find each others light

Lysa and I ran the 1 and 1/2 backwards (ha! the opposite direction). The sun was behind the clouds and it was very cool outside. We ran without music and we talked. There was a time when we couldn't run without music. 

My time was 31:15 and my average was 10:03.

After running I personally trained with Jackie Warner!:) I did the Lower Body Circuit (15 min) and the Abs Only Circuit (15 min) from her Power Circuit Training DVD. I should be back to doing the entire body circuit training on cross day because the pain in my hip flexor is gone.

I then did the plank (one of my faves) 3 times holding for a minute each time!

Total: 49:14 Avg: 9:51 Great run with Lysa. Beautiful cool morning. We were a little faster today and ran up two big hills! C'mon Lysa, call yourself FAST! Love ya, especially for not caring if I have toothpaste on my face in the morning:)

Time 32:08 Avg 10:42 Ugh. Didn't get much sleep. I was sluggish getting up and that continued throughout the run. Windy, hot but trudged through. Lysa was a no show. Sluggishness may have been due to the fact that I was jumping on the tramp last night. Sore from handsprings. I'm too old to be doing that. But I did almost land a full back twist:) Not worth it. No more tramp for me.

Power yoga. 50 minutes. 

Resting and restless. Should I be?

Great long run with Lysa. Last time I ran 10 miles was July 2008. We left at 6am and it was 50 degrees. Nice and cool. So beautiful to see the sun coming up over the green, snow capped mountains. I'm loving long runs, even though my legs are hurting right now.  I actually like that feeling. I did something hard and challenging and I did it all while my kids were asleep:) I had my water bottle, gu's and gum ( I chew while I run). Next time I'm taking ibuprofen and lip balm with me. I would love to take a nap today. We'll see. My husband is running Ragnar today and tomorrow with people from work. I'll be back next year, hopefully with a van full of friends this time.

I ignited my fat-burning potential this morning by doing Jillian Michaels-Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. It's Cardio Circuit training. Seven 6-minute circuits. Kicked my butt. Didn't modify once. Serious sweat! 50 minutes total.
