles today and thought I could have a pr on my time again but I had an issue and had to get off the treadmil.

I just had got on the bike and had my first mile out of the way and the day care came and got me because my baby was poopy.  O he had it all over his pants on his socks. Basially by the time I had him cleaned up he only had on a shirt and I diaper so I had to come home.

I am going to try to get in at least a few more miles later.

I did 40 minutes on the bike and then I walked up hill on the treadmill 2 more miles.  I feel really good. (thats why i walked instead of ran, I didn't want to stiffen up again)

I was blessed enough to get tickets to attend the young womens confrence at the confrence center tonight. This was the first time I had been inside the new building. It was so amazing to me.   I  had two tickets so had my mom come with me. We got there early so we sat and watched as the seats filled to the maximum compasity of 21,000 people.

It was amazing look around and see a building that big full of just young women and there mothers and leaders. So many women gathered so silent and still to hear the messages prepared for that evening. 

My mom and I were having a conversation and to the sounds around us so was every other women in the building but the second the prophet walked out it went to complete silence everyone stood to honor him. There for the minute it took him to walk to his seat you could have heard a pin drop.   It remained very silent for the rest of the session. The talks were wonderful and enlightening. The choir was one of just the young women. It was like listening to a choir of angels. I could listen to the young women sing all day. 

It was an awsome evening for both my mom and myself.
