I Probably Should Make My Blog Public again

I always struggle on whether I should log something as fast or not.  I did 5 miles in 45 min.  

I felt great!

I ran outside--it is 40 today, sunny, and all the snow is melting.  It is the first time I've run outside in a long time. My foot felt awesome--I noticed that I use my feet differently when NOT on the treadmill.  I have been trying to push off more on the treadmill, but today I was pushing off because I was running normally.

I planned on doing 4 miles and then I felt good enough to do 5.  Thought about going 6 but 1) I didn't want to push it--these 5 miles are more than 1/2 of the average miles I've done the past 3-4 weeks.  and 2) my husband wanted to go out to get a good seat at the KC's for the Super Bowl.  so I decided 5 was enough.

This was a good motivation--now I need to carry it over during the week.

worked out at home for 40 minutes and then lifted.  Since I was unable to go to my class today I also wanted to do Tae-bo, but I couldn't find my DVD.

My husband is working late pretty much all this week (except Thursday) and I may have to take back my promise never to bring the kids to the gym again.  I can work out at home, but my workout is never as intense when I do.

I know that the reason I felt sluggish today is that I am losing my running fitness.  I am looking forward to 1) the weeks where my husband is home earlier than 6 most days 2) when the days are longer and it is at least a little light out later in the day.

The instructor for my ab core and yoga classes broke her hand and had to have surgery, so my class is canceled until further notice.  I'm bummed because my gym membership runs out soon and that was one of the reasons I wanted to extend my membership and I probably won't now.  I think I'm going to look into getting a yoga video or something like that.

I had class last night--it was supposed to go until 10, but I ended up getting home at 8:30.  I had planned on trying my new yoga video, but opted for watching the rest of Nemo with Caleb.  We both fell asleep waiting for my husband to get home.

I thought I'd do yoga before I had to go to class today, but I slept in instead.  Then as a treat, I got home WAY early from class (it was supposed to end at 4 and I got home at 1:30).  So I ran a nice, long, easy run.  

It was in the 50s today, briskly windy, but the wind wasn't overwhelming.  I wish it would stay this way!

Then I did 25 minutes of my new yoga video.  It gets progressively harder, so I will be working my way into the harder sections!
