Stronger, Tougher, Faster, Smaller

I know it's not a lot but I never run after a grave, but I had to work again tonight so my logic was get up and run a little and hopefully wake up out of my sleep deprived stupor.  I did one mile and at a good pace for me 11:30, I was working hard but not overdoing it.  I think it worked I am doing okay!

It was interrupted though to stop sword fights and such.

First I don't normally sleep that much but all I got the day before was a 1hr nap and a 2hr nap after working my 12hr grave. Needless to say I was too tired to move, so no exercise. But today I did better! I tried to leave my husband with 5 kids (3 extras from the neighbors)to go and do my run. I knew he would let me if I was going for a run. I averaged just over 13min/mile not too bad for starting but had to take a break at 1 mile to stretch my shins, they were getting tight. Since I ran outside I had no sword fights and no toys being chucked under my feet on the treadmill(apparently that's really fun to watch as stuff comes flying off the back) Just ask my two year old. Plus I couldn't help but sing out loud to P!nk, u and ur hand. "I'm not hear for your entertainment, you don't really want to mess with me tonight!"

Going for consistency today.  We are going to be in the car quite a bit today so I knew if I was going to do anything I had to get up and do it.  Did you know I haven't been up before 8am in who knows how long?  I did one mile, first half was a 12m place while I kept bumping up for the second and finished in 11:29.  Woohoo.  Now I just need to get down to a consistent 10 min pace, it will come in time and with the weight loss.

Did my first spin class for an hour.  Did you know that they don't have airconditioning in gyms in small town California.  We had fans but no a/c it was probably upper 80's in there.  Yuck, I'm not used to that yet since it's still so cold in Utah.  We had a great time and it was taught by my sister in law.   Kicked my butt, literaly, my bum was so sore from the seat.
