RHR 47

Very stressful day at work and I needed to destress afterwards.

30 minutes aerobic training on the Wii Fit. (Included 15 minutes running in place)

Took a break and vacuumed the house.

30 minutes strength training on the Wii Fit.

Took another break to mop all the other floors and eat dinner.

1.7 miles running with the dog, then dropped her off and finished up for a total of 4.6 miles. Achilles loosened up after the initial run.

Stretching

Came up with a good blog post (in my opinion) while running. Will post it after my bath when icing my ankle and knee.

I had great plans to get a run in yesterday, but ended up working 16 hours and when the choice came down to running vs eating and sleeping - I chose the latter.

Got off early from the temple tonight because a boy threw up in the font and they had to close the baptistry down.  Took the dog out for a 1.7 mile run. Dropped her off, took a potty break, then finished up for a total of 5.3 miles.

Now I need to wind down and it is 10 p.m.  Good thing I am off tomorrow for my son's wisdom teeth removal.

Twilight wanted to go for a run with me this morning, so we did 3 miles and back. She didn't think ahead that running in this new snow would mean a bath when we got back.  She was dragging at the end of the run, but is not running around like crazy and growling trying to get her doggy smell back to how she likes it.

Tried to keep my heart rate between 75-80%, but gave up part way home because I couldn't run slow enough to do so (what an experience).  I think it is a combination of the crappy air and my last run being only 10 hours ago.
