I had kids up all night with sore throats and body aches.  I think I may be ready for spring to come.  I ended up running at 4:30pm while my big girls were at Activity Days.

38 minutes...so slow but I felt good.

Awesome workout Toby! You always are hitting your x-training to keep your body happy with the miles SO well. Sorry about the sick kiddos...NOT fun! I'm ready for spring too, but then again I could live in spring :)

I was looking at your workouts this week. Looks like some good strength training. Curious what LLL means?

Thanks Rachel! I don't mind the cold weather....actually, I love it!! But I'm not fond of the sickness it brings!

Erick: I have found so many amazing workouts on Pinterest. So awesome! LLL is a lateral leg lift. I do it with toes pointed up, out and bended knee. I have really weak hips and that exercise really helps.
