Sore from yesterdays lifting and planking.  I think those planks will bring me to an early grave.  That or I'm just a wimp.  I think it is the later.....

I'm feeling a big discouraged that I'm not running more miles.  Heck I just ran a marathon 4 weeks ago.  But my body seems to be rebelling.... maybe I just needed more recovery time and did too much too soon.

My right foot feels ok with the 3 mile runs, so I may try to go a bit farther on Wednesday or Thursday.  BUT I need to lift and get stronger.  It HAS to be a priority.  But I only have so much time in the morning to run and lift and something has to give.  It is only October and I still have awhile till my next real race (the turkey trot doesn't count).  But subconsciously it stresses me out.

Hubby was out of town, so I had to run after I dropped everyone off at school.  I didn't like it - it felt like I wasted half of my morning and I didn't get anything else done.  BUT I did get to sleep in which was heavenly!

Before run:  high knees and butt kicks

The first 2 miles, I felt like I was huffing and puffing.  I felt horrible!  But then immediately I warmed up and all was right in the running world again.  The weather was so wonderful - cold, sunny and leaves crunching under my feet. 

I got new shoes...they felt like butter!  Right foot felt ok...we'll just wait and see

After run:  just a few high knees

My husband's travel schedule is messing with my workouts!  I'm not sure if I would have gone today.  Stupid foot hurts after Wednesday's run and I'm getting a cold (body aches, sore throat, runny nose).  AND I have to take my kids to Gardner Village to see the dumb witches alone....grrrr.  I HAVE to get tomorrow!
