"ran" for 35 minutes at home while the kids were napping.  It probably translates to about 3 miles, but I have no way of really knowing, plus it's like the elliptical in that I don't feel it is really running.

Then I lifted arms.  I increased weights on everything but biceps and triceps.

I varied my pace.  I did 5 minutes at 9:13, 5 at 8:34, 5 at 8, then 2 min at 7:30 and 1 at 7.  The second time I did less at the fastest paces.

I was wiped after this run, but I still did my class.  I have felt so tired this last week.  I thought it was because of my period, but it's almost over and I still feel drained.  

The class was almost all abs today, but it felt good.  I was feeling really hot and light-headed after I was done, though.

Just did my ab class.  We did a lot of squats and wall-sits before doing everything else.  It was a good one.  I don't feel sore, per se, but I feel like I got a good workout.  I was glad I didn't run before.

I brought the kids for the first time to the gym.  It went okay, but I'll probably never bring them again.  1) Caleb was pouting while I was gone and I felt guilty about taking more time than I already had 2) when I went to get the kids, they were in a racquetball court and the baby-sitter was standing in the doorway cussing up a storm while she was talking to a couple of people outside the court.  I mean, it was f-this and f-that while she had 4 kids with her!  I almost felt moved to call and complain, but I will just solve my own problem by never bringing them again.

Did the yoga class and then ran 2.2 miles, even though my legs didn't want me to.
