Here we go again~

Just got back from a full week in California/Disneyland and am sleep deprived and exhausted. I slept in today and will pick things up tomorrow :) 

Late morning run with Heidi C. and Jileen. We didn't meet until 7:10, it was lovely!!!! 

Full hour or yoga with Heidi C followed with some abs!!

I am way behind in my blogging and trying to catch up so I know I ran this day but can't remember how far and haven't been wearing my watch :( 

My son woke up this this morning so I had to do a quick 5 miles on the Treadmill so I could get back to nursing duty! At least I got to run :) 

Got up this morning to work out with Tyler before he had to go out of town for a couple of days.  We did P90X Plyometrix (sp?) for about 40 minutes and then I ran a quick 2 miles on the treadmill :) 

Work out video with the Heidi's.  It was a fun morning.  Easy workout but nice little visit! 

5 mile square with the Heidi's this morning!! It was a cold one this morning but at least the air was okay for running! I am ready for warmer temps (just slightly) and cleaner air!! 

7 miler this morning with Michelle!!! Yeah, I got to run with Michelle for the first time in a long time!! It was a great morning and so nice to visit.  I am amazed at how well Michelle has recovered and picked up right where she left off!!  She is also so generous to run with us slow pokes.  It was a cold morning but nice to get the miles in! Thanks Michelle~ 

So I was going to get up this morning and try to run on the treadmill but I am an insomniac lately and couldn't sleep last night (didn't fall asleep until 2:30 and then tossed and turned all night) so I couldn't get my butt out of bed.  I slept in with my kiddos until almost 8:00, it was lovely!! Then, we got up and did some chores around the house, got cleaned up and spent the day together.  We went and had lunch with my mom, then ran some errands and later met up with my in-laws to go to a wedding.  So, we got home and I got the hoodlums to bed and decided I would try to go get some miles in. I was only going to run 3-4 but I started running and felt really good so I kept going.  Not to mention "The Notebook" was on T.V. (only my favorite movie) so there was some entertainment to keep me going.  I ended up running 5 miles then getting weights and doing arm work while walking an additional mile.  I then followed it up with some abs and more arm work. It was a good workout and I am feeling pretty good now.  Too bad it's 11:30 and my adrenaline level is up.  Gonna go hop in the bath and read. That should calm me down.  Night~ 

Strength training with Heidi C this morning!! We did the workout with "Erin" (Gal from the video).  I think I may deem this my favorite workout video for the time (aside from P90's yoga that is :)).  You feel like you are doing nothing, yet are always sore the next day!! LOVE IT!!! 

Race Report especially for cute little Smooth who is checking in on me (Thanks Sweetie Smooth).

Painters 1/2 marathon and 5k. I ran the half marathon course of this last year but this year, given the amount of running I have been doing (or lack of) we opted to do the 5k. We arrived and Tyler settled in line at the front so the Heidi's and I jumped in a ways back and got ready for the event. We decided just to take it as a training run and enjoy ourselves so........we did. We pushed ourselves the last .25 mile or so, but otherwise, just enjoyed the moment, running in St. George, and being a part of the running world. It was a great time with the girls. We then finished the race, hung for a minute and ran out for another 2 miles to keep things real. Tyler had to hustle home to spell his mother who had our boys so it was a nice morning with the Heidi's and I enjoyed seeing so many of my wonderful friends from the blog who ran the half. Way to go everyone!

5 mile sqare with H.C. (Heidi C) this morning.  Its the first time I have ran this course this winter (since November or so) without being fatigued, breathy, or flat out tired when getting done so, maybe there is hope for me afterall :).  Great way to start the morning and week :)

I haven't been wearing my watch so I have no idea on pace.   

I did a new Jillian Michaels workout tape with H.W. (Heidi W.) this morning and HOLY FREE HOLY!!! IT KICKED MY BUTT!!!!  I literally shook for 3 hours afterwards.  Man, it was great! Thanks for getting my tail feather out of bed Heid~ 

Nice casual morning with the Heidis.  We started our normal course and just kind of kept walking and talking deciding that we didn't want to run the usual 5 mile square. We turned up into some neighborhoods and walked and ran on and off.  Then walked out the end. It was a nice change and nice to visit and feel some sore muscles being worked out after yesterdays killer strength training session :) 

Hour of Yoga this morning with Heidi C.  I couldn't fine my blasted yoga mat (its become a common toy at our house) so it was a bit difficult to really get into some of the positions but Oh well, I still did it and was glad I had gotten up. 

5 mile square with the Heidi's before heading into the weekend. 

Nice solo run today! I got up and wasn't really in the mood to run but I got my house work done and figured it'd be good for me so I went out by myself to get some miles in. The weather was BEAUTIFUL this morning and it was nice going out a little later then I normally get to go.  It was also nice to just listen to some music and do some thinking.  Sometimes that is good for ya :).
