So I obviously blew it this morning when I did not get out of bed to run.

Instead I worked out after dinner.  I first did The Warrior.  Charlotte started out "working out" with us.  She has her own mat and she mostly just does downward dog with a leg lift, unless we are doing something that resembles jumping.  Then she jumps up and down with us.  But she got crabby pretty quick.  I asked her if she wanted to go to bed, and she started sobbing, but said yes.  So I paused and put her to bed.

The boys did the workout with me, at least kinda.  Caleb did really well with it.

Then we went to the treadmill and took turns running.  Caleb ran 1.5 miles (split into 3 go rounds), Eli did .5 and I did 3.  My 3 was broken up because they were clamoring to run.

I find that when I blow off one day of working out in the morning, it gets me off track until I take a day off running.  This is because I don't really have the desire to finish running at 9 and then wake up the next morning before 5.  Hopefully I can get back on track this week, because there are a couple days that I will not be able to run other than at 5 a.m.

Heh, I kinda miss my girls being that age. And I kinda don't. Looks like you're having a good week so far, keep it up!

Yeah, 2 is an age full of ups and downs. I've been blessed with pretty even tempered kids, but any 2 year old is going to be annoying when tired.

Thanks. I'm trying to figure out my running goals. I don't really have any that are burning in me right now, so I'm content just to run 4-5 miles 4-5 days a week. I feel like I'm back in the running after finishing p90x.
