I'm not crazy...I'm just bored!!

Slept the weekend away...well, Sunday anyway! Nap after nap and doing nothing - too bad I ate like crazy! I was thinking I should change my blog title to "I'm not hungry...I'm just bored" :) 

Went to step class this morning and it was a good one! At one point I looked down at my bench and there were like 4 or 5 sweat drops all over :) It certainly kept me moving!

I wanted to run a bit; however, I wanted to read and stay OFF the TM as well (shins are acting up again - dang tight calves!). So, I went to the alley behind the gym and did our .2 loop 5X with a neighbor to get a mile in. Easy pace, I'd say under a 10mm, but not a 9mm.

Then I did the elliptical for 20 min while I read my book - it's due Wednesday, I've GOT to get it read! I think it was 1 mile @ L6.

Then I grabbed Nathan from daycare and ran the alley loop a few more times to get 2 miles in. He had fun playing on the grass and watering the trees with my water bottle :) Again, a good 9:30mm or so pace - no garmin, just miles.

I feel good after Ogden - yesterday I didn't, I was tired and so was my body! Today though I feel good. I even came home and hit the yard work. Tomatoes & peppers planted (again), weeds all pulled/killed, planters out front planted and some plants my mom brought me from her yard planted as well. Now to tackle the INSIDE house work....

Tired of sleeping in and having to run my .2 loop at the gym! So...I got up in time to do 4 easy miles around the 'hood this morning. Oh was it beautiful and worth it! Perfect l/s shirt running weather with a running skirt, and the sun was shinning bright and warm, aaahhh - can't ask for more!

Did a loop that takes me on the 'hill of death' first, which is always hard - but then is flat for a bit and then winds back down the 'hood. I like the 2nd half :) I got home and felt like I wanted to do a bit more, so I stayed close to home, but finished up the last 1.75 just up and around the school (about 1/2 of the hill of death again - but broken up). I felt SO good that last couple miles I really could've just kept running!!

AP: 8:55 splits: 10:01 (wow, a lot lower than expected for hill of death), 8:57, 8:53, 8:36, 8:59 (back up the hill of death),   8:02 (nice downhill...wow SO close to a sub 8!!).

Now I'm off to boot camp at the gym and probably some elliptical time reading until I have to go to the school and read with Kindergartners. Then I get to fold laundry, dust and mop floors...hmmm, maybe I'll go run again :)

**I added .5 to my mileage, because our teacher had us out running the .2 loop again *sigh* I wake up to avoid it, but then have to deal with it anyway! Then we did 3 min of running ladders, so between the loops and ladders, I'm giving myself an extra .5!**

blah blah blah run today! Yesterday I felt so good, was feeling good in my stride and today was more of a shuffle run the whole time. I might run tomorrow, but no matter WHAT I do, I will be sleeping in!!!

'New' 7 mile loop, out past the new rec center and home...so my favorite hill of death is 1.5 miles of my run, at the end! I do feel good to have it done, and that was the only thing that got me out this morning "you know you'll feel good when it's done!" Shuffle or not, I'm glad I did it...and can still do it!

AP: 9:47 splits: 9:17, 9:07, 9:23, 9:58 (flat and a bit up hill), 10:10 (start of the hill), 10:37 (this FULL mile is the constant uphill!), 9:58 (finish the uphill and flat home).

Now I'm off to yoga and bike/reading time...oh, and as a side note I SWEAR my belly grew 3 sizes overnight! I feel HUGE this morning!!

*8 miles on the bike in 40 minutes - nice and slow on L1. New book started...still not sure how much I'm going to like it*

Fell asleep watching TV last night, my husband was flabbergasted when I woke up at 8AM STILL tired. After going to the gym and waking up I feel better now...but I was tired!

Didn't run today, I'd contemplated it, but decided to give my body a bit of a break. I don't think I'll be up for a 'long' run tomorrow either...these 'ol bones are starting to wear down.

Elliptical @ L6 for 5 miles = 60 min. Lately when I do elliptical I don't really sweat, I'm there to read :) However, today I pushed the pace and was flinging sweat all over. Felt good to get a good workout without running.

Hit the bike for the last 30 min of daycare time. Recumbent bike 8 miles on L2 (a little resistance, maybe like a flat/small up in spin class). Tried to keep the HR up to get a few more calories burned.

I'm really starting to enjoy the book I'm reading as well "The House of the Scorpion" it's a good sci-fi read!

Acted more like a pregnant lady today :)

Some MINOR aches and pains (and allergies or a cold) are convincing me that it's okay to pull down the miles and cross-train. I did want to get in a few today, but they were easy! The boys were at Father's and Son's campout  so my daughter chose to come with me to early spin class and count laps on the track for me. It was fun to have her!

Spin class for an hour - it was a good one! I hate running hills, but in spin I prefer pushing hill climbs than sprints/intervals. Overheard a lady say she hopes I have this baby early so I stop pushing the entire spin class so hard! :) Makes me laugh!!

1/2 mile warm-up before spin then 2 miles with Becca afterward on the track. She kept me from slow 10mm, I think we were closer to 9mm. Either way it was good to chat and run with someone (even if it was painfully slow for her :) ).

After the gym I took my sweet girl to Kneaders for breakfast and we had cinnamon french toast and for any of you who have never been privy to such heaven-ness, let me tell you....mmmm!! I'm sure I more than replaced the 800 calories burned this morning!! EASY...oh so easy, like I said, I acted more like a pregnant lady today :) More eating and less exercising!
